Learn the differences between magnetic and fluid trainers in order to find the type that will work best for you.
Can't help but it seems like they taking names from x-men
I'll have to watch this a few times. It's going right over my head.
Verey Nice I just got a Kenetic and it is by far the best Trainer
is it rly that quiet? im living in an apartment with thin walls. rly curious if my neighbors will hate me for the buy.
Also thinking of rollers but still not to sure if thats something for a beginner
Thank you for a great video! Easy to understand, clear, no "uhhhh" fillers, and very informative.
Thank you for this video. I would like to acquire a trainer but I don't know what to choose between kinetic kurt fluid and tacx vortex smart 2016 ( electromagnetic). All the technical characteristic + the level of noise are important. So if you could tell me what would you recommend I would so very much appreciate. Thank you very much!
Arrived as expected with all parts intact, also included two hex keys for assembly. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxwOUUBdw8-88Iu4QnQS7q6b2NwZkHiYVl Had to adjust mine slightly to fit my bike, this was easy enough with instructions. I bought it to train with my track bike and found it to have resistance similar to climbing a slight gradient. Takes a while to learn to balance but there is plenty of guidance to help on the internet. Edit: There was more resistance at lower speeds because of the number of contact points but at higher speeds it is much easier as you don’t have to contend with drag.
That would be a Specialized Venge Expert Ui2.
Im trying to decide either the kinetic magnet or kinetic z rollers what the difference and which is better?
my bike doesn't have quick release skewer it has nuts on the rear wheel. would those trainers work with my bike?
I didn't know you had to warm the fluid trainer up before use, im using it for Zwift i feel my Watts is off, so how tight does the tire need to be and how long to warm up the fluid?
Visit the Arts Cyclery website. We would be happy to ship to Vietnam.
what model is the spesh bike in the video?
What do you mean by "leaking"? I'm looking to purchase a trainer on craigslist -- I'm looking for quiet but concerned about the leaking you talked about with fluid trainers.
+Gina Tomaselli Leaking refers to the fluid coming out of the chamber. Fortunately, most modern trainers are leak proof so there is no need to worry about fluid loss or making a mess. Hope this helps!
hi i have a mountainbike 29 wheel, which trainner do you recomeded, for doing on my house, and the one with less noise
+ANGEL COLON Here are a couple good options for quiet trainers that fit a 29" wheel.

I'm looking to get one that works on non quick release wheel. so far I haven't found any. do you have any recommendation?
+Bluehawkwhiteraven Kurt Kinetic makes a thru axle kit, here is the link: kurtkinetic.com/products/kinetic-traxle/
Hope this helps!
What if I accidentally drain the fluid out of my brand new Elite fluid trainer?
if my fluid trainer sounds like a small aircraft engine what's wrong and can I do anything about it?
Are you sure it's not the tire you are using? Knobby tires will make more noise. If you are riding a road bike you can buy a tire designed for indoor trainers and are more smooth and quieter. I am using a Vittoria Zaffiro Pro Home Trainer 700c on my bike and so far so good. It was a hassle to mount the first time because it is beadless and has no shape whatsoever when you receive it folded up in the mail. There a few tutorial videos on TH-cam about mounting beadless tires. My Kinetic Rock and Roll sounds like water running but is not loud.
Is there a bike trainer that doesn't require a special skewer? I have a Road Master (I think) 12 speed that the local bike shop says can't hold a skewer. It is bolted in rather than the quick release axle. The bike shop says I would have to buy a whole new wheel for this, and that the trainer would have to be attached to my bicycle permanently. All said and done, this would require me to spend nearly $250. The bicycle itself didn't cost that much.
Your help would be appreciated, as I currently take medication that affects my balance, and I would like to be able to do this. Thank you.
SportsCrafters makes a MagTrainer which is a basic floor mount system, requires a stand for the front wheel as opposed to the rear. it'll cost a bit more than a standalone system (the front stand doesn't appear to be included) but it doesn't require any rear hub clamp, strictly friction driven. you could look into that, maybe.
Hi thanks for the info.
I do have concern about simulating real road cycling. isn't it the opposite if what the trainer manufacturers designed their trainers to increase difficulty as the rider pedals faster? Isn't it supposed to be the other way around if what we are really aiming is to mimic the real road biking scenario?
If you know such a trainer coupled with virtual capabilities I think I will definetely give it a try.
Not quite. Think of "pedaling faster" as dropping 2 or 3 gears. Doing so would make the pedals much harder to turn over, thus increasing the difficulty.
+Art's Cyclery
why don't we remove gear shifting for a while out of the equation and rethink, but then again if we go about your example in real road cycling as your rev ramp up you will reach a certain point where the resistance dissipates unless otherwise the road it trying to replicate is uphill. In my opinion thus is I think one of the reason why trainers are quite frustrating to use sometime because it doest reward you of backing off its resistance after each hard effort you exerted
I see what you're getting at. Unfortunately, trainers will never be able to replicate true, organic riding. Fluid trainers come as close to real world as we'll be getting. The advantage, again, with fluid trainers is that the harder you pedal, the harder the resistance. So, once you've exerted your effort, you can be "rewarded" by simply pedaling slower and easier. Hope you find what you're looking for!

I am totally new at this. I was wondering if the trainer could work for a mountain bike tire? All the videos I've seen have smooth street bike tires.
Jonathan Huang It works, but not very well and will wear out your mountain bike tire rather quickly.
Should I just change the rubber tire to a street tire or change the wheel entirely?
Jonathan Huang Going to a street tire on your existing wheel would work fine.
It would be very noisy. It is not worth it. You are better off changing to a smooth tire if you can find one for a mountain bike.
can anyone tell me/ link me what base he i using under his front tire ?
i need one!
This is what you're looking for!

I need helpp pleaseee, tacx blue matic or minoura b60-r??? Which is the best one??
+Jeric Uy They both appear to be magnetic, remote-operated trainers in a similar price range, though the Minoura appears to be slightly cheaper. I'd go with whatever product best suits your budget. Thanks!
+Art's Cyclery how about the noise???
+Jeric Uy In truth, we don't have experience with either, but magnetic trainers are way more noisy than fluid trainers, which would be a reason to spend some extra coin on a better trainer.
Oops guess that wasn't the search box ;-)
Could I mount my mountain bike on the Kurt Kinetic trainer?
Jason, that shouldn't be a problem as long as your bike uses a quick-release rear dropout. We wouldn't recommend using it with a through-axle design.
Art's Cyclery Yeah my bike ain't quick release, is there a fix to this or would I have to buy a new bike all together??
Jason Arseneau unfortunately, in that case your bike just isn't compatible with a trainer.
How would someone track mileage on a Fluid Trainer?
Hi Joe, you can use one of the SMART trainers to connect with various training programs and track estimated mileage. If training is the goal, I'd recommend investing in either a power meter or hear rate monitor, you can do tons or structured workouts using just time and heart rate and/or power. I do believe KK makes a smart fluid trainer that could be synced up to one of the various apps, (Zwift is a popular one) that should be able to give you pretty accurate mileage data.
Put a speed sensor on the back wheel
Cool Belgian flag :)
Fluid vs magnet turbo trainers
