Trainers

Yes. They usualy come with a metal skewer, because the clamp will tear up the plastic or nylon nuts that are on most OEM skewers. That model looks like a magnetic trainer. The fluid trainers cost little more, but give a much more realistic road feel. I have both a Kurt Kinetic Road Machine (kurtkinetic.comroadmachine.phpOpen ↗) and a Cycleops Fluid2 (cycleops.comp 118 fluid.aspxOpen ↗). I like the stand on the Cycleops better, but I think the resistance unit on the Kinetic is better. Both, though, are excellent trainers. My wife has ridden the Cycleops for an hour per day, five days per week for about two years with no problems. I use the Kinetic an hour per day four days per week from about October until April, but I do not use it much the rest of the year. I have had no problems with the trainer, but I would much rather be on the road.

Second that.
In particular the Kurt Kinetic trainer... It's a great choice. It costs more but if you're serious about your indoor workouts I don't think you can get one any better than this.

I have one and I'm very happy with it, as you can probably tell.
