Now you have the bike securely upright withthe rear wheel free. Because of the clevercompass pivot, you can pop the bike in the trainer and have the rearwheel clear of the roller. I love thefact that I can just concentrate on the job at hand - cycling - and notworry about resistance levers and the chance of the cable catching inthe pedals - i can keep my hands on the bars and ride just like i do onthe road! The unit is very sturdy indeed but not so rigid that it givesa false and dead riding experience that other more rigid trainers cangive.The fluid unit doesnt seem to get very hot after reasonable amount of use and when you're out of the saddle giving it the beans in a small gear simulating a hill climb the quality of the build, welds and paint job very nice indeed - easily matching products much higher up the price scale.but on to the hidden 'uses' of this product. This is very unlike other trainers andmeans there is NO fiddly tuning or adjustment needed - EVER!!The elastogel roller is very good as well - almost no tyre wear andkeeps cool in use unlike some of the bear metal types used on others.shifting up through the gears gives a very road-like feel and theresistance curve is very subtle and realistic in my opinion. I’d been a customer of Wiggle for years, but hadn’t bought anything heavily bike related from them. As I said, being a relative cycling novice, at least to all the myriad gear you can buy, I had no firm idea who I should buy from or what I should buy. I persisted for about 2 months of 3 weekly training sessions or so, just to confirm my level of deafness,and decided enough was enough and to take the plunge into the market for a new trainer. You’ll be glad to read it was a yes to both the above.After much deliberation (over a beer), I discovered the source of the noise was the trainer I’d borrowed. Thereupon, a distinct harpy-like cacophony of whirring and screeching made me check first A) the wheels were still on my bike, and B) that my legs were still attached to my hips. I’ve a history of competitive sports Rugby, Karate, boxing and I’m a ex-schoolboy international Cross country runner, but I’ve never really cycled apart from the 5 miles or so back and fore to work every day (does that count?) So, with a Triathlon in mind circa 2010, I borrowed a 11 year old Turbo trainer from a friend, cleared some space in my garage, pegged on my rusting 18 speed road bike and off I wentfor about 15 minutes.

It is not realy quiet but would not disturb someone in another room, although you would need your tv to be quite loud to hear above the whirring.I have not noticed significant wear on rear tyre but am monitoring and will change my tires when the weather impoves anyway.In summary, the Elite Crono Fluid ElastoGel Trainer is well put together simple to use and gives a worthwhile workout.Īnd when I say novice, I mean it feels like it’s only in the last couple of years I’ve removed the stabilisers off my bike.
It is boring so you do need a TV or radio. I use 2 o 3 times a week for 45 min bursts. I opted for the Elite Traing matt and Front wheel block as well, as it was being set up in my kitchen, and am delighted with my set up.The ride is quite good, it is not really like being on the road, but you can get decent resistance and speed, and a good workout.
I was worried how much I would use it once the novelty had worn off,and therefore did not want to commit a huge amount of money just in case.On looking at many trainers it seemed that the general consensus was that fluid trainers were better in terms of the ride being more 'road like'.It was easy to set up, is rugged, very stable, and looks good.
