- You want hills? We got hills
Only just seen this thread and was hoping to push the button today on a turbo. As I get older I worry more about bombing around the hills in wintry weather.
I was going to go for a fluid-resistance model. But the comment upthread about variability in resistance due to temperature has made me think. I'll be using it in an (almost) unheated conservatory. So at the moment it isn't much above freezing. But it could be 15 degrees on a sunny winter's day. Much variability with this sort of temperature spread?
To keep motivation I'll need to set targets etc so I don't want variability in resistance to undermine this
Looks like Cycleops is a recommended brand. Their mag version I can buy for £104, the fluid version is about double that. So bearing I mind the potential issue with temperature varying the fluid resistance, is it worth the extra?
