User Reviews
Great product- instructions were a little misleading. It said I needed to replace a piece of my bike with what they provided in order to attach the bike to the trainer.I Couldn't figure out how to do it so i took it took a bike shop and they said it couldn't be done, by my bike would hook it just fine as is-and it did!! Really love the product and get a great work out from it. I have a moutain bike and it works awesome. -- perfect for my moutain bike
Overall very pleased with purchase. Arrived quickly, easy to assemble. For the value, it's definately a great quality item. Solid construction and you don't need to be concerned about it sweaking or feeling unstable. It's every bit as sturdy as the high quality fitness machines you would find at a gym. And it's compact and doesn't take up any room.
My only problem (but I think this could be even more of a problem with other units), is that the feel is just not like pavement. The resistance feels differently than pavement because gravity is impossible to recreate. But I imagine that is the problem with all of these triners. Even the most expensive ones probably can't simulate the real thing. So this one is great quality, and gets the job done.
-- great value, solid construction
This is a pretty good trainer for the money it costs. It does make some noise, but its not unbearable: the TV is still audible.
It was somewhat difficult to set up: make sure your back tire is tight against the roller - if it is slipping at all it will wear down in no time.
Even so, it does seem to wear down my back tire pretty fast, so I am thinking of getting a wheel with a Continental tire made for trainers.
I got the model with the remote, but have not really used it. The remote is hard to set up (both on the magnet and on the bike), and it keeps falling off. -- Pretty good trainer
It is very simple to put together and mounting your bike is even easier. This would be perfect for a person looking for a light workout, but it does not provide enough resistence for a serious bike rider. The tension adjustments are barely noticable. I should have opted for the more expensive, but more refined fluid trainer. Don't make the same mistake. -- No much resistence
A little noisy but with headphones you can hardly tell. I have really enjoyed this trainer. It's easy to set up/take down, it provides a great work out and it's small enough to store in out small apartment. Over all a great purchase. It even arrived before the expected shippment date! -- Awesome
