I think my trainer is also a Cyclops Fluid...black and yellow logo...anyway...

It's noisy as hell. The one that I got isn't the "swaying" one. Not sure if that aspect is worthwhile when you consider the need (or not) for a training block. Aside from those aspects, it folds into a corner well and lives there most of the time.

I second the recommend to buy one used. Make sure that it comes with, or that you buy a STEEL skewer (if you need one). Do not use the AL one that came with your wheels.

I had "good intentions" on buying mine. I meant to use it. I don't. Exactly why I suggest going used, because I certainly am not the only one and mine could likely be had for about half price with barely a few hours on it.


One other aspect as an aside. Mine is a total PITA to tighten onto a skewer for anything other than a road bike, and even then requires quite a bit of strength that I no longer have due to injuries. With mine I have a pipe that I use with in order to turn that lever back and forth.
