Travel Trac a good trainer brand?

[johnb41]

I want to buy a new trainer. Performance Bike has a brand called
Travel Trac. I'm interested in one called Travel Trac Millenium V
FluidForce. It has a wireless gadget that shows info like speed,
mileage, power, etc.

I can't find any reviews on the web for this. Does anyone have any
experience with this brand, or even better, this exact model?

Thanks,
John

Any trainer that tracks slope and elevation gain must be good,
particularly if you're riding it in your garage or basement.

There ARE earthquakes in my area, so I might need that.

You know how people raise the front of their bike while on the trainer to
simulate climbing? I do the opposite. You can really get the trainer
hummin' if you lower the front and ride downhill.

That's the only time you can get into the 11, right?

It helps if you put a fan behind you to simulate a tailwind.
