trainer amazon prime day.PNG

Ok, so if you're Mark Cavendish this might be a little lightweight... but for the rest of us who want a wheel-on trainer that's simple to assemble for aerobic training, the Unisky Fluid trainer looks like a bargain... we've certainly never seen a fluid trainer priced this low!

> 15 of the best turbo trainers

A fluid trainer uses fluid resistance to make the workout harder the tougher you pedal, so in theory there's no wattage limit. A dual locking system keeps your bike securely in place, and an aluminium roller should provide a relatively realistic experience while allowing you to get plenty of life out of your trainer tyre. Most 700c rim braked road bikes and 26-29" mountain bikes will fit, and you also get a riser block thrown in to steady and level things at the front. Add a cheap speed/cadence sensor and you're set up on Zwift for a fraction over 100 quid! 

Be quick, this is a lightening deal that ends at 9.35pm!

Anna has been hooked on bikes ever since her youthful beginnings at Hillingdon Cycle Circuit. As an avid road and track racer, she reached the heady heights of a ProCyclingStats profile before leaving for university. Having now completed an MA in Multimedia Journalism, she’s hoping to add some (more successful) results. Although her greatest wish is for the broader acceptance of wearing funky cycling socks over the top of leg warmers.

Where do you draw the line? 95% of mainstream bikes and cycling gear are made in factories in the far east where people are paid pittances and safety is a word that adds extra costs if implemented. Probably most of the electronics are similar judging by the suicides at the chip manuafacturing plants of Apple devices. 

Even if you go with a UK bike builder, where did the steel/ alu tubing and other parts come from? What were the factory conditions like?

Reynolds are still in Birmingham, though I don't know what the supply chain is like.
