Greetings All,

Wanted to get a trainer, and need a recommendation....

I ride Road 700c and 29er SS, have 26" bikes too...

Does it matter, what bike you use to warm up on?
(just to either warmup or stay loose, in a 24 situation)

Is there specifics for MTB or Roadies?

Any can recommend a favorite?

I have been looking at the Blackburn Ultra. I dunno when I will get it but that is the one I am going to buy

Hey Steven,

Fluid trainer if you can, it gives the best "feel".
As far as something to warm up on, if you have a spare to leave in the trainer perfect. The last thing you want to do at 3am is hook up, warm up and then unhook and get to the exchange tent

I leave a road bike in the trainer with the same pedals I have on my race rig, then its easy on and easy off.
I saw your post on granny gear, wish I had known you were looking for a team, I've got a squad ready to roll....there are some socal endurance races coming up this summer......perhaps a duo?

Wrap up:
Got the CycleOps Fluid 2, Thanks Sharky!

Much prefer the outdoors... But very smooth...

Although I keep spilling my Beer~
