Summary: Beat the Winter Riding Blues
Comment: Bought this trainer to keep in shape over the usual winter down-time. I like that it uses my regular bicycle so my tail-end stays acclimated to the seat, too. Unit assembles easily, though I did have to glue the plastic axle clamp bushings in-place to keep them from working loose. A "slave" rear axle assembly for your bike is provided so you don't mar your regular axle in the clamping mechanism. Changing the axle and mounting your bicycle only takes a minute or two. Resistance is very smooth and progressive. There is not a noticable step-change in effort as you shift gears, but the change in heart rate (via heart monitor) is apparent and can be easily controlled. Very pleased with purchase.

Summary: Great while it lasted
Comment: 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!

Summary: I almost bought this trainer until...
Comment: I actually ordered this trainer, but then I found a road bike review comparing trainers. I discovered that the 1up trainer was far superior, being quiet, durable, road-realistic and having three resistance settings instead of just one. So back went the Cycleops and in came the 1up trainer. I'm quite happy.
