Update 10/10/2025:Well, it is still a nice workout, and I'm using it at least four times a week. However, the past two sessions of 30 and 45 minutes, I noticed a lot more noise, which I tracked down to the resistance section where the tension cable goes in/out. The vibration noise is coming from within that part. Hope it isn't going to break, but will have to wear hearing protection, as it is that problematic and I have tinnitus. I will say it has over 500 miles on it so far, but was not expecting this development.Original review below:The second time was the charm. Another brand I bought here on Amazon arrived damaged. This one arrived in perfect working condition with no damage. The resistance roller assembly is packaged separately within the box, perfectly shielded in thick Styrofoam to avoid any damage in transit. The shifter works great too, and the speeds on my bike work in conjunction with the trainer's roller to ramp up the resistance much more than I'll ever use.The large handle used to engage and hold the bike in the stand is a welcome addition for my arthritic hands. It is noisy when pedaling faster, but that is expected, I just watch TV and zone out the noise.Provides great cardio that will make you sweat while using it, so have a fan and water handy (this here on Amazon works great for handlebars to hold my Rtic 28 ounce tumbler: Delta Cycle & Home Bike Cup Holder Expanding Beverage Cup Holder for Bike Handlebar - Universal Bike Drink Holder, Stroller Cup Holder, or Walker Cup Holder - Tool-Free Installation), but I used a screwdriver to really clamp it down.My 26" Jamis Hudson Sport with quick release is rock solid in the trainer with no wobble. It's well worth the money IMHO.

As many reviews state, it is loud, but looking at other similar trainers, they all are loud so not much you can do about it except setup in an area that won't disturb others (I work out at 4:30 in the morning) and put in some headphones.The trainer itself is great. The multiple resistance levels allow for varied workouts and it's easy to shift. The trainer is also very easy to setup.The only downside is the handle bar grip that the resistance switch comes with. It could stand to be a bit wider for handle bars. If you take the rubber padding off then it's too loose, so I just zip tied mine on. Also it's beneficial to ziptie the cord that goes from the trainer to the switch so as not to trip or get it caught in the rear wheel.

This item is very sturdy, and easy to put together. The noise is kind of annoying, from the tire rubbing the back roller but I just turn the TV up while I ride.I don't use the tension control, as the mounting bracket didn't adjust enough to fit my handlebars, the bars are slightly wider than the gadget will expand to fit. I shift bike gears, as usual to work harder or put it into granny gear to work less.Overall, I like it. It's beneficial and cheaper than an exercise bike and subscription. Spring is almost here so I'll be back on the road soon. Good for indoor winter riding, for someone that doesn't like to ride when it's below 60 outside.

First confusing thing if you don't have a quick detach wheel, throw the quick release axle in the trash. First confusing thing, gone. Next, tried putting the handlebar selector on the handlebars. TIGHTLY. Tried tightening one half turn at a time so I could try tightening cam lobe on front side or other side. No amount of wiggling, twisting, torqueing would Latch it on correctly. I finally found a compromise of sorts and zip tied it on the rest of the way. Instead of trying to make something hi tech, cheaply, they should have given you a couple of different size shims and Just used a Bolt and Nut setup. IT would never stay on out on the road even for a second, but that is not what itis made for. Solidly holds the bike still and gives a very firm feel. Just like a stationary bike does. I leave the shifter in 6th gear and change the gears on my bike so that I dont have to fuss with the bike trainer shifter barely clamped on my bike. Hope the rest of It is more solidly built to last as I bought this with affirm financial. PPPPPPPP......SSSSSSS....... CAN anyone tell me how tight to tighten the resistor. I couldnt fine a place to ask a question on the ad. I have a nice smooth spot in the center of my tire tread. I slowly turn the wheel and tighten the resistor. I have a spot turning the tire where it doesnt touch like the rest of tire, slightly egg shaped. I lightly tighten till it touches there so I have contact all the way around. I'M getting rubber residue all over the floor and my bedding as its the only place I can ride in my trailer. MORE tight or MORE loose? Tire wont last long like this. Should I wear a mask, yuk, to not breath rubber particles? IF it wasnt 110 degrees out, I would be outside and not have this worry.NEW UPDATE! Bike and Stand ARE working 😁💪 great! Hasn't hurt the tire 🛞. I've applied more pressure because of the tire not being perfectly round. Grips MORE of the tire tread and hasn't hurt the tire at all. AND I've lost 6 pounds! Would gladly buy again!Happy Thanksgiving! November 22nd Update; Bike and stand both doing great! No tire wear with tightening the resistor firmly enough that it contacts the tire all the way around as my tire isn't perfectly round. I've lost 10 pounds riding this bike and set up! Ready for the holidays!

