 Does what it claims, but bigger than expected, August 14, 2006
By ARmazon

Strangely, I ordered the riser block, but received the climbing block in the mail. Not that it matters, same price, same overall function. This product does exactly what it claims, and honestly, I don't think the CycleOps trainer can be used comfortably without it. If your front wheel isn't propped up on something, you'll be in an oddly downward facing position at all times, which I can't imagine would be desirable. One complaint would be that the different slots for the tire aren't marked or numbered in any way to let you know which setting you've used, so I feel like everytime I set up the trainer, I need to spin the block around and sit the bike in it, then look at the angle the bike is at, then reposition if necessary. It's just molded plastic, is it too difficult to have a little number 1, 2 and 3 set into it somewhere? Sort of annoying, but aside from that, the block is good. It even helps keep the bike upright while you're playing around properly securing the back wheel to the trainer.

 Excellent Product, February 23, 2006
By Kathy Harrison (Oklahoma)

This is a great accessory to use with my Mag Trainer. It has different levels for training. Even thou I use mine mainly because I have bad knees and riding helps keep the pain out and my knees from getting stiff. This product was a good investment.

 Pathetic, March 9, 2006
By Carlos E. Varona (FPO, AE United States)

I ordered the Ascent Adjustable Magnetic Trainer and the Cyclops Riser block simultaneously. Not only did I receive the flywheel of the magnetic trainer in shattered pieces, but I've yet to receive the Cyclops Riser. Numerous emails have yielded nothing but the same song and dance...It's on backorder. Order was placed 45 days ago.
Businesses like these should stay away from the prestigious avenue that Amazon affords. Amazon should only allow itself to sponsor Front Running businesses and not sponsor "less than serious" merchants.

Good product, but no labels, December 28, 2007
By SLB (Texas)
|
|
This product does indeed do what it is supposed to do. It was definitely larger than I expected, but it makes no real difference. And indeed, they could have placed some numbers or something to indicate the angle increments, which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I'll give it high points for durability, though.

Not The Pictured Item, November 3, 2009
By jam3 (Lewisville, NC)
|
|
You will not receive the pictured item that is no longer available but will receive the newer, larger, stackable climbing block. Probably will not matter to you - it did to me because I'm a triker and wanted to match an existing block for my third wheel. BikeSomewhere refunded the purchase price but I was still out the shipping. If you want a climbing block order the one listed through Amazon that has free shipping.

Riser Blocks aren't for everyone, but this is pretty stable and relatively inexpensive.

Does what it was intended to do..., July 14, 2007
By Labluvr (Mississippi Gulf Coast)

Item exactly as described. Not much to say about a large piece of plastic, but it does raise the front of the bike to the required level as advertised.

 basic, August 30, 2007
By atc_sarah (CO, USA)

Upon receiving this product I was slightly disapointed to find that the levels on all 3 rivots are the same (or really really slight difference). It works thought

OK product, January 27, 2010
By D. Jones (Washington DC)
|
|
This riser block has three levels that you can put your front tire in. The highest level makes the bike about level when sitting in my Cycleops Fluid 2 trainer, so the other two level are useless for long rides in the trainer because you are facing down in the front with too much pressure going on your arms, wrists and shoulders.
Before I used this riser, I used a automobile ramp that was for driving my car onto to change the oil. This ramp offered much more variation in angles for the bike but would not hold the wheel snug as this riser does. This riser is also portable, as the automobile ramp is not.
Ok product, just wish it was constructed to raise the front wheel farther than it does.

This works great. The minimum height is about 2" which is a little higher than what I expected. Provides nice stability.

CycleOps, May 7, 2011
By roccof13 (USA)
|
|
The riser block is solidly built, but does not offer much difference in heights/positions between locations. When I select the lowest (deepest) channel the bike is still above paralell in front.
