Worth the extra money!

I have only done about 3 sessions on this machine so far but I am very happy with my purchase. Solid construction and very quiet operation.

Pros
  • ON WHEEL: Attaches to the rear wheel of the bike, no need to remove the wheel or disassemble the bike.
Cons
  • I will add later

Resistance is adjusted using the knob on the side of the resistance block and is not adjustable while riding. My road bike has a wide range of gears, so I just set the resistance unit to an average of "2" or "3" and switch gears on the bike for a harder or lighter workout. If you use a single…