Easy to assemble and makes bike usable on bad weather days. You can control the speed and tension within easy reach. Very sturdy no tilting or wobbling

Would be great, but turned up without quick release skewer and front wheel block.

I got to try this unit out for the first time today and am happy to report that it ticks every box concerning its design, construction and operation. When I initially assembled the unit, (which is very straight forward) I had concerns regarding the apparent lack of resistance, even when the unit was set to maximum. I still had concerns when I initially tried sitting on my bike and pedalling. However, those concerns were quickly eliminated when I geared up my bike to a higher gear combo and was immediately met with moderate to extreme resistance, more than enough for my level of fitness. I am not an extreme cyclist, but I did ride over 1200 km. this year and I feel as guy in his 70s, this unit will give me the level of winter training that am looking for. The flywheel assembly seems well made and operates smoothly. As reported in other reviews, there is a significant noise level, which increases with virtual "speed". It doesn't bother me with earbuds in, just have to get used to it. I really like how easy it is to mount my bicycle onto the frame. It comes with a replacement 5mm hub spline which only takes a minute to replace my bike's original. There is a large clamping mechanism on the frame with makes mounting pretty effortless. I also appeciate how compact and space saving the design is. It can be folded down and stored in a closet, against a wall or in a corner. I am not sure if the plastic or rubber feet would mar a vinyl or laminate floor but I operate mine on a concrete basement floor for now. I would invest in a 2 x 3 foot floor mat to protect our floor from possible damage should I choose to move it. The magnetic friction controller has six settings and clamps onto the bike handlebar. The controller clamping mechanism is the only part that I feel is flimsy and cheaply made. Having said that, it works, which is all that really matters. It would also be nice if the assembly locked open to make mounting a little easier. Regardless, I am very happy with this unit for the price and would not hesitate to recommend one.

Tiene buena calidad de materiales y construccion, muy sencilla de instalar. Lo mejor es que tiene el cierre rapido para poner la bici. He puesto una bici mtb de 29 pero sinceramente no puedo decir si hace mucho ruido con rueda de tacos porque antes de comprarlo me informé y todo el mundo recomendaba usar rueda lisa y como podeis ver se la cambié antes de empezar a usarloy no hace nada de ruido, y la rueda que puesto cuesta 10 euros, es normalita.

Easy to assemble. Purchased a smoother back tyre which has reduced the noise the chunky mountain bike tyre produced.We have it indoors and it is easy to move around when needed and removing the bike from the stand is straightforward. Happy with the purchase and would be happy to recommend to anyone wanting a sturdy trainer at a budget price.

with winter on its way i thought i would try out an in door turbo trainer. following investigations there are clearly products which provide more with tablet apps to provide the visual element of a ride ...however price points are v highThis trainer provides a decent value for money option with 6 resistance levels - getting the right combination of bike gear setting and resistance level takes a a bit of trial and error but I have settled on a fixed gear and change the trainer resistance setting.I have this setup in the garage so noise is not a problem but have smooth road tyres and the noise level is fairly low.its obviously not as good as getting out on the road but you can still get a decent bit of excercise and work up a sweat.
