very very light, stiff, great amounts of resistance, silent(when using slicks) very smooth

stiff resistance tuner( no need to use it, just change gears for diffrent resistances)

great trainer only good stuff to say about it, just make sure you use slicks with it or it will be very noisy and will chew up your tires very quickly. I got mine used off ebay for good price, i reccomend doing the same.

Great price for an off season trainer. Very stable and easy set-up. If your in the market, this is one to seriously consider getting.

Over the past winter, I've watched a TV in my garage, fan on, drinks laid out and settle down to 1-2 hrs of endurance base with this machine. It's that quiet (with road tyres) that you don't need to turn the volume up that much.

And come spring, it's stiff enough to handle intervals and sprint work too. For those that commute a lot and don't arrive back home 'til dark, this is a great machine to work on.
In fact, for the budding racer, it's such a great trainer that you risk overtraining and burning out!! Highly recommended.

This trainer is very easy to setup and mount a bike,

am fussy, paint finish and not enough usefull resistance settings

I bought this trainer after breaking my arm in a cycling accident, i read through many reviews and found this cheap (ish) on Ebay.

It was easy to setup, and i could manage it with having only one hand to actually position the bike

I was a little dissapointed that only the really highest setting was any good for me to perform a 30-60 minute workout, but it is smooth, quiet and nice to use

The only other gripe is the quality of the paint finish, it is not exactly brilliant

Overall a good easy to use trainer, and after 8 weeks since the accident i was going to sell it but it will definately keep for those super cold days. This trainer would go well with a heart rate monitor to track how well you are performing

I have the 850 Aluminium model, which might not be the same as the one pictured.

Great trainer, stable, bar adjustment is good. It takes my interval training fine.

None, good equipment. I think a set of rollers would be nice though as they are faster to set up.

Good trainer, would replace with the same if anything went wrong with it. Trainers are still super boring to use though, only really useful if you're really into fitness or racing ... which I am from time to time.

This is a great trainer for winter training. It's also easy to carry to races and esp. for warming up at the start of a DH race. Lightest trainer on the market I think. I love mine.

Rugged, 5 minute set-up, ultra quiet, great looking. Folds up for storage.

Put that old unused bike to work on rainy & snowy days! This trainer is "sweet" and X-tremely well made. Best bang for your Trainer buck. I have this in my living room for riding in front of the TV (might as well do something positive!).

Easy set-up, out of the box and riding within 15 minutes. Quiet, set it up in my basement and I can watch a DVD or listen to MP3 player without turning it up. Also it does not disturb the family upstairs, unlike the treadmill!

Not sure the remote is needed. I set the resistance to mid-level and leave as I use the gears to +/- resistance.

This review is for a Minoura HyperMag 1200R LW Magnetic Trainer w/Remote which I got on sale from Greenfish, 149.99 plus free shipping. It was shipped the same day it was ordered. Set-up was easy, just added the adapter for the smaller 1.2 slick and used the supplied skewer. Gives me the workout I desire. I am not a racer nor training for a specific event, I use it for a cardio workout since I can't run due to joint pain. I would highly recommend it.
