When all else fails, passive-aggressive is a good approach to cover for your impolite assumptions. And, by the way, my other post mentioned TrainerRoad, so I must also be a shill for that company as well. Honestly, this has become absurd and pointless, and way off-topic. Thanks for the uninvited debate.
Don’t worry - it would have been much worse if you had said you loved your Karbon Speed Wheels! (underhanded jab at other thread…)
Curious, so I had to look at the posts you referenced - thanks, made me laugh.
Check out DCRainmaker’s blog (http://www.dcrainmaker.com) if you run dry here. He had a recent post reviewing trainers. Very thorough, especially on new gizmos.
…Passive aggesive? uninvited debate…well screw off. I am not anonymous like you and been here for awhile. Were you invited to post?..I’ll stand by my post as I imagine you will yours. Think I am impolite, sorry.
Being here for awhile and being non-anonymous doesn’t absolve stupid, but you keep diggin that hole, friendo.

Keep crying. I’m lobbying for duane.jones to be kickbanned. Because of his blatant shilling, the entire CycleTek brand is marred in my eyes. TrainerRoad is not. I talk about them too, but they’re not in most of my posts. DJ seems to surf the forums looking for a chance to bring up CycleTek. That’s suspicious. He never talks about races, or his bike, or great rides, or anything else.
Now name callin…ok. Listen. If i was/am completely out of line it will show itself, you will be posting and contributing on a number of topics for those to learn from. So I still am comfortable to point out that two people in their first posts only promote a product. If I am a stupid idiot with in a month it will be apparenet because of all the other posts you two make. So as we stand, your only other posts is to point out my stupidity. I am ok with that
Crying? The product is marred because of…c’mon, think for yourself, and then decide about something on it’s merits, not because somebody may be a seller promoting what they may believe is a worthy product (explicitly, solidasarock7).
No name-calling, just pointing out the “inherent weakness” in the points you raised. But nice to see the passive-aggressive surface again after the “screw you” bit of truth.
I posted similar thread couple weeks ago.
I have the KK road trainer. I can tell you the KK is very nice, quite and very efficient. Much better than the travel trec plus I was on. Fun thing, the fan I use is actually louder than the KK trainer.
I was debating between the cycleops Jet pro and kk. Both solid I’m sure
To specifically answer your question, I used an elite crono power fluid trainer, which was fine, but the resistance was so ramped up it always seemed hard on my knees (apparently threw my pedaling stroke off). Before purchasing a trainer, I went to some indoor classes at my LBS and rode the Road Machine a couple of times, and the Cycleops. The Kurt was amazing to me, smooth and made my legs feel like I had been outside riding. The Cycleops fluid was nice, but to me, just not as smooth as the KK. Went to purchase it when the $271.20 sale was going on, and stumbled upon my current trainer I mentioned. For the price range you recounted, I think the KK is amazing, but I don’t have a lot of experience with the Tacx - tried it once for all of five minutes.
Oh, and the Cycleops fluid 2 seemed louder than KK.

You really are a moron.
Thanks for all the responses, going to go with the Kurt Kinetic as it just seems to be the best option out there.
thanks

great to see all the posts contributing

Give it a rest. Or, keep diggin that hole.
I have a Kinetic RnR trainer. I love it. It’s really smooth, especially with the (pro) flywheel attachment. For out of saddle efforts it’s nice that the whole bike moves as it would on the road. It does have a large footprint due to the roll feature. That’s the only complaint I have about it.
