 Smooth and Quiet May 11, 2010
By E. Mcdonald
Going from road riding to using this thing took a little getting used to, but after about 20 miles I had no problems. The setup was very easy and I can ride with my two small children asleep in the next room.

Pleased with purchase. Dec 28, 2010
By M. Golczewski
I bought this to hook up to my old mountain bike to use this winter to get in shape. Very easy to set up and quality of frame is excellent. I bought the version with the remote cable tension adjustment. Probably not needed as switching gears will likely change the tension enough. It's incredibly quiet as the only point of contact is the braking area on the back tire.
The trainer will lift the back tire about two (2) inches from the floor. I used a few 2x4's to prop up the front tire rather than buy a front tire brace.
I've also gotten into the habit of releasing the tension springs on the two friction wheels that contact with the back tire when I don't use it. I don't want there to be any flat spots on the tension wheels themselves. Might be a bit overboard but would rather be safe than sorry.

 Rim Drive Trainer Jan 19, 2011
By steelpolish
I have a bunch of burley mountain bikes that never see a slick tire, ever. This trainer allows me to run my gnarley bikes without any issues. I have used it with my trail bike, a dirt jump single speed, and a full on downhill race bike. The bikes easly and quickly mount up to the trainer, and the rim drive friction unit clicks up against the rim with a snap of a lever. The rim drive unit uses soft rubber drive wheels that roll along the rim, so it wont rub the paint off of the rim if you use disk brakes. The unit is very well built and sturdy. Operation is very smooth and positive. I got the remote option which I would recommend due to its ease of use. You wont be sorry with this fine piece of Japanese engineering...

Very quiet unit with plus advantages, if that is what you need. Sep 18, 2011
By The_Professer
At first after reading the flaming reviews I registered to return the unopened item. After talking with another biking associate I decided to try it first and I am glad I did.
This unit is ultra quiet. All you hear is a slight swishing sound from the magnetic resistance unit. I am not a sprinter or heavy power user so the available resistance settings are more that adequate for my use.
Easy to setup if you read and follow the simple assembly and setup instructions.

Well worth the price! Aug 30, 2011
By S. Bernal
I just got my trainer last night and it was relatively easy to setup. It is very sturdy and made of quality parts. I looked at other trainers but I was sold on this one by the fact that you don't have to change your back tire to a slick one if you have a mountain bike. It's not too heavy and it folds nicely so you can store it when not in use. Made in Japan(Not China!) and Minoura has an office in CA that will support this product!
