Track trainer review

I tried multiple trainers for my track bike.
such as....
-Kinetic road machine
pro - resistance feels natural compare to Minoura FG540
- high resistance
- easy to purchase used
con - tire dusts are everywhere(red trainer tire)
- damages your bolt
- heavy

-Lemond Revolution
pro - it feels like you are on the road
- perfect for standing start(Shane is using this trainer now)
con - LOUD crazy loud
- heavy
- expensive and hard to find one

​​​​​​-Minoura FG540(picture provided)
pro- light and portable
​​​​​​ - if you use Ratchet strap, you won’t have any problems with standing start
- quiet compare to other trainers
- easy to adjust resistance(number of resistance = 7)
con - doesn’t feel natural
​​​​​​
-Hand made roller that Korean Keirin Racer use
pro - huge drums
con - hard to get

In my personal opinion, all of them are perfect for sprinters.
