Ask a Mechanic: Understanding Wind, Magnetic, and Fluid Trainers

[@amarijordan2097]

This was soooo helpful and concise, thank you!!!!

If you have a family and your trainer is within ear shot of bedrooms, family room or the kitchen, having a quiet trainer is really nice. A quiet trainer is also nice if you watch videos or movies while on the trainer. You don't have to turn it up so loud.

So is fluid resistance quieter than magnetic resistance? The magnetic one has no parts in contact with any other parts, so you'd think it would be the quietest of them all!?

Can you go over types of road bike seat posts and benefits, what to pick? Or Stems?

Hi Zach. Check out this video about stems: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6rUYnWwa5msfpY. This video briefly touches on kzbin.info/www/bejne/movUe3d7lMuXf7s. Thanks!

What about those roller trainers

[@artscyclery875]

Thanks Johnny, rollers are a great option. In addition to the usual benefits of a stationary trainer workout they work your core and improve your balance. Many cyclists find rollers hard to master and are more comfortable with the solid support of the trainers shown here.
