Unboxing the 1UP USA Bike Trainer

1Up USA Trainer Review
It’s cold here in Saint Louis. I’ve been back in the gym using the Star Trac elliptical trainer and the recumbent bike but I can’t stand riding on the spinning bikes they have there. So I thought I’d buy myself a stationary trainer for my road bike.
Indoor trainers all use some sort of device attached to a roller to provide resistance against the bike’s drive wheel. Wind trainers, for example, use a fan to create progressive resistance. They tend to be noisy and once the fan passes a certain RPM the resistance curve flattens out. Fluid trainers, on the other hand, use a propeller encased inside a fluid chamber to create resistance.
