4 out of 5 stars Great for an apartment   November 10, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Overall, its size is definitely a plus for an apartment. Also, it's very quiet, though not silent (I can watch TV without having to up the volume). It's is also heavy-duty but easy to move when I'm done with it. The resistance settings seem adequate, too.

It is a pain to adjust the height each time you set it up for a different bike or rim/tire size, but doesn't need to be readjusted if you use it again with the previous bike. Also, I don't find myself using the remote much because once I set the trainer resistance, I use the gears to fine tune the overall resistance as I am using it. I probably would have saved the money and got the one without the remote.

In all, I would recommend this trainer.



5 out of 5 stars I like it. It works great.   November 10, 2008

I like this thing. It is super quiet. The folks that complain about the noise probably don't realize that mountian bike tires are really noisy indoors and out. They probably don't ride places that are as quiet as their homes. I have a Bianchi Brava road bike. The adjustment thingy really is not necessary, the speeds on your bike should suffice. It to simulate different riding conditions takes practice and getting to learn how to set it. Buy one and ride this thing, it'll give you boner legs.

Bought this on Ebay for about $90 - almost brand new.

Unit is sturdy. Not whisper quiet as the fluid trainers are, but all trainers make noise, so it's just a matter of degree. Can adjust difficulty level easily without changing gears.

Can spin for as long as you want without over heating. With proper adjustment, very little tire wear.

Unless you are a pro, this trainer is all you'll ever need.

I purchased this product last year and still use it. It has been trouble-free and is great for helping me keep in shape. Winters are long here in Ohio, so I just hook up my bike and pedal away. Easy to install....I love it!
