Jet Black Hydro Gel Fluid Trainer.
If poor weather or a lack of time doesn't allow you to cycle outside, a fluid resistance trainer is an inexpensive way of maintaining your exercise regime indoors.
The advantage of a fluid trainer is that the the resistance increases progressively as your pedalling speed increases, much like being out on the road. If the indoor trainer has a heavy flywheel it also assist in re-creating a "road feel" as it simulates the slower acceleration of a bike plus rider. Fluid resistance trainers are very quiet and smooth, with a feel like being outside on the road. Many people hesitate about buying a home trainer, because they are worried it will be used only a few times, then put away, never to return. This may be the case with a lower quality unit, but as stated earlier,a fluid trainer has the most "road like" feel of all. So while it will never replace being out on the road on a warm sunny day, given a wet, cold night...........With the fluid resistance unit, the resistance increases progressively from 5 watts to 900 watts, without need of any additional adjustment, providing an enormous resistance range to suit riders of all strength and fitness levels.
