I have this, it works fine for me. Not as expensive as a fluid trainer, but almost the same.

Take a serious look at the Minoura rim drive trainers. I sell them at my shop and ALL of my customers love not burning through tires. There are a few different types as with all manufactureres but well worth the cash. I spun on the one that I use for fittings during monday night football and the thing just hummed quietly. That is the RD-850. I've found that the remote switcher isn't really needed since you can reach the tension adjustment with your foot if you snap out of your pedal. Here is a link to the site:

The other nice thing is that you can use ANY bike with ANY tire and not worry about messing them up. Happy spinning!

I have a Minoura Rim Trainer. Not a bad concept. But WAY too loud for me. I prefer the low gurgle of a fluid trainer. Perhaps mine just sucks, but its just too loud.

Now that I know some of you guys look through the special needs bags for kicks, I'm gonna put some really weird stuff in mine. I can see it now. "What the heck was he going to do with a family pack of KFC chicken, a football helmet full of peanut butter, a 12 inch rubber dildo, and naked pictures of Bea Arthur?"

get the kreitler's with resistance and fork stand best of all worlds just a little pricy you can look at the cycleops rollers as well.
