I do not think so! Frame bent when tightening resistance wheel

I have never used the device. The frame buckled/changed shape as I tightened the brake wheel on the rear tire. According to the instructions, you have to turn the yellow knob (which presses the brake wheel against the rear wheel) until it clicks. Well, it never "clicked"! As I turned the knob and waited for a click, I suspected something was wrong. When I removed the grip and resistance assembly, I found that the frame and L-bar (which attaches the block to the tire) had bent/deformed! I didn't

I don't feel my legs when I'm with you but I love it!

After I moved from Colorado my poor road bike felt abandoned. I've seen CycleOps before, but finally decided to take a chance and buy one for myself. I was intrigued by the premise of using VR apps like Rouvy and Zwift to simulate indoor riding and I have to say it was definitely worth it. This thing can simulate both gentle hills and incredibly difficult climbs without breaking a sweat (but of course I will!). The trainer itself was very easy to assemble and feels very solid. I've ridden it…

Works fine but DO NOT click tensioner

I recently purchased this machine and have driven it about 50 miles. I can confirm that it works as expected and I find it to be a well balanced and relatively heavy device. I can't compare it to competing devices like the Wahoo Kickr Snap that I tried to find for the same price, but Wahoo products are sold out everywhere. Cock the device with the yellow button. I realized that if I turned the knob until it loosened (clicked) it would DEFINITELY be too tight and would damage my tire or wheel…
