Strengths: Could be used as a pretty good boat anchorWeaknesses: Quality, construction, design, price... need I say more.Bottom Line: I spent a long miserable winter using this trainer and can't wait to get rid of it. The tension knob broke within about one month of buying it I used some epoxy to override the "autostop" mechanism, but this lasted only for about two months. The longer and harder you ride this thing, the more it makes all sorts of horrible noises. In addition, I'm forced to place a small book under the left side of the trainer to make the bicycle riding position level. In the engineering world, I think this trainer would be termed a "P.O.S.".

Strengths: None
`Weaknesses: Every thing. Don't ever buy one of these. Not worth $1.Bottom Line: I purchased this product 1.5 years ago. The first unit was worked fine for about 2 days. After that when I trained on it it sounded like a semi-truck running on one piston. I sent it back and it again worked for about 4 days and the same problem. I makes so much noise that you can't even think. I did not want to keep paying for shipping cost to send it back so I dealt with the noise. I don't use it any more.Ä

Strengths: Price, maybe.Weaknesses: Auto-Stop, maybeBottom Line: Avoid this trainer! The auto-stop mechanism is faulty and if you're
careful, you might fiind your bike locked in without release. I went
to the Cycle-Ops Fluid2.
