Hi Im thinking of buying an exercise bike and was wondering
what the difference between magnetic and flywheel are? I assume its all to do with the way the resistance is applied to the pedals. Generally speaking, if there is not a lot of difference between them, which one is quieter? (more wife friendly) BoB |

(more wife friendly) Mag trainers are very quiet, reliable and relatively inexpensive. |

No comparison, mag-resistance is by far better. Besides, if
it's a nice bike it will be powered when you pedal. bob wrote: > Hi Im thinking of buying an exercise bike and was > wondering what the difference between magnetic and > flywheel are?
