CycleOps Fluid 2 Indoor Bicycle Trainer – Reviews

It was surprzingly easy to take the bike on and off the trainer. The resistance seems to get greater as the resistance unit heats up. I find it best for high cadence workouts. Overall, this is a very good trainer.

I have tried a couple of trainers, and they were nothing like the Cycleops. The feel is very much like riding on the road. The set-up was easy, and I use the trainer 4 to 5 times a week, without dreading it. I would highly recommend this item to anyone who wants a great off-season workout.

I used to do a lot of road riding 20 years ago, so now I’m not really “in shape” for returning to road riding. I got this trainer when I bought a new road bike since I used to use an old fan based trainer, the fan was very noisy! I didn’t like the idea of the mag trainer having a resistance selector via cable or having to get off the bike to adjust. The fluid trainers adjust resistance based on how fast the rear wheel spins… faster spin, more resistance… this makes it perfect for the training videos that are available… they say you should shift up or down and the resistance will then be easier or harder. Actually, most of the training videos I’ve seen use fluid based trainers (either cycelops or kinetic) anyway.

I do my exercise at night, usually when my family has gone to sleep. I wouldn’t call the trainer very quite, but it’s certainly not loud. I can be downstairs and the family asleep upstairs and it doesn’t disturb them… even with the bedroom right above where I’m ridin

So my fluid trainer is a couple of years old now. For the first couple of “off-seasons”, I really enjoyed it. But it slowly grew noisier. Finally, just a couple of days ago, I burned out the chrome cylinder that the rear wheel rides on. Come to find out, that I know of one other person that had this identical problem! Like I said, mine is a couple of years old (so was my friend’s) so maybe the problem has been identified. Another friend has one that is less than a year old but he’s gonna sell it to me cause he never uses it…hopefully it lasts longer than mine did! For the time that it worked, my trainer was really great…just expect more that a couple years from a trainer that cost me $300.
Good luck!
