Bike guys? Indoor trainer what one.

Big bucks $450 plus shipping

 

Fluid 2 yep

+1 on the fluid 2

 

Rollers for sure.

15 minutes on rollers is worth 30+ on a stationary trainer. The benefit is huge for your riding and really smoothes out your pedaling.

Put them in a doorway if you need to.

I can now watch movies while on the rollers.

They are fun too. You can play a game with how close you can get to the edges. Practice drinking from your water bottle, one handed, no handed, etc...I had a heck of a time getting into full aero on my tt bike.

Makes those winter rides easier and safer too as your bike handling skills will improve greatly.

 

Look like I'll be getting the Fuild 2 Soon as I can get a hold of Blue Ridge. (email, on the way)

 

A trainer for her is like donuts for me.........only the good stuff.

 

Thanks, waiting on a call from my supplier.:up:

 

At that price, I'm surprized more people are not ordering them too. Tis the season you know.

 

+1 otherwise see if there is a deal like this near you. I've been doing it all off season and it is the way to go and gets rid of the bordem of riding a trainer;

$400.00, local bike shop.

 

I just picked up a fluid trainer for dirt cheap (and free shipping). Pretty excited. Does anyone use training blocks and shoes or just their regular kicks and books and blocks?

 

I really hate solid trainers (way way prefer rollers). Glad you got your Nashbar/PB New Year's sale price

I use a block under the front wheel, but it could just as easily been a half-block cinderblock. I do get geeked up with the pants and shoes (the shoes make a hell of a difference pulling your feet through the entire pedal motion, should feel kindof like you're trying to pull the loops out of carpet with golf shoes/cleats, IMO).

The bike shorts with some real padding work well - I've got some PIs I've had for a while now that I really like if I'm on the torture device (rollers/trainer) for over 20 min (usually an hour).

 

It seemed too good to pass up. Just got a different tire. Was thinking of a block and shoes, but I can use my cross training shoes and shorts. The local bike shop has a Wednesday night BYOB trainer night and they pedal for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

What I want to see is WERA jersey image.

 

My bike has the old school strap-in pedals. My old mag trainer came with a block for the front tire, I just kept it.

 

The Rock & Roll is the bomb !!
Money well spent. I don't dread jumping on it.

 

Kurt Kinetic. I have the hydraulic one. Just spend the money on it, it's worth it. You can find decent ones used on eBay. I got mine about $60 off because it'd been used as a demo in a mall for a couple hours.

 

I always ride with cycling shoes, so I always use my cycling shoes with the trainer. I use a trainer block, they're like $20 and worth the price, it holds the front tire better and has variable height adjustment.

 

I know - its awesome. I spend much more time on the trainer this year. I wouldn't own another one.

 

Got a fluid 2 kit on CL that had barely been used for $125. So far it seems to fit the bill.

 

I had a Kurt and it was a good peice of equipment, but I ended up trading it for a set of cranks. I can't stand to do anything in one place. Get me outside, I need movement, scenery, falling down and shit.

Good Luck to the OP though.

 

Same here, I can fall down with the best of 'em.
