  This bike trainer is no cheap piece of equipment. It is well built and looks like it will last. It is very noisy on knobby tires. I changed my tires to some slicks and the noise was down drastically. Set up was very easy. Just unfold and you are done. This is my first bike trainer so I cannot really compare to other expensive trainers out there. No regrets on this purchase.

  This trainer is sturdy and straight-forward to setup. I suggest that you use the supplied axle/skewer if you don’t want to visually damage the one on your bike. My axle had a black anodized aluminum lever that would soon be scratched up in the cast aluminum LH side axle holder. The RH side axle holder tends to “munch up” the plastic cap that covers the axle nut — the 4 plastic ribs on my cap will eventually get smashed flat when adjsting the RH axle holder in. Note that these comments may apply to any trainer, not just the model being rated.

  The trainer’s frame rigidity could be better, but maybe I just tend to over-tighten the adjusters. The more you tighten the adjusters, the more the frame is spread apart as it clamps the axle in the bike. This is somewhat minimized when the supplied axle/skewer is used since there is no piece of plastic on the nut side to compress.

  The lack of a quick adjuster lever would be a hindrance for those who want to frequently install/remove th

  First off, I’m a full-time dad (not an everyday biker)with a new born under six months. Any kind of cardio exercise on my own time right now away from home is practically impossible. So I bought this based on two motives: inexpensive and practical.

  I believe the price speaks for itself. Right out of the box, this trainer is practically ready to go. Just had to tighten two bolts on the trainer to my bike’s rear axle and that was it.

  The ride is actually very smooth and the noise factor for my budget is bearable. The construction of the trainer feels sturdy and well built. I would be surprised if I didn’t get a hundred or more hours out of this.

  Also want to say, very impressed with Amazon’s delivery service. Ordered my trainer yesterday with next day delivery service and within 24 hours it was at my doorstep just as promised.

  This trainer is great. I have a basic trek mountain fat tire bike and it fits perfectly on the trainer. I was all ready to buy a real spinning cycle but decided to try this instead mostly due to space in my studio apt.I love spinning and I was having a hard time justifying two bikes in my small apt. I will address some of the points made by other posters:

  The noise factor: yes,noisy but not THAT bad. I use to have a treadmill and that was noisy as well. If I spin during odd hours, I use the IPOD. Otherwise I blare my stereo. You can get the music loud enough to drown the noise out. I never got complaints from any neighbors when I had the treadmill. Its only 30-45 minutes anyway. If you are doing more than that, its not necessary anyway (speaking as a certified trainer).I suppose you could purchase the road tire to eliminate noise, but I just don’t think its worth it. Also, If I want to take a quick ride outside, I would have to change my tire. Changing a tire for this trainer is not
