resistance trainers
Hi,
A friend of mine has asked me a few questions about resistance trainers (below). I know nothing about them, so if anybody can provide information of this topic it would be most appreciated. Thanks Jaron ---------------------- Forwarded by Jaron on 26/08/2003 16:42 --------------------------- Hey Jaron, Do you or Patrice or a cycling friend of yours know anything about resistance trainers? I'm looking at a few at the moment. I can't decide whether to go for the fluid resistance type, which is more expensive, but apparently better simulates riding on the road since resistance is dependent on how fast you are cycling, or the mag resistance type, which has a model that grips the rim instead of running on the tyre, so you don't have to use slicks on your back wheel or wear your tyres out.

I also don't know much about them, only to say that I own a rim mag trainer and I MUCH prefer riding outside! :-) Check this: http://www.google.com/groups?hl=en&l...=off&q=trainer +mag+fluid hip |
