When the weather is all wrong This Baby Is Alright!
I purchased the Kurt Kenetic two months ago and am thrilled with its performance and quality. If you are considering purchasing a trainer fluid trainers are the way to go. Basically there are four major types of trainers: MagneticWind Rim Driven and Fluid. The later is the best hands down! Fluid resistance trainers are more quiet smoother and more realistic than any of the others mentioned. The only drawback to the fluid trainer is that over time they can leak resistance fluid. There are three companies that have solutions to this drawback. I highly recommend that you research all three and test them out where possible. A good review page is Roadbikereview.com . The CycleOps Fluid 2 is ultra smooth and quiet. They have a limmited warranty on thier products but are known for standing behind their trainers for life and will fix any issues probably for life! The One Up Trainer has all the advantages of a fluid trainer but uses no fluid in its designe it is made in America and carries a life time warranty. The Kurt Kinetic which I decided to purchase is IMHO the best because it utilizes a sealed fluid unit and therefore is guranteed not to leak. These three units are roughly the same price around $260.00. Steep? Think of it this way This product is going to be your companion for many winters so don't buy a loud crappy one with crappy customer service! You'll regret later that you didn't spend the extra $75 or $80 on a quality product. I also tested the Blackburn Fluid $100 bucks cheaper not bad for price but since it is new to the market I was unsure about durabillity or how well they stand behind thier trainers after warranty expiration. I have heard amazing testimonials of how Cyclops Kurt and One Up have replaced parts and even whole trainers no questions asked! Google these three companies and see for yourself.More detail ...
