Edinburgh Bicycle New Year Honours - Home Training
The winner - an updated old favourite Cycleops Fluid 2 '07 - £154.95	Cycleops Fluid 2 Home Trainer £159.95 The Fluid 2 is a new version of an old favourite: the Cycleops was the first trainer we ever stocked with fluid rather than magnetic or fan resistance. Fluid resistance is good because it is quieter. Fluid is very good because the resistance is progressive - i.e the harder you 'work' the harder the resistance - just like when you ride outside, so the Cycleops feels very realistic. Fluid resistance is simpler - because the resistance is progressive, this does away with the need for a bar mounted lever. Nor does it require a cable from the resistance unit at the back of the bike to the handlebars, so it's a very clean design. ‘Featuring a larger flywheel, the Fluid feels more realistic with no biopacing. Being fluid resistance there’s an inherent quietness in use - a good choice for those with unsympathetic neighbours.’ Cycling Plus: November 2005.
Fits near any adult bike (including 24" wheelers) Minoura ERDA 850 Remote '07 - £164.95 RRP £174.95	Minoura ERDA 850 Remote Home Trainer £164.95 ERDA means Evolution Rim Drive Action - i.e. this trainer’s rollers spin on the rear wheel’s rim, not the tyre. Being rim driven, it's no problem to train indoors on knobbly MTB tyres on this Minoura. Also, you can adjust the position of the rollers so they run on any size of rim: 24-29".
