Review on ๐Ÿšด Saris CycleOps Fluid2 Indoor Bike Trainer - Enhanced Compatibility with Zwift App, Ideal for Road and Mountain Bikes by Justin Zilinskas

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It would be possible to use more resistance, but you can do without it.

Bought for those cool and windy days when driving on the road is too tiring. I'm 75 years old and have a 40mm x 700mm cyclocross/gravel profile with small lugs. These tires howl quite a bit at speed when I'm training, that's 75 pedal strokes per minute in 2nd high gear (52t chainring and 13t cassette), which would equate to about 16 mph on the road. It is not conceivable to use this trainer with a lower geared mountain bike as the fluid resistance would be too low. I wish there was a way to increase the resistance as I could pedal at my training heart rate for hours. Not sure if this will work for 29" tires as my 700mm was difficult to fit. Although they might work. This device comes with a skewer, although the web advert does not state that a skewer is included. , but it's annoying, and spring is just around the corner! Hooray! Robust construction. Looks solid. Nice packaging.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Low maintenance
