really? wow, I figured that was a great price for a fluid trainer. I got my kinetic for $125, and it’s in great condition. Thanks for bursting my bubble, I thought I’d done well. I almost, for a second, thought I could join the ELITE ranks. It’s ok, Tim, my mommy never approved of me either. Rule #5 little baby boy is what she always told me, rule #5
No, I think he’s saying that the CycleOps for $135 isn’t that great of a deal. But your Kurt Kinetic, which actually is the gold standard in fluid trainers, for $125 is an excellent deal. All fluid trainers leak eventually, EXCEPT the Kurt Kinetic. Eventually the heat gets to the seals and the oil leaks out. But the Kurt uses a magnetic impeller to drive a sealed fluid resistance unit…this way it is impossible for it to leak.
