from Sparks, NV Date Reviewed: September 20, 2010 Strengths: It has been a great product for many years. It keeps me in decent shape during the winter months here. Weaknesses: It could use more resistance! I use it for intervals, 30 seconds all out, 1 1/2 minute rest, then 30 again. I do this for 20 minutes. You should ride so fast in the 30 seconds that you feel like you can't make it to 30 seconds. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Canoe Hill Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $160.00 Purchased At: Online Similar Products Used: None Bike Setup: Gary Fisher Sugar 3+

from HW Date Reviewed: October 11, 2007 Strengths: Easy set up, didn't wear the rear tire, quiet. Weaknesses: The belt, pullies and internals wore down after two winters of heavy use. I put about a thousand miles a winter on it and now it squeaks when it is being used because the belt is slipping around the pullies....like the belt on a car engine when it squeaks. Got some good miles out of it but it seems to decrease in resistance over time and use. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $130.00 Purchased At: on-line Similar Products Used: Bought the 1050 flywheel for me and 850 for my wife. I am usinghers right now until I decide whether to rebuild mine or get something else. Bike Setup: Felt

from El Paso, TX Date Reviewed: July 10, 2007 Strengths: Not expensive. Works as good as expected. Weaknesses: If the bicycle is not properly mounted can be noisy (easily fixed by re mounting the bike). It cannot be used for slow cadence high resistance, but does good job for any other cadence/resistance combination (slow, medium, high). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $130.00 Purchased At: nashbar.com Bike Setup: Specialized FSR XC

from Singapore Date Reviewed: July 1, 2004 Strengths: It has a very sturdy construction and the setting up and adjustment is very intuitive. The fit is very firm and secure and the range of resistance provided by the different modes is just right. Weaknesses: What I dislike is that this product doesn't come with a front wheel platform so as to balance the elevation in the rear wheel when the bike is attached to the system. Another gripe is that my rim squeaks when attached to the system and I'm cycling. It could be just that my rim's oily and dirty, yet after I did a thorough clean-up the sound persisted. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $134.00 Purchased At: Seng Chu Hin Similar Products Used: None, this is my first. Bike Setup: 2003 Scott Aspen, no changes except for SPDs
