Exercise Bike Trainer - Indoor Bicycle Training Stand With Quiet 5-Level Magnetic Resistance and Front Wheel Riser Block by Bike Lane

Really quick and easy setup, comes basically complete and all that's needed is attaching the resistance roller bit which takes a single bolt. Then just have to use the included quick release axel onto your bike and you're pretty much ready to attach the bike and ride.I wanted to point out based on other reviews is, unless you have slick tires on your bike with no tread it'll likely be noisy for you just like how a knobby truck tire create a lot of road noise.That being said, with ThickSlick tires on the experience was very quiet for me with the loudest noise being my bikes chain. Since you can adjust how much the resistance roller is pushed up against the bike tire, wheel slip isn't really an issue.If any issues start to come up I will update my review accordingly but for now I would definitely recommend this to someone who's looking to get some home exercise, especially during the summer heat.

Unlike some of the previous reviews, everything I needed was included in the box. Along with the little instruction booklet, there was also a sheet that said "2015 & 2016 Assembly Instructions" that made putting this thing together a breeze.Attaching my bike to the trainer was also pretty easy. I replaced my bike's axle with the one provided and then set the bike on the stand. This part of the job would be easiest with another person there to help, but I managed to get it attached with no major problems. Make sure you get the bike centered in the stand. You can easily adjust both axle tightening knobs at the same time, so centering the bike is pretty easy. When you get it where it needs to be, make sure everything is good and tight and slide the lock set nuts into place. I noticed a few reviewers complained that their bike came off the stand causing them to fall. I wasn't there, but I'm going to assume that either the bike wasn't secured tightly enough or perhaps the lock set nuts weren't in place and the axle tightening knobs worked their way loose. In any case, mine sits very solidly in the stand with no wobble at all. Besides the bike being nice and secure, the stand itself is very square and also doesn't wobble.The most difficult part of the whole process for me was adjusting the roller so it made the right amount of contact with the back tire. Having read some reviews about how the tires got hot or started to get shaved, I wanted to make sure that I set it up right. Basically, I tightened the adjusting knob just until the roller made contact with the tire. Then I slowly rotated the tire, paying attention to any slippage. If the tire slipped, I tightened the adjusting knob a little bit and starting rotating the tire again. After maybe three or four complete spins of the tire it seemed like I had contact all the way around. Then I got on the bike and started peddling slowly. I noticed a little bit of slippage, so I got off the bike, tightened the adjusting knob slightly, and got back on. After about three times getting on and off the bike to make adjustments, I think I have it dialed in. After a nice long ride the tire doesn't feel warm at all and there isn't any rubber dust on the floor.Some users complained about how loud this unit is, and that isn't my experience at all. It does make some noise, but it's nowhere close to what some people made it out to be. It definitely didn't drown out the tv or bother my wife, who does her own exercises while I'm on the bike. If you're looking for absolute complete silence, I don't think you're going to find that in any device outside of your own imagination. This thing is plenty quiet for me.As happy as I am with this product, I do have one complaint. The screw that allows you to attach the resistance adjuster to your bike and tighten it is way too soft. In fact, mine came pre-stripped from the factory. So instead of being mounted firmly to the handlebar, my resistance adjuster is basically just sitting there, leaning back and resting on the brake cable. When I want to adjust the resistance, I have to use two hands; one to hold the adjuster in place and the other to turn the adjustment knob. It's kind of a pain but not a deal-breaker. I'd probably deduct .5 stars from my overall rating, so call it 4.5 instead of 5 stars.All in all, I'm very happy with this stand. It's solid, reasonably quiet, and allows me to get ready for the long summer rides while there's still snow on the ground.

Great product., exactly what i wanted and ordered

I have an old mongoose cross bike. I'm 57 and this is an absolute life changer. 21 gears on my bike and I can still use them all. Set to preferred tension and, Bam! I am biking on my own terms! Getting my knees back in shape along with the rest of me. Super easy set up. DO IT!

Do NOT buy this bike trainer. You probably came across this since you were looking for a budget indoor bike trainer that you could put some mileage on - as did I go. Within the first ride the plastic by the screw that holds the rotating metal cylinder of the trainer broke, the metal got really hot as it spun, and started burning the rubber of my tire. Absolutely terrible. Please just spend a little more on a quality trainer so you don't have to get stuck in a situation like me.

I didn't think it would be noisy. Louder faster you pedal

This is a solid piece of equipment at an affordable price.

Is this one of the best purchase I have ever made? yep. Why? this thing I very strongly made, relatively easy to put together (we got lost a few times, and some of that was OUR fault!, but EASILY rectified), and FOR THE PRICE...actually how can anything this study, and which works SO well (4wk after knee replacement)....I just off the bike, and I am one happy camper! congrats
