My first go with a trainer and while it is not as smooth as an indoor spin bike, it allows for a nice enough ride. It is billed as the quietest of the CycleOps group - but that does not mean it is quiet. Fairly easy to set up. Worth it for less expensive home access to indoor biking and some more seat time on my favorite bike. Purchased along with the CycleOps Stackable Climbing Block and Training Mat - first is a must, second is nice to have.
I am in dental school and this semester in particular I had very little spare time to make it to the gym. I live in a small city apartment, but had a corner where I could set this up with the bike I already have. It's super quiet (once I got the slick tire ($16), that is; before that my mountain bike's knobby tires were extremely loud) and now I can easily squeeze in both a good workout and some TV time at home.
I had a few issues figuring out how to set it up (not everything is exactly obvious), but after a couple internet searches and a you tube video with instructions, it was a piece of cake. I know someone who got a less expensive fluid trainer (don't know the brand, but it's not this exact model for sure) and he says his unit gets extremely hot quickly. This cycleops fluid2 does not overheat at all. It will definitely give you adequate resistance the harder you pedal and the higher the gear you place your bike in.
The trainer provides the right amount of resistance for good spin training. It is also easy on the tire tread, if set up correctly. My only concern is the side to side sway when out of the saddle. It almost feels as though the base should be wider. Thus my 4 out of 5 stars
This is a nice trainer. I had one and just upgraded my wife's from a cheaper model. Her's was so loud we couldn't watch TV is we were spinning together. With two of these its no problem.
This is worth every penny. If you want a trainer, this is great. Simple to setup and use. Nice motion and you do sweat! Don't worry about the price, you want to loose weight. This is worth it. DC
The Fluid2 delivers the best-in-class performance that pro cyclists worldwide demand. There's nothing like training in the real world. But when you can't get outside, it's good to know you've got the Fluid inside. Because our engineers went to great lengths to design and build a trainer that captures the feeling of riding in the real world. Minus the potholes and crosswinds.
The CycleOps Fluid 2 Trainer is a great way to keep your legs in tip-top condition during the off season. While many cyclists dread the indoor training season, ensuring proper bike set up will make any workout more comfortable and enjoyable. This trainer features a new larger flywheel with twice the inertia for an improved, road-like feel. The power-band technology offers the widest resistance range--from easy spins to lung-burning climbs--without ever touching the unit. The infinite resistance curve ensures increased wattage as you increase speed for realistic statistical analysis at the end of your ride. The Fluid 2 is surprisingly quiet, and the self-cooling mechanisms--including a patented fan design--keep the unit performing better, longer. Includes a training DVD to help keep you motivated during your indoor exercise.
