Blackburn improves its renowned mag trainer with a redesigned frame and mag unit. The Over-The-Top frame is oversized for greater stability, and the new mag unit features five evenly-spaced resistance levels for a more consistent workout. Machined aluminum flywheel keeps your revs high. Auto Stop limits torque on the axle cones and prevents over-tightening. Accepts any road or mountain wheel. Does not include track block.
Strengths: sturdy construction of the stand itself
Weaknesses: cheap mechanism
Bottom Line:
While the trainer is well constructed as a whole. The actual mechanism became extremely noisy after only a few hundred miles of use. Tried numerous ways to quiet it down, with no luck. It's not a bad trainer if you wear headphones or listen to really loud music while riding. I doubt I would buy another one.
