Turbo trainer

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

Any recommendations for a good indoor turbo trainer?

I managed to get fitter the other year by spinning etc but my own trainer is lousy, it's noisy & doesn't feel anything like real riding.
I am after a trainer that will accommodate 26" to 700c wheels, is quiet & gives a realistic load rather than a simple brake type resistance that stops the wheel dead as soon as the pedalling effort is reduced.

I'd rather be in the hills but distance & time is prohibitive.

Any advice welcome, cheers.

If I worked this hard on a bike I would fall off...indoor training has the advantage that you can push harder and concentrate on pedalling technique and spend killer time out of the saddle. Learn how to place your but on the saddle to activate your hamstrings for those times the quads have just given up.
