Fluid Turbo Trainer - Variable Resistance

The media could not be loaded. Instructions are a bit pants, but fairly easy to work out how to assemble. Well packaged against damage. Holds my hybrid mountain bike solidly and doesn’t make too much noise in use. The video makes it sound louder than it is in reality. I changed the tyres to semi slick to help reduce noise. 27.5” x 2” and it fits perfectly. No need to over tighten the adjuster, so no tyre damage so far. I’m happy at the price that I have a well made piece of kit that does what it claims.

As per the comment of another reviewer, I wish I'd purchased this years ago.The device is quick to set up (although the instructions could be better), and feels sturdy.In use, it makes very little noise, to the point where the sound of my bike itself is the main source of any noise made. I'm using tread free road tyres so this may be helping keep the volume down.The ride feels smooth and it works as an exercise device.One item to note is that this does not give you a control to adjust resistance mid-use as seen on some other devices although you can adjust your gears to increase or decrease effort.

Once instruction photos studied, very easy assembly. Uesed with road tyres, great noise level. Would have been 5 stars if instructions were cleared on how much asjustment is too much with wheel on roller.

OK so I bought this for the second French lockdown as it was difficult to get a turbo in the first one. I paid 199.99 and now it's at 239.99 though I see the sportneer fluid is 179.99 and looks IDENTICAL. Your choice.Anyhow, with some cheap speed and cadence sensors (Moofit) and a HR sensor (Coolspo) , I'm successfully on Zwift and it's....good. I did buy a trainer tyre but even on a normal road bike tyre noise is not bad and I live in an apartment ( I did put a yoga mat underneath) . The unit is well built and you can work out the assembly ( the instruction photos are rubbish) . It comes with the skewer and the front wheel block, would recommend

I received this a couple of days ago and set it up (the instructions are pretty useless). It states in the Amazon description that it is variable resistance but I can see no way to alter it, so I tried a 30 minute workout at different speeds and gears and nothing changed. Either I am missing something, the product description is wrong or the unit is faulty! Very disappointed.

Arrived today, super quick delivery thanks to Amazon for that. Easy to assemble and use, you’ll need a quick release system on your cycle as it’s to be swapped with the trainers version. 10 mins in & heart rate is up and just starting to sweat, so there’s no doubt you’ll be working out! It’s easy to attach and detach to your bike and there’s no weight bearing on the resistance roller like some other models, you adjust the roller to the wheel gently and it’s done. I recommend smoother/road tyres for quietness, the trainer isn’t too noisy so you can still hear your music or tv, it’s not perfect but what do you expect at this price point. Resistance is simply changing your gears and really makes a difference, I chose this ‘fluid’ model for the ultimate workout.Update: unfortunately the item started losing resistance, I checked everything with regards to my bike wheel against the resistance roller but to no avail, had to return it.

I would definitely recommend this.I wanted to get a bike trainier due to all the abd weather which was stopping me going out on the road. I have this set up in my garage, although due to the design it is quick and easy to dismount the bike from the trainer so you could use anywhere really.It took me about 10 mins to set it up and it comes with the tools needed to do that. You need to have a bike which has quick release rear wheel. It comes with a replacement spindle which then fits neatly into the locking system.It isn't quite the same a riding on the road but it is pretty good and you do get a someroad feel from the flywheel - I was surprised as how good it actually is only ever having used a basic exercise bike previously.It can be quite noisy depending on what tyres you use. I have tried it with a mountain bike which has chunky tyres and it is really noisy but I am using my hybrid bike most of the time which has thinner/slicker tyres and it the noise isn't too bad. I have my headphones in so it make no difference to me as as I am in the garadge the noise doesn't bother anyone else. If you are using in the house though you would want to use a road tyre to keep the noise level down.The system is really sturdy and I feel confident that it will not break and that the bike will stay fitted securely in the frame.

I absolutely love this thing. I bought it plus a training tyre. The only issue I had was knowing how much contact to have between the flywheel and my tyre but other buyers on here were amazing at helping me out. In summary you have curved tyre against curved flywheel, like )( and they need light contact sort of simulating what your wheel would have on the road. Once I was comfortable I had this aspect right and not too tight honestly there has been no looking back and I absolutely love my workouts on this thing. You adjust the resistance using your bike gears but for me for now I’m enjoying interval training on it mostly just changing up the speed. If like me your bike isn’t getting the use it deserves and you’re considering ways to exercise from home then I would definitely recommend this product.
