The adjustable resistance is the “Plus” in the name here – and they do offer a non-adjustable fluid trainer as well. Once warmed up – any internal slippage disappeared. I did notice that until the fluid warms up to a steady operating temperature, the resistance could be slightly uneven at times but only in the opening minutes on a session. Next to you, the resistance unit is the heart of this trainer, and while I’m not going to explain the full dynamics of how the internals work, I can tell you they did what I expected – delivering constant, controlled, and adjustable resistance through every session. Once the clamping arm is locked in place, it’s not moving until you say it is. The last few years I’ve run a variety of trainers, including the CompuTrainer, CycleOps PowerBeams, and Blackburn’s TrakStand Ultra, but his was my first time on a real ‘fluid’ trainer – the kind that uses a viscous fluid to create resistance while you’re pedaling. Again, it’s easy-peasy, and the unit clamps in with enough force that I never noticed the bike moving around within the clamps.įinally, attach the shift lever to you bars with the quick release clamp and you’re pretty much set to get training. Then you place the bike into position, and clamp it into place with by locking down the big lever on the drive side of the trainer.
