Fluid turbo trainers

[vickster]

Evans will match at £180 on the Fluid 2, just need to dither a little while longer if anyone else has any thoughts. Noise isn't a massive issue as long as I can hear the TV

@jay clock is it stable on carpet, a wobbly feeling is why I've never been keen on TTs before!

rock solid on carpet or solid floor. Mine a few years old but fundamentally the same. At club turbo session I do I am ways set up in about a quarter of the time of anyone else, and it doesn't have one of those ludicrous cables to adjust tension. Just preset tension at the back and then use the gears

I have the jet fluid pro and I would say it's pretty quiet, there was an improvement using a trainer tyre

I'm sure cycleops trainers have a lifetime guarantee too

Halfords have the Fluid 2 back in stock so I've ordered one click and collect and will use my BC membership to get 10% off

I'll get the riser block from Evans as I have a Tesco voucher

I know you said you don't want a smart trainer, but can I bee cheeky enough to ask why? I certainly found that moving to smart trainer revolutionised my training, certainly on the boredom side.

Because I can't bear anything that is competitive and/or even vaguely resembles a video game

I will use it to catch up on TV and get me off the sofa, as I have done with the exercise bike. A TT is just less space hungry and I have a carbon roadbike I've not ridden for 18 months!

Also, you have worn out a stationary cycle. I think at this point we can assume you know what you want.

Don't forget at least one fan to keep you cool. I need two even in the cold garage.

I'll be fine, don't get that hot, don't go very hard. Can open back door or turn heating down.

 

[stumpy66]

You'll b surprised, even on my easier sessions I still need a fan, just enough to keep the air moving past me or to dry my hands off in front of it occasionally

Any turbo work and a fan is essential IMO. I'd dissolve in my own sweat otherwise.

 

[vickster]

I really don't perspire that much cycling but will bear in mind

I picked up the TT today...and the flipping exercise bike appears to be working again!!

Not like, but you know what I mean At least you have choices, be interesting which you end up using more.
