Kinetic Trainer Tire Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My experience is similar to the other reviewers. I fought and fought trying to mount this tire. Two tire levers were broken in the process. Then, after the bleeding subsided on my hands, I decided to put my bike in the trainer and ride. Surprise! The tube was pinched and sprung a leak. It took me another 45 minutes to unmount the tire. After changing the tube, I tried to re mount the tire. My hands started bleeding again. I broke my remaining tire lever. At this point, I swore this tire was created by sinister people who take solace in watching people suffer. I'm also writing a letter to Kenda in an attempt to get my money back.

Continental Ultra Sport Hometrainer Tire Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I spend more time on my CompuTrainer than I care to admit and so far the Continental Hometrainer Tire is the best option that I've found. The tire is quieter and has a better road feel than regular road tires. The tire also leave less tire debris scattered across the room and lasts much, much longer than regular road tires and other trainer tires, such as the Vittoria Home Trainer.
Caveat:
It might be a fluke, but my last Continental Hometrainer was the first time that I've used the black version and it was nearly impossible to mount on the rim. I've probably gone through 6 sets of the yellow version and, although difficult to mount, they were not nearly as hard to mount as the last black version. I'll still give it 5 stars because I won't have to worry about mounting a new tire until sometime next year.

Blackburn Trak Block II Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The block does a good job of securing the front wheel and providing a stable platform. However, it's not tall enough to level the road bike I've used hooked up to a Blackburn trainer. The only way to get a comfortable riding position is to stack a good thick phone directory underneath the stabilizer ... the older style, really thick and wide phone books work best.

Vittoria Zaffiro 700x25c Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These tires came stock on my bike. I added Mr Tuffy liners to them and have never had a flat. I have over 2000 miles on these tires from one summer's worth of riding. I am going to replace the tires only because they have worn enough to throw off my bike computer by a few percentage points on speed and distance. The tires still have rubber on them, though. For the price, I don't think you can beat this tire.

CycleOps Riser Block for Indoor Bicycle Trainers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Strangely, I ordered the riser block, but received the climbing block in the mail. Not that it matters, same price, same overall function. This product does exactly what it claims, and honestly, I don't think the CycleOps trainer can be used comfortably without it. If your front wheel isn't propped up on something, you'll be in an oddly downward facing position at all times, which I can't imagine would be desirable. One complaint would be that the different slots for the tire aren't marked or numbered in any way to let you know which setting you've used, so I feel like everytime I set up the trainer, I need to spin the block around and sit the bike in it, then look at the angle the bike is at, then reposition if necessary. It's just molded plastic, is it too difficult to have a little number 1, 2 and 3 set into it somewhere? Sort of annoying, but aside from that, the block is good. It even helps keep the bike upright while you're playing around properly securing the back wheel to the trainer.
