Resistance Trainers Archive

The most road-like feel of any CycleOps trainer. In essence, it’s a resistance unit encased in hydraulic fluid. Unlike the Mag’s external variable resistance, on the Fluid 2 the harder you pedal, the hotter the fluid gets and the more resistance you experience. But there’s more going on than just that: the Fluid 2 is designed with Power Band technology that makes the level of resistance also a function of cadence and gearing. The ranges of resistance you can potentially experience is unbelieveable — it varies from 20 watts to 725 watts, all a function of your gearing and cadence. The Fluid 2 has a cooling mechanism built in to give tons of durability. And, like the Mag, the Fluid 2 easily folds up and comes with the Quick-Lock bike mount, a custom skewer, and a CTS climbing workout video sure to pain you greatly.

As much as we love the idea of having a trainer that allows our bike to feel like it’s moving under us, having a trainer that’s compact and easy to travel with is hugely important. With the Road Machine Fluid Trainer, Kinetic by Kurt offers the same fluid resistance unit from their Rock and Roll Trainer and have it attached to a lighter, more compact frame.The Road Resistance Unit is an impressive feat of engineering. It uses a 6.25-pound (2.84kg) flywheel and a completely sealed fluid resistance unit. Together, they give you a consistent road-like feel and resistance curve. The tire roller is made of stainless steel and is 2.5in (6.35cm) in diameter, which is a good bit larger than much of the competition. The larger roller means less wear on your tire and it reduces the temperature of the spinning elements.The resistance unit is unique as it’s made of two parts. The first is the driver made of a small flywheel embedded with six rare-earth magnets. The other half is a completely sealed cast-aluminum fluid chamber that is bolted to the housing containing the driver. The fluid chamber contains an impeller with corresponding magnets. As you ride, the magnets in the driver spin the impeller through medical-grade silicone fluid to provide the resistance. And since there is no driveshaft entering the fluid chamber, the Kinetic design eliminates a common design weakness of most fluid-resistance units.Of course, the system builds heat; your energy has to go somewhere (in this case friction). However, the fluid acts as a coolant and the chamber has 80 cooling fins on the outside that act like radiator fins. It’s impossible to overheat the chamber or reach a point where performance is diminished. The silicone fluid retains its physical properties, even up to the normal operating temperature of 325? F when riding 25mph.There are several benefits to this system.

No more rainy day excuses. Take the velodrome into your living room with the Indoor Bike Trainer Stand by Sportneer –a cyclical
support that allows you to build up a burn regardless of the weather.

With a wide base, 5 adjustable rubber feet, and swoopingly low stance, this stationary bike converter offers unshakable stability. The kind that
won’t have you wobbling across the floor as soon as you spin into action.

The stationary bike stand’s noise reduction resistance wheel works to reduce the hum generated by your spinning rear wheel, so you won’t
have to pound out the jams and whirr the house down just to get some tunes going while you ride –much to the relief of your
girlfriend, dog, and disgruntled neighbors. Also, the smoother resistance wheel can prolong the lifespan of your bicycle.

Training for the trail? The bicycle stand comes with 6 remote controlled resistance settings to help you simulate even the toughest
inclines right from you handlebar. And the bike stand can be easily folded down to just 22” x 18” x 6” for easy transport when
training away from home.

The Sportneer Indoor Bike Trainer fits any road or mountain bike with a 26-28″ or 700c wheel. Including: Liv’s Lust Advanced 1,
Marin Attack Trail 9, GT Verb Expert, Jamis Defcon 2, and Felt Decree 3.
Please note that although the Indoor Bike Stand does feature noise reduction technology, the use of mountain bike tires may
affect noise output.

For most of us who don’t live in a tropical climate, spring racing means a winter spent slugging out miles in the living room. The CycleOps Fluid 2 Winter Training Kit can’t melt the snow, but it does minimize the sting of staying indoors and provides everything you’ll need to get the most out of those hours. The bulk of this kit is the Fluid 2 trainer, which gives more resistance as the pedals spin faster for a resistance range from 20 watts up to 725 watts. This means that this one little trainer has a resistance range that accommodates everything from a recovery spin to short, hard interval efforts. With a wide, two-inch roller, the Fluid 2 also gives a smoother ride with less tire wear than trainers with a smaller roller. It features a wide base for stability and a simple yet secure locking system to hold your bike firmly in place even when you jump out of the saddle to sprint. The CycleOps Fluid 2 Winter Training Kit comes complete with the Fluid 2 trainer, two climbing blocks (no more propping up your front wheel with old textbooks), a trainer mat to protect your floor, and a sweat guard to protect your bike. It will accommodate tires from 26in to 29in with rear spacing of 120mm, 130mm, and 135mm.

The CycleOps SuperMagneto Pro is an ideal indoor trainer for the multiple-cyclist household. The Flexible Power Curve Technology offers four distinctly different power curves by changing the location of the four resistance magnets; as they move away from the trainer’s axis, resistance increases. “Easy” allows you to warm up before a workout. The “Road” setting offers a sharper resistance curve to more convincingly mimic road conditions. The “Interval” setting features a sharp contrast in resistance between low and high speeds, making intervals harder and recovery easier. “Mountain” simulates riding a World Cup course with the resistance of steep, high wattage climbs followed by the skill-focused recovery of a descent. Each flywheel is individually balanced for reduced bearing wear and concentrates its mass at the flywheel’s outer edge to maximize inertia; a pause in your pedal stroke won’t cause the unit to come to a stop. With the Pro Series frame you get a wider base to back up your biggest efforts, the ability to level the unit, one-sided installation for quick set up and removal and includes the Realrides Race Day DVD. The CycleOps SuperMagneto Pro is foldable for easy storage.
