(More customer reviews)I'm in the military, currently studying at West Point, and recently took up cycling as a competetive sport. Since it is starting to get cold and I don't have the money to buy cold weather clothes, so i decided to invest a little money in a trainer. After extensive research, i decided to get the cycleops fluid2 mainly for it's high resistance power curve to improve myself for the spring season.
After my first workout on the trainer, all i have to say is that this thing is a beast. I used the included Criterium workout that came with the trainer, and I couldn't go past the 4th largest cog for more than a minute near the end. Totally smoked from that workout, which is a good thing. The best part of the trainer is the fact that it has the quick release for when you're done with your workout. I haven't used a trainer with a knob, but it would probably suck cranking it tight enough for it not to slip.
Setup was a complete breeze, except that there was a rock or some mineral or something in the thread for the quick release which slowed my setup down to 40 minutes trying to get the stupid thing out. Other than that, the setup shouldn't have taken more than 10 mintues.
The extra money spent on the blocks, mat, and sweat catcher thing are really worth it though. I had 3 big puddles of sweat on the mat when i was done after 40 minutes of spinning. Seeing as sweat is corrosive, the sweat catcher probably absorbed another puddle of sweat that could've damaged my bike.
All around, it's a great set and worth the money if you're willing to spend the money on it. This is my first trainer, and I didn't want a cheap trainer that would break after my first year of use and as a warm-up tool before races. Can't go wrong with cycleops.
