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

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.
