I just got mine today from Amazon. Quick delivery. It works great but my god is it noisey. I went through review after review on Amazon and i swear the people saying it's quiet must be fake reviewers. Idk. Anyways i do love it!!! Really works great. I have it set up in my garage. I'll just listen to music while using it. Love your video though. It helped me set it up properly. My bike skewer was on the wrong side for this so i had to switch it over and your vid showed me the proper way. Thx again!
Glad you found the video helpful. As for noise, a lot of it depends on the tire you use. You can always get a trainer specific tire if you have a road bike. But if you have a wider tire, you will hear more noise from the tire.
Thank you a million times. This is probably the best video on RU-vid, maybe even in the entire world for someone just getting into cycling and had questions on an indoor trainer. 👌
I bought this trainer from Amazon, cant really complain about it for a non smart trainer. I would suggest a trainer tire though, ate through my regular tire pretty quickly.
@@maryalycemanners1186 I think this is what it is now called. Sportneer Bike Trainer Stand Steel Bicycle Exercise Magnetic Stand with Noise Reduction Wheel
Same on mine. Did the trainer tire do any better? I figure it's the heat from the magnetic device to the roller that resulted the fast wear in my regular tire.
I have the sportneer fluid trainer, I've had this one for almost 3 years. I use it a LOT. This is a great piece of training equipment. Just take care of it. It'll last forever. Mine is not noisy at all. It's actually pretty quiet.
Does it come with a front tire brace for the floor? Also, will this work with cruiser bikes & mountain bikes… would the cruiser tires be better on this trainer?
I bought a cheap cruiser bike at walmart, would this work ok with it? I am not looking to do any races or anything big at all. I just want to be able to use it in the colder weather. Thank you for this review, it really helped so much!
You need to tighten the knob until it touches the wheel. Then add two to three more turns. You know you have the right tension if you grab the wheel with one hand and spin it real quick. It shouldn’t slip.
I have a single speed bike and no room or money to spend on a road bike as of now. Would a single speed work with this setup for swift? I mean I just wanna have some fun and burn some calories. curious to hear your thoughts.
I have a quarq power meter on my bike. What is my best classic or fluid trainer to get onto zwift ? I can't buy a smart trainer right now so was wondering how I could use the quarq power meter with a budget trainer . Thanx
I hope people do not go with the reviews on Amazon or other websites. Like this Sportneer has only C grade more than half of reviews has been adjusted or removed to make look product better.
Hard to tell without knowing the specifics about the bike itself. I would reach out to Sportneer for bike compatibility questions and they should be able to check measurements and rear hub type.
