Summary: Basically as advertised
Comment: This trainer arrives all put together which is nice -- just add a bike and you're off. It seems very stable although with the rear tire off the floor a good 3 inches it helps to also boost the front tire with a couple books or a large dictionary. I agree with previous reviewers that smooth tires make considerably less noise than knobbies. So far, the only shortcoming is the lack of adjustable resistance as it is very easy to reach the upper limit. Adjusting the rear brakes to rub slightly might be a solution.
Essentially, for a trainer that lets you pedal indoors this one is an easy choice, but the lack of adjustable resistance may have some cyclists looking elsewhere.

Summary: Exactly what I needed
Comment: I got a trainer because I don't seem to be able to ride when it's too hot or too cold so this was perfect. It does exactly what I needed it to do and the price was great. It's made well, easy to get your bike attached to it and it stays in place with absolutely no problems at all.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good but a bit noisy
Comment: This is great for rainy days and all but it's quite loud. You have to turn up the TV or headphones really loud to drown out the noise. It isn't bad if you live in a house but if you live in an apartment, your neighbors might not appreciate the volume of your television if you watch while training. Aside from that, it's great

Summary: Once again; Product=5,Amazon=1
Comment: The trainer is as advertised, and works great. Good unit for the money. Simple to set-up and use. I would certainly recommend getting a road-type tire for the rear of your bike if you are using with a mountain bike, as the vibration of the tire can get loud and be irritating after a while. But, I'm sure that's the case with any trainer.
The problem... ...AMAZON. When I clicked "THIS IS A GIFT", I assumed it would arrive in some sort of nondescript packaging. No, it arrived in it's box, proudly displayed on my porch where, upon arriving home from work, my wife gat an early birthday present. HELLO? AMAZON? Anyone home? Second order in as many months that had problems. Seriously considering shopping elsewhere from now on.

Summary: Not bad for the price
Comment: I bought this item so I could continue riding my bike through the tough Chicago winters. I had no idea it was going to be SO LOUD! I live in a condominium, and after the first day of using this product, I got a "not so friendly" visit from the people who live downstairs. Before long, I also got the same type of visit from several other neighbors. After about a week, this item went into storage. I probably should just sell it, because as long as I live in this condo, I won't be able to use it, because of the noise.
The item works well, it's just extremely loud. I suggest not getting it unless you live in a house. It makes it very difficult to listen to music while riding too.
