Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Trainers & Rollers
I'd thought of buying an exercise bike, but with 2 cycles in the shed this was a very practical alternative: especially as I am exceptionally tall and most exercise bikes do not have sufficient saddle adjustment. It folds neatly to mimimise space used when stored, and is very robustly built. In use it does not have a flywheel effect. It takes a bit of getting used to compared to road cycling, using the weaker of the settings as you build up cadence. On the stiffer settings you can really simulate hill climbs, especially if using stepins and blocks to push and pull. With my cycle computer transferred from front to rear wheel the trainer provides me with instantaneous and logged ride data to equal the most expensive exercise bike. Long term I'll probably get a hard tyre for a spare wheel as trainers do tend to wear the tread more quickly than road use.Read full review

Easy to assemble as it came already made, thus making it very easy to fit bike to. The instructions were easy to follow as you only have to fit a few parts together. However, the resistance on the wheel is very inconsistent (I.e it changes throughout the wheels rotation), this makes it very uncomfortable to use. The resistance dial also seems to be useless as it doesn't effect the redistance in the slightest. Even though the instructions for assembling the product for use where easy to follow, the inconsistent resistance makes it very uncomfortable to use. Therefore I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND PURCHASING THIS PRODUCT.

Bought this for strength building after knee injury. Arrived as told, good quality easy to assemble and fits my Trek. Magnet effort loading is a tad hit and miss but using the gears and applying slightly more pressure at the back wheel adjustment does the equivalent.

With so many variations of this type of thing available and price ranges that make you wonder what is wrong with the cheaper models, it was a bit of a leap of faith to buy this one when I was looking to resurrect my 1978 BSA Tour de France as an exercise bike (Reached that age)...However, if you are looking for a simple quality reliable turbo trainer, I don't think you need to spend anymore than this. This product gives the Ronseal guarantee.....does exactly what it says on the tin! (feeling the benefits after two weeks of early morning exercise - great product, but should come with a recommendation at least for padded shorts!)

Easy to fit to my wife's bike as there was no QR skewer, it simply clamps in place, adjustable resistance works fine and can be supplemented by using the bikes gears. My tyres are too knobbly to use with it but if you have reasonably smooth tyres it's great. Delivery was fast, good price and quality, can't really fault it.
