Here is another great YouTube video on setting up a CycleOps trainer.  Most trainers are very similar in the setup so this will go a long way to helping you get that right. Enjoy.

This trainer falls under the fluid category of indoor trainers. The trainers is relatively easy to set up. Customer support is great should you need to call about anything. Cycling resistance varies automatically based on the cycling wheel speed thus needing no control unit.  This progressive resistance makes for a hard workout and is great for intervals and long spins.  The trainer itself is very quiet.
