Review on ๐Ÿป Enhance your Indoor Cycling with BalanceFrom Bike Trainer Stand with Magnetic Resistance and Riser Block - Black by Randy Holt

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible design and build quality, missing parts

Item was well packaged, no external signs of damage, process assembly went good with no major issues. The plastic construction isn't impressive and I have concerns about heat dissipation due to the solid flat rotor that doesn't create any noticeable airflow. The disappointment started when we put the bike on it and realized it wasn't just making a very uncomfortable Noise inside the mechanism but the resistance adjustment didn't work at all missing completely and on top of that the threads (6mm?) on the shaft appear to be left hand which means the replacement bolts are a specialty item not available at hardware stores The ones for the Connection to the flywheel available Available length was fairly short, only 2mm, and the flat on the shaft was fairly shallow, so I'm not sure it will be able to handle heavy loads when functional. The single little magnet doesn't inspire much confidence either, and I didn't expect it to evoke much resistance. Unfortunately I will never know. Don't waste your time and money on this. If you're already spending $100, choose something better and save yourself the risk of running into this problem. Now I know why they offer a free exercise mat in exchange for good reviews on this product.

Pros
  • Wide compatibility: bike scale, training stand Fits any road or mountain bike with 26-28" or 700C wheel
Cons
  • Everything is fine
