There is some disagreement as to whether or not this trainer is "loud" or "noisy". Since "too loud" and "very quiet" are subjective you can''t judge by someone else''s standards. So here is a video allowing you to decide for yourself. [I hope.]

This bicycle trainer will not disappoint you, especially for the price. Customer service is very reasonable to work with should you have any kind of issue. Once I set up my mountain bike to this machine, I was impressed at its strength considering its size. Also, as I am currently weighing at 200 lbs., the fact that it locks the bike in place and remains solid when adding my weight to it, I have come to trust this device without question. I''m glad I chose this machine during these very tight economic times.

I borrowed a friend''s $350.00 (lime green) Kinetic trainer before purchasing this one. The Kinetic trainer was indeed made of heavier duty materials and almost entirely constructed of metal. However, I still did not see an almost $300.00 dollar difference in price that I could justify. The stability of the two trainers seemed almost identical. This trainer actually has a feature that the Kinetic did not have with the remote handlebar tension control.

The trainer I received was slightly different from the photo on Amazon. Mine has two identical molded plastic handles like the handle of the right in the photo instead of the lever on the left side that is shown. This did not seem to affect the functionality of the trainer but I do wonder if the lever would have given it a quick release on the left side like the Kinetic. This is still not a three hundred dollar difference. Works great and I have already recommended it to a friend.

I am 6''3" and 295 pounds. I use a Specialized Sport Road Bike on this trainer and it has been working phenomenally for the last month or so since it arrived. To make mounting the bike easier I replaced the Specialized rear wheel quick-release that came on the bike with a basic one with rounded ends to seat the bike better on the trainer. The original quick release had the lever on the left side of the bike and it made mounting the bike tricky if you couldn''t figure out how to do it to keep the bike mounted. The bike has never fallen off, slipped during use, or experienced any problems whatsoever. As I said, I am almost 300 pounds and I use the trainer for my cardio workout indoors when I don''t have time to hit the road. Don''t waste your money on more expensive trainers if you are a recreational rider, this unit is perfect. Professional cyclists and the like may demand a hydraulic trainer or something of that sort. If you have a multi-speed bike you can simply mount it and adjust the tension to the hardest setting and simply shift gears as if riding outdoors to make riding easier or harder.

I weigh about 190lbs and have not had any securing problems on any of my 3 bikes. The stand is sturdy and tightens well. My only complaint is that even with my smooth road bike tires, the stand begins to vibrate quite loudly. I''ve tried to solve this by several things including adjusting the foot stands and placing the stand on a sound dampening mat however nothing is working. If you don''t mind turning up your music/tv it''s not really a problem. I just feel bad for the other people in my apt.

Other than that it''s a great starting trainer. While not everyone cares for the adjustable resistance I like being able to control resistance with both the stands setting as well as using various gears.
