I haven't had a ride that I didn't get off the bike with some amount of sweat.Ĥ.
So the holders are quite safe all on their own. However, I've ridden 1:40 minutes without the safety locks in place and never felt a budge. The holders for your back tire also come with safety locks (screw locks that you screw in to keep the holder from shifting and releasing your bike mid-ride). The front ground bar is extended to keep the frame and you from tilting and it does a great job.
The frame of the trainer is quite steady. As long as your bike has a 700c or 26" wheel, the trainer is ready to rock 'n roll.Ģ. It's that simple no quirky settings or adjustments. Place the resistance bar in contact with the tire. Screw the other lock setting in to lock the rear wheel in place. Screw one side in until the bike tire is lined up with the resistance bar. Place the rear wheel of your bike inbetween the lock settings. Without including tax and shipping, I thought $30 was a great deal.ġ. Online, I've found the Blackburn Trakstand Mag 3 Trainer retailing for $99.99 and the Track Block II for $14. The trainer also came with Blackburn's Track Block II which elevates and stabilizes the front wheel. The trainer was originally purchased by consumer reports for a review, then purchased by one of their employees for his personal use, and finally I bought it from him. I purchased this one on craigslist for $30. Given that my finances are rather limited, I quickly ruled out purchasing a new retail trainer. With plenty of work to do on the bike, I thought a trainer would be extremely useful.
Custom-designed workouts available in any room or area of your choosing in the basement, your living room, at your kid's soccer game, etc. It seems that some of the greatest cyclists are on their trainers for 95% of their training. I had also read a few articles while researching various trainers concerning their overall benefit. I began looking for a trainer because I figured having one in my own apartment would give me less of an excuse to avoid cycling. It was too cold to go outdoors with my bike and the stationary bikes at the gym just weren't suiting me. I was running quite often, swimming multiple times a week, but slacking on cycling which is most likely my weak point in triathlons at the moment. I purchased the Blackburn Trakstand Mag 3 Trainer a couple months ago because I felt my training lacked in cycling. I need to let you know a bit about why and where I purchased the trainer.
