Magnetic Exercise 8 levels of Resistance Indoor Bicycle

Good entry level indoor trainer

It seems to be exactly what I need to get some practice in when the weather is bad or the game is on. Also my wife really enjoys it as well. For us it is a great beginner level intro into what seems to be some very expensive type indoor trainer with all the extras. This had all we needed and after about 10 minutes of putting it together we both were vying to take turns trying it out. It helps to have a bike with a rear quick release axle. That took me literally 20 seconds to switch out mine and I was ready to go. Overall I am very pleased with how much it cost and what it will provide for me. I say if you're looking to go on the cheap side this is a perfect starter trainer.

Cardio Workout Home

I received the BIke Lane Protrainer much sooner that estimated delivery; it was very easy to assemble, quiet when riding. This is an excellent product made of heavy materials, yet not too heavy to lift and move to another location. So thankful I can improve my cardiovascular health anyday of the week or time of the day; much better than going to the gym. Wonderful!!!!!!

Good product. It arrived on time. I am satisfied.

not allowing the butterfly nuts to get a good grip on the axle

Setup:Got this last week. It took me about 20 minutes assemble to set up the first time. Once I had the bike mounted I noticed I would need to use the metal axle which they included, as mine has plastic caps which look too weak to hold the weight. I replaced the axle within 5 minutes but then noticed the new axle was about about half an inch too long beyond the nut, not allowing the butterfly nuts to get a good grip on the axle. I cut the metal axle to length which took another 5 minutes and it seems to be working great now. The stand holds the bike in place firmly. Setting the bike on the trainer takes no longer than 2 minutes which I don't consider too much of a hassle.Thoughts:I'm happy I got it, quality seems to be good and it looks like it will last a good while. All tools and parts needed were included except the saw I used to cut the provided axle to length. The resistance mechanism is smooth and doesn't make much noise (the sound it makes is a low pitched whine). I would be comfortable riding it without worrying about the neighbors downstairs.There are a couple of things that would make it slightly better. First, it should include a locking mechanism to lock the legs in place when they are unfolded. Currently they they don't like to stay in place when mounting the bike and tend to slide toward each other together. Once the bike is mounted this isn't an issue, but it just makes the mounting process a little more annoying than it could be and it could be easily fixed with a locking mechanism. Secondly, even after setting the bike's gears and the trainer's settings to provide the most resistance, it doesn't seem to simulate more than about a 20 degree incline. It's fine for most purposes, but it won't be able to provide the full resistance you would find in a gym bike.

This trainer is very sturdy. Resistance levels are perfect for beginner

This trainer is very sturdy. Resistance levels are perfect for beginner. The trainer even worked om my wife's 650x23c tires.

This turned out to be a great purchase! I bought this for my husband

This turned out to be a great purchase! I bought this for my husband, and decided to get this one based on the reviews and I wasn't disappointed. He is very picky and I thought for sure we would be returning it for some reason. But he had it assembled and was riding it in 20 minutes.

Just what I wanted!

Simple to assemble and setup with my Giant Cypress. Love being able to ride and watch TV away from the heat and gnats. Unit is quiet and well made.

It worked out great for me and about $200 less than similar local deals.

Excellent product, Excellent price. Stable, simple and whisper quiet. I can only guess that other reviewers who complain about noise or instability, did not read and follow the simple instructions. If you have absolutely zero mechanical knowledge, you may want to get help assembling this, but if you can fix a flat tire on a bike, you should have the ability to assemble this even without instructions. Now if I could just get the motivation to use it every day!

Great product and fast delivery

It is a little loud but worth it. I do have a mountain bike with aggressive treads so I know why it is loud. Action is smooth and I keep the tension mechanism at the highest level and just use the bicycle gears for increased tension. Some reviews said it was difficult to put together. It took me all of 15 minutes to assemble so I think the other reviews were a little harsh. Great product and fast delivery.

Pretty good overall!

Pretty good quality for the $. Works pretty good with my bike and the resistance is formidable. Easy to assemble and operate. I recommend it.

He is happy with it

Bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas. It sustains him. He weights 250. So far I think it is quiet but it is hard to tell with mom bike tires on. He is happy with it. That is all that counts.

Easy to set up and folds up to a manageable ...

Easy to set up and folds up to a manageable size. My wife can easily lock the bike in and remove it.One drawback would be the gear changer that comes with it is hard to position so that it isn't in the way of the pedals. You will need relatively small handlebars in order to lock it on as well- Any normal road bike handlebars should be fine.

Excellent Alternative to Buying an Exercise Bike

This sucker is REALLY LOUD, but very effective. I can take my regular bicycle and bring it inside rather than buying an exercise bike. I like that you can adjust the resistance and fold up the trainer when not in use. I liked this so well that I bought a second one for my in-laws for the holidays, and they like it, too.

A great trainer for the price

The trainer was shipped quickly to my address and the installation was rather easy. The noise is a bit loud but not overwhelming. I would recommend this trainer for the comparable ease of use and cost.

Easy to setup and use

Great product, instructions may have lacked a bit but still relatively easy to put together. Mounted the bike and started riding and its fairly noisy but not as loud as units I've used in the past so that was nice. I'd recommend the product to a friend.

So far so good but it arrived late

The trainer works great so far. It was pretty simple to mount my bike to the trainer. I have found its not to noisy. I can hear my TV or radio over it just fine. When I initially reviewed the comments before my purchase they made me uneasy but I decided to try it anyways. I really like the resistance shifter because it easily mounts and unmounts from my handle bars.Some reviews say there is little to no resistance my conclusion to most of those reviews was that they didn't probably mount the bike properly to make contact with the tire or they were advanced bikers that needed more resistance.

Well worth it!

I love my trainer! Durable and easy to use! It was also very easy to assemble. I like that is pretty quiet and the price was good for the product.

im happy

im pretty much a novice rider (perhaps beginner rider, depending on who your are talking to) who used to ride several years ago, when i lived the city, but upon leaving my old bike and city behind, i kinda just stopped riding. where i live now is a little more difficult to ride around, as its in the sticks and the roads are hilly and everything is so far away.bought a new road bike about a year ago, but realized i really needed to get back in the groove of riding again, not to mention strengthen my legs for the hillier terrain, so the bike has pretty much sat for a year:( so i decided to look for a trainer to get reacquainted.ive had this trainer for a little over a week now, and really like it so far. i did some research and figured that it was very reasonably priced for a magnetic trainer and had the tension adjuster that i was looking for too. for me i think its perfect. im not a pro or nothing at riding so wasnt looking to spend upwards of 300 for a kinetic trainer.it shipped on time, with all its parts intact, was easy to assemble, and isnt as loud as i thought it was going to be based on some of the reviews. the tension adjustment is a little more subtle than i was expecting, but that aint really that big a deal with the handle bar shifters. the instructions were short and sweet; didnt really need anything more from them considering the easy assembly. id highly recommend this to anyone considering just trying to get some extra exercise, and has a bike sitting around not being used. its a lot nicer than buying a clunky stationary bike...the trainer is collapsible:) good buy, for sure!
