Review on F2 MAG Trainer By Forza by Tony Wilson

I am writing this review after using this bike for two weeks. I bought it along with the $8 Sunlite Forza bike rack to keep the front wheels straight and flush with the raised rear wheel. It's just a piece of plastic, but it does the job. The resulting color was exactly as pictured, a cheerful white and yellow/orange with SUNLITE written on the machine frame. The exercise bike was easy to set up even with the standard instructions. Tools are not required. You basically unfold the frame (fold it for storage), take your bike and replace the rear wheel quick release arm/bar with the silver one that comes with the trainer (it fits my bike's regular quick release arms, but I have it anyway). exchanged). test with it). same result). If your rear tire does not have a quick release lever, you can purchase an adapter separately. Then align both sides of the bike's quick-release handlebar with the bike's wishbone and hand-tighten as far as possible. Do the same with the rear knob on the brake roller and tighten until it is snug against the tire. It took about 15 minutes to set up and the bike felt very safe and ready to ride. IMPORTANT: Studded tires cause additional noise and vibration on all exercise bikes. If you have a good smooth road tire, this unit is quiet. I have a mountain bike with studded tires so it's not quiet at the moment. It makes a constant humming buzzing noise against the roller, after a while you learn to turn off the noise, but it's enough to wake someone up if they're within 50ft. Using a headset while driving or watching TV blocks out noise and if I had to compare the noise level to something I'd say it's a handheld mixer on low settings. If you need a quiet trainer, grab a slick spare tire. Giving 5 stars because it was easy to set up and a great winter fat workout. I'm not deducting a star for the noise as it can be fixed by changing the tires. I would buy this stationary trainer again and recommend it to other friends who rarely commute 2-25 miles a day. If you're a hardcore biker who needs a more intense workout, consider bike roller skates instead, which also require you to practice your balance (and practice falling off your bike at your house). :)
