 Quiet- Solid - Great buyJul 24, 2007
By Fit & Fun
I shopped until my head hurt...fluid? magnetic? tire or rim? etc. I opted for this rim drive, and I'm thankful I made the right choice the first time. I bought the "dial" versus remote version - your gears are the best resistance adjustment you can have! My set-up is a Trek 820 - Even though this rim driven unit doesn't care what tires you have, I changed the stock knobbies to Kenda Kross Plus Front/Rear Slick XC Tire, 26 x 1.95" (road bike manners w/ trail edges). Popping your bike in and out of the unit is a snap.
Anyway, this thing is solid to the core. Whisper quiet (not having owned a tire-drive unit, I can't compare, but this thing is zero sound). I have 4 months of heavy use on it, and I couldn't be happier. Price was right also - I think from "GreenMountain" for about $132. Save the $20 for a CycleOps block (that I bought)- this unit only raises the rear wheel about 2" above the front - just get a cheap small riser or fashion your own.
Haven't selected a new bike computer yet - looking for a good wireless unit that can handle the extra distance to the rear wheel (most max at 24" and require the back of unit face the wheel with the magnet).
Bottom line = I was looking for a compliment and occasional alternative to my home treadmill and dumbells - without dropping $700+ for a bulky, single purposed bike machine - this was exactly what I needed, and it reintroduced me to an old friend - my bike!

Excellent TrainerOct 22, 2007
By Paul W. Sauer
My wife and I each own a mountain bike. A year ago we bought a standard tire-drive trainer - 1) it required changing out the standard knobby tire for a bald tire, and 2) it is still LOUD. A few weeks ago I bought the Minoura 850 rim-drive trainer - 1) it is quiet, and 2) there's no need to change to a bald tire. Also, as opposed to my original tire-drive trainer, the bike doesn't rock side to side, as more force is exerted, when using the rim-drive trainer. The rim-drive Minoura provides plenty of resistance for a solid workout, and it takes, literally, less than 10 seconds to pop my bike out of or in to the setup. That is the entire idea: to be able to use the bicycle as a stationary bike when the weather is bad or it is too dark to ride safely, but to be able to go biking outside whenever possible. And, the price is extremely competitive. I went to a couple of bike shops before deciding to go with the rim-drive - in short, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

 It worksDec 17, 2007
By James D. Dennis Jr.

It does what it is supposed to do. Sets up quickly and disengages quickly.
Just put a towel or something under the bike while using indoors. It WILL shed some chain oil while working.

Love thisMar 19, 2008
By Maritza Marte
Watch a DVD, or watch the news, or simply listen to some music while you ride your bike. This was a great purchase, a good investment. Best of all is that you will have 2 bikes instead if one.
Stable!Jan 17, 2008

This product assembled pretty easily, all the parts that I needed were included as well. I have very weak knees, so I was worried about mounting and dismounting before I first used it. However, I can say that this stand is very stable and I feel very safe getting on and off my bike. the only draw back is that the resistance between the lowest level and the highest level is not very significant. I get most of my resistance from the gears on my own bike.
