You said any bike fits The skewer fits through every bike? And you need that I assume. Also you say need a bald tire what if you don’t use the fly wheel and just change gears won’t it still put more effort
Thanks for the tutorial but what if my back wheel has.a lever to remove the wheel and I can’t get the bike into the slots? Am I supposed to remove the lever and use the skewer that comes with it ?
Excellent review. I decided to buy the Sportneer ($79) because it (based on your and other's reviews) seem to meet my needs a little better (plus it was a bargain). Your review was extremely well thought out, well organized and detailed, providing me with the information I needed to know from a knowledgable source. Thanks!
This is one of the most detailed videos on the IM kettlebell! Many exist on the adjustable dumbbells but not as much on the kettlebell. Thank you for taking your time to explain the change and seeing them live in action. Debating between IM kettlebells and dumbbells or FAST Pepin series kettlebells and dumbbells. Do you think the speed of changing the plates from dumbbell to kettlebell would demotivate you to skip exercises ever?
Im getting ready to order to invis for my Nukeproof so had to see some vids on it and came across you!! And a neighbor "Pittsburgher"🤟🏻👊🏻 Thank You for the video & Great job 👍🏻 Do you still ride??? I ride frick park a lot.
We tackled assembling the bike as a family project. ru-vid.comUgkxzg0clhbtRf2gGxPkVETFKJJKGqdsorQu The package is heavy, but I have 2 teen boys that were able to move it. The written instructions were great- we didn't need to watch the videos, but it was good knowing that the option was there if we needed it. After we were able to get it set up, the boys each rode 3 miles and I rode 8 and the bike stayed quiet. The display is easy to reset, and you can put it on whichever setting you are using (time, distance, calories, etc). I will say that my butt is a little sore from the seat, but that could be because I haven't rode in a while. While it is comfortable for me, it was not comfortable with the seat position for my friend (could not move the seat back far enough and he slightly looked like a kid riding a tricycle that he had outgrown). He also said that the seat hurt his manly parts. We are going to look for a different seat that will be compatible with this bike for him.I did purchase the Wahoo Cadence sensor and strapped it to the crank of one of the pedals. This will sync with my Apple Watch, iPhone and will import data in to my Health app. Wahoo does have other sensors available other than cadence. I can also keep either my phone or my iPad on the display and they both feel pretty secure.
Arrived as expected with all parts intact, also included two hex keys for assembly. ru-vid.comUgkxwOUUBdw8-88Iu4QnQS7q6b2NwZkHiYVl Had to adjust mine slightly to fit my bike, this was easy enough with instructions. I bought it to train with my track bike and found it to have resistance similar to climbing a slight gradient. Takes a while to learn to balance but there is plenty of guidance to help on the internet. Edit: There was more resistance at lower speeds because of the number of contact points but at higher speeds it is much easier as you don’t have to contend with drag.
I found a used unit in quite good shape but need to know if it will fit my 1971 Schwinn Road Bike. The axle length is ok but the 5/8 nuts look pretty fat. The guy is bringing it over so we can check. Great video. Have you seen any Speedo and timers that can fit on the handle bars for riding data. Dennis
um my back tires dont have those metal "nubs" to mount to. There are no protruding buts to mount, mine looks to have allen wrench nut that is flush with the carbon fiber body. so nothing to mount?
I have to know, Evil or 5010? I have a 2017 5010 with F140/R130 but trying to find something I could get a bit faster on for some simple local XC racing and not lose the fun for trail riding. The 5010 has been a good bike for me but curious if the E Following would make things a bit quicker. Curious your thoughts comparing the 2 bikes.
Awesome review, but yikes, $89!! I saw in the Amazon reviews that someone paid $379. I thought I was getting a good deal at the current going price of $299. However, now that they have raised the price over 200%, I think I'll pass. 😅✌️
How do the plates feel against the forearm? Do the weight plates have rounded edges or are they a little sharp? Curious as to how it feels while doing snatches/cleans
Why does my thread nut keep working its way loose enough for the roller to slip? I tighten it and its fine again but I can't get it tight enough to stop it slipping loose... Any clues how to fix this? Thanks
Outstanding video! This answered many questions that I had & eased my concerns about setup & noise & the tips you provided were very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to do this!
Thanks Don, excellent review, at that price the Sportneer is a perfect option to take away to my family for the festive holidays, while the rest of the family snooze, I will be able to replicate a spin class in the garage, thanks again, happy holidays.
the sound actually mostly came from the tier of the mountain bike. Change the tire to smooth surface type, you will find it is quite quiet and ok to be used in door of apartment. I just did that, the sound is much much lower.
Hi Dom. I just watched your video. Well presented . Interesting. Still in the box, is my Sportneer Fluid bike trainer stand I received through online yesterday . I have a Schwinn electric bike and just realized there is a round motor attached to back wheel . I wonder if I should even unpack this now. Let’s see - the motor would make horizontal distance about 10” including tire etc. Any advise😬
The part that has me the most curious is this: Let's say on a magnetic resistance one you set it to "4". You're in the third from highest gear. You keep the magnetic resistance set at "4". You now shift to your highest gear. You keep your cadence exactly the same. What exactly happens now? Is it harder to pedal? The same? The flywheel on the trainer would be going faster, there's that, but what does that feel like? How does this situation feel different on a fluid one?
