SportneerBike Trainer - Magnetic Stationary Bike Stand for 26-28" & 700C Wheels - Adjustable 6 Level Resistance Bike Trainer Stand for Indoor Riding with Quick Release Lever & Front Wheel Riser Block

most of the made-in-China products I've bought since whenever have been shoddily constructed and worked poorly if at all. Not this item: built like a brick, EZ to set up, and a pleasure to to use. No more outdoor bike rides for me....no more attacks by loose yard dogs, no more breathing deisel fumes from passing trucks. Now I ride gazing out a picture window at my backyard and listening to great music.

Edit 03/16/2023: Their customer support and assistance is by far the best I have experienced! After a few more emails about the previous replacement unit they had shipped (see original review below), their support representative went way above anything I had expected and replaced the entire unit. The replacement is brand-new and works the way it should, quiet and smooth. Here's a company that really stand behind their product and is willing to work with a customer to make things right if given the chance. I certainly would purchase from them again.----------------------------------------------------Original review:Purchased this stand to get some exercise while the winter weather is too ugly to go outside. Never owned one before so I went for the less expensive unit. Works fine, easy set-up, easy to use, nothing fancy.Problem came up about 2 to 3 months (approx 400 miles) later. Thing got really noisy, not just the expected tire noise. It started whining with a really noisy rumble that turned into loud scream as things got worse. Cranking the pedals by hand to observe, I also noticed the resistance wheel was wobbly and just screaming along even at low RPM. Not cool after 3 months of use. So, very disappointed there.Contacted the seller by email and was very surprised to actually hear back from them within 24 hrs! A couple of emails back and forth to give them details they wanted and they sent out a replacement. Surprised again. Opened the box and noticed the unit had some wear marks on the aluminum roller. Hm. Used unit.Swapped out the old screamer with the replacement unit and it was quiet. Nice. I figured I let them know I wasn't too happy about getting a used one and the customer service rep got back within 24 hrs again and we figured things out. Let's see how long this one lasts.My opinion: The stand is ok for the price, nothing fancy, pretty basic. Quality is lacking, considering the resistance wheel (most likely bearings) died after 400 miles in less than 3 months. So, not too thrilled about the quality. Maybe 2 stars for that.Customer support: Now that's a very pleasant surprise and not what one would expect from any company. Not only a response within 24 hrs but actually making an effort to make things right. For that I would rate 5 stars.All in all - 4 stars, mainly because of their customer support.Would I buy another one from them if I were to look for another stand? No, not that particular model. But I would consider another model from them just for the customer support.

The box arrived in good condition and no parts were missing. The assembly instructions aren't great but aren't bad, and there's very little assembly so not a big deal. When I first mounted my mountain bike and started riding I was shocked by how loud it was. I'm not sure I would have continued using the trainer at that volume. Also, the action felt a little jerky to me at first, but it was the first time on any bike trainer for me so anything was going to be a step down from road riding. The next day I ordered a slick tire (26" WTB ThickSlick Comp tire) and OMG what a difference - the volume dropped by at least 70%. I also got used to the feel of the resistance and the pedaling became smoother for me. To get a good 30-minute workout I have to put my bike in the highest gear and fluctuate the resistance dial between the top 3 settings (4-6). I'm a 57 year-old moderate athlete, so someone in really good shape might not be as happy with this trainer. The jury is still out regarding durability and tire wear, but so far so good.

Easy to set up yeah it’s not electronic and yeah, it’s kind of loud depending on your tires but, it’s easy to set up and gets the job done and so I’m pleased with the purchase.

Works like a charm and pretty quiet. The noise level depends on your bike tire.

this is a good little system for riding your bike in your garage on a rainy day. It assembles easily. your bike clips in via the rear wheel. the front wheel sits in a little wheel holder. And once you get it in, if you leave it there as I did for most of the winter, and used it every day, it works great.The problem occurs when you repeatedly try to get the thing in and out of the rear holder. It is a pain! it is very hard to sit the bike axle and line it up properly and get it clamped in. Often you think it’s in, you sit on it and it falls to the side.furthermore, if you have a 10 speed bike, there is a very sensitive arm holding the gears just below this locking mechanism. And if it’s not locked in just properly or if you fumble with it while you’re trying to lock it in, you will rip that arm off the bike or weaken it.Long story short, great for inside use of a bike if it’s gonna be for a prolonged period of time. Not great if you plan on clipping and unclipping this bike several times a week depending on the weather.For that, there’s a better product out there that is easier and safer for your bike and you.
