I'm planning to train indoors this winter. Not so much for racing, just to keep my weight down and stay toned for next season. Two questions come to mind.
1. What trainer should I buy magnetic, fluid or the combination of both?
Has anyone used the Performance Fluid Plus trainer? Any recommendations?
2.Which bike? My primary rider now is a Trek 5000 road bike. I also have a Trek 7200 hybrid that sees limited use. Does it really make much of a difference what you train on? I was planning on using the 7200 with the trainer. The riding position is so much different. I was just wondering if I'm going to train the same muscles used when riding the roadbike.
I really don't want to beat up the 5000 on the trainer. My wife was a little less than enthusiastic when I said I might want to buy another roadbike to train on and use as a backup. I just bought the 5000 last month.
What do you think
Thanks
