    Hi,

    A friend of mine has asked me a few questions about resistance trainers (below). I know nothing
    about them, so if anybody can provide information of this topic it would be most appreciated.

    Thanks

    Jaron

    Do you or Patrice or a cycling friend of yours know anything about resistance trainers? I'm looking
    at a few at the moment. I can't decide whether to go for the fluid resistance type, which is more
    expensive, but apparently better simulates riding on the road since resistance is dependent on how
    fast you are cycling, or the mag resistance type, which has a model that grips the rim instead of
    running on the tyre, so you don't have to use slicks on your back wheel or wear your tyres out.

    I also don't know much about them, only to say that I own a rim mag trainer and I MUCH prefer riding
    outside! :-)
