Rolling, but with great difficulty

Whether this roll was on carpet or hard floor, the rolling resistance was high. The screws were properly tightened, the tape was properly installed, and when you rolled the roll with your hands, everything was fine. The problem is when you increase your weight and get on the bike. This should mimic the feel of the road and help you with balance. I don't know, maybe it's because it's plastic and not metal, but the rotation was uneven and made me fall over. I could run for 15 minutes, but then…

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • high price

It's scary at first, but the game is changing!

Love this reel! Using one for the first time ever. After I picked it up. I tried. I was immediately sweaty for fear of vomiting. I've fallen a dozen times. After 30 minutes I figured out how to drive without falling. Focus on what's in front of you. Don't look at your feet. Do not grip the steering wheel too tightly or lean forward too much. Just focus on smooth pedaling. Don't think too much. Your body will repair everything naturally. Also, I only started cycling a month ago. So I don't have…

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Line is shorter than other picks

Great trainer, best in the sport

I bought this as an alternative to my Kinetic Rock n' Roll on wheels (which I also bought from Revain). I bought a return item and saved over $50. It was packed in the original box with all the necessary parts. The manual doesn't say that, but you should adjust the length of the frame so that the front roller axis is about 2 cm in front of the axis of your front wheel; This is to prevent the bike from rolling forward off the front roller. This is my first trainer and definitely a new learning…

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Something different

Not an easy task, but worth it

As many reviews say, it's difficult to say the least. I can only do about 10 minutes at a time, but it's a useful 10 minutes. I've had them for a few days now and ride them every day and still have a 10 minute ride ahead of me without holding on to anything. Luckily I have a squat rack that fits perfectly in between. I've found that taking the bar and lining it up with an imaginary path on the ground and then focusing on the opposite end helps a lot. I can go on like this for about a minute…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • No achievement

Good product and fun to ride

I'm moving from Boston (where I bike every day) to Austin (where motorists and summer heat sometimes make cycling difficult) and am now a grad student with an sedentary lifestyle I soon found even a lump on a log. I had CycleOps Hydros for skiing a few years ago when Boston was covered in snow and they bored me to tears. To get back in shape I ordered one of these and after a week and a half of riding I have to say I love it. The requirement to balance and rotate smoothly makes the workout more

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Hard to say

2nd order in the collection. To work.

Arrived in a box that was obviously already opened. used product. All screws were missing and only washers and tape were present. Cannot be picked up. Delivery was delayed (although this is a separate issue with Revain Prime). Return of the goods in unusable condition / impossibility of assembly the next day. Repeat order to replace the same item. I will update the rating. maybe just a defective item. If they send me another used product I will assume it is a stock item and they will try to…

  • A sea of positive emotions
