    Strengths:    Collapsible for storage, sturdy design.

    Weaknesses:    None.

    Bottom Line:   
    The CycleOps indoor training unit is quiet and works great. Slicks work best. Regular treads tend to "spit" out the back.

    Strengths:    Very little noise, portability, look

    Weaknesses:    Developed a knock / ticking noise, but was replaced... so, not really a weakness due to superior customer service

    Bottom Line:   
    Purchased this for Winter Sleet / Hail / Ice... hate using them, but this is about as good as it gets... nice a quiet. Recently it developed a 'ticking' noise inside the unit... the entire unit was replaced when I returned it for a service. Awesome product, awesome after sales service... thanks Matt @ cycleways and Cycleops

    Strengths:    Easy to use and set up.

    Weaknesses:    None.

    Bottom Line:   
    My original Cycleops Fluid 2 developed a vibration after years of hard use.
    Saris gave excellent warranty advise, looking for solutions, and when none worked, they did not hesitate to send a replacement unit free of charge.
    The new unit has a winter's use and works perfectly well with no vibration. Years ago I bought a second one for my son and his has remained problem free.

    Strengths:    True road resistance, solid frame and excelent build quality

    Weaknesses:    True road resistance, wheel clamping mechanism seems a little cumbersome and somewhat loose.

    Bottom Line:   
    Replaced my aging magnetic trainer with this model to teach a spin class with. What a world of difference. High quality and progressive resistence make for a HARD workout. Great machine, but the clamping mechanism for the wheel could be a little better

    Strengths:    Silent

    Weaknesses:    Resistance does not simulate actual road workout. My stats just went beyond my actual road average on this trainer.

    Bottom Line:   
    I agree with a previous review that this may not be the trainer for a high wattage cyclist as the resistance forces to spin the biggest chain ring and the smallest cogs.
