Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I shopped until my head hurt...fluid? magnetic? tire or rim? etc. I opted for this rim drive, and I'm thankful I made the right choice the first time. I bought the "dial" versus remote version - your gears are the best resistance adjustment you can have! My set-up is a Trek 820 - Even though this rim driven unit doesn't care what tires you have, I changed the stock knobbies to Kenda Kross Plus Front/Rear Slick XC Tire, 26 x 1.95" (road bike manners w/ trail edges). Popping your bike in and out of the unit is a snap.
Anyway, this thing is solid to the core. Whisper quiet (not having owned a tire-drive unit, I can't compare, but this thing is zero sound). I have 4 months of heavy use on it, and I couldn't be happier. Price was right also - I think from "GreenMountain" for about $132. Save the $20 for a CycleOps block (that I bought)- this unit only raises the rear wheel about 2" above the front - just get a cheap small riser or fashion your own.
Haven't selected a new bike computer yet - looking for a good wireless unit that can handle the extra distance to the rear wheel (most max at 24" and require the back of unit face the wheel with the magnet).
Bottom line = I was looking for a compliment and occasional alternative to my home treadmill and dumbells - without dropping $700+ for a bulky, single purposed bike machine - this was exactly what I needed, and it reintroduced me to an old friend - my bike!
