You actually have 3 choices here: Wind, Magnetic and Fluid
Wind and fluid have a power curve that most closely matches real world riding. Wind is cheap, but very loud. Fluid is expensive, quite and excellent. Magnetic is quiet but typically does not mimic real world conditions as well as the other two. It does depend on the manufacturer on this one, as (you guessed it) the more expensive ones perform better. Check out this link: geocities.comtrainerpowerOpen ↗ -

How do you like the blackburn? Looks like I'll be getting one this week, but I would like to hear some feedback about it. Thanks
