Fluid Trainer

I need to get a fluid trainer and am looking for something on the cheaper side. Has anybody bought or used a Nashbar trainer?

Hi Jim - I will be selling either my Kinetic Road Machine or Kinetic Fluid Trainer, but I need to check with the girl friend to see which one she wants. Both are in perfect condition and have only been used for two months. I’d be willing to sell either one for $200 + shipping. Email me at hid@triathlete.com if you are interested.

I have the Performance fluid trainer - just got it this year so can’t speak to its durability, but it’s a nice quiet ride for ~$150.

Where did you get the Performance Trainer? I am not familiar with the brand?

PerformanceBike.com - it’s the house-brand trainer. Looks like it’s about the same as the Nashbar fluid trainer, no surprise there. The Performance-labelled unit seems to have mixed-to-good reviews on roadbikereview.com where you can read plenty of stories of leaking fluid trainers.

Hey Jim,

I have the Nashbar fluid trainer. I really like it thus far, I’ve only had it for a couple months so I don’t know about durability, but it is quite and has a good range of resistance.
