 Great beginner, June 21, 2010

This is my first trainer to own and I have enjoyed it. I would have given it five stars but I think it could have more resistance settings. I have it on the most resistance and it does not feel very resistant, though I can definitely tell a difference between the least and most resistant settings. Despite that I had no trouble putting it together even though the included instructions were poorly put together. I recommend this trainer for beginning cyclist as I am one. If you are looking for a top quality trainer I would look at the higher priced ones.

 Not Bad, March 15, 2010

For the price this wasn't bad.
I experienced a few minor frustrations. The assembly pictures weren't really clear, but putting it together was fairly self explanatory so I could live despite that.
The only real issue came when I went to mount my bike. I have a Mongoose Mountain bike, and this is most definitely set up for a street bike.
if you don't have a quick release latch on your rear tire you may need to purchase one. the one that is supplied is extremely small if you have a mountain bike (Mine requires almost a 1/4 inch shaft the one supplied is considerably less than that)
However I was able to improvise by tightening the bracket on to my lugs and it works fine.
Is rather loud, but I attribute that to my knobby tired more-so than the unit itself, which when I tested it was very quiet
All said and told a good purchase, just wish they had supplied more information (such as the latch) before purchasing so i could have been better prepared.

It put new life into my old road bike, February 16, 2010
|

I have had this trainer for just under 2 months and am fairly happy with my purchase. I knew going in, that I wasn't going to get a Cadillac (or BMW) for a hundred bucks, but it does a good job of helping me keep in shape during the cold winter months. To give you some kind of idea as to my normal work out level, I generally ride out doors about 2,000 miles per year. With my retired 20+ year old Fuji Palisade mounted in this trainer at high resistance, and top gear on the bike, I can get a full cardio workout.
I used the free shipping option, and received the package a few days earlier than originally expected. Assembly was completed in a 10-15 min time frame, using the instructions included in the box. I didn't need to use the included skewer replacement, as the stock quick release axle on my Fuji fit fine. The paint finish looks great, and the only thing I might have added would be a quick release between the bike tire and the resistance unit so I don't have to re-adjust the tension each time I ride. NOTE: You do not want to leave the tire locked in when you are not riding in order to prevent the tire from denting. Noise is not an issue for me. Sure it make some noise, but it is not so loud that I can't listen to my MP3 player, and the more I ride, the less I notice it.
One final note, if you are going to buy this or any other trainer you really should consider a stabilizer for the front wheel.

Outback Indoor Bike Trainer Review, February 1, 2010
|
|
Was missing assembly parts but Customer service was very helpful in getting parts out in 3-5 business days. Went together very easily. Runs well with good resistance. Not silent but not by any means really loud. Seems like a sturdy unit, will see how it holds up.
