tacx antares rollers. i tried turbos and got bored so quickly. rollers improve your road craft and make you a better rider
yes training rollers every time, take a little time to get your balance and technique sorted but then they are top draw
I have a Cycleops mag too and I agree it is very noisy if you are giving it some effort.
On the other hand it is cheapish, well made, solidly built and consistent in the work out it gives.
I'd say that noise is the only down side.
i have a cyclops mag , and it sounds like a jet engine when you go above 20mph ... the gel ones are supposed to be a damn sight quieter , so if noise is an issue , id reccomend one of those
not used any of the above but I have a fluid trainer with gel roller, quieter than my cateye c1000 mag trainer. Gel seems to be more tyre friendly but set up of pressure on roller and pressure in tyres may take a bit of time to get right, cheers.
