Blackburn Fluid Advanced Level Trainer

When you're sitting on the couch in your favorite fleece pajama pants trying to talk yourself into kitting up and knocking out those indoor intervals your coach prescribed, having an easy to set up trainer can make all the difference in the world. The Blackburn Fluid Advanced Level Trainer steps in as one of the most easily adjustable trainers out there. With no setup required, it's ready to rock right out of the box with a relatively quiet fluid resistance curve to power all those mid winter workouts.

You're on your own to wipe up all the sweat though. The Fluid Advanced Level Trainer is compatible with 26in, 650c, 700c, and 29in wheels to accommodate a wide range of bicycles and let you choose the bike that best fits your w...
