Title: Not a real trainer
Product review: I'm a competitive cyclist and borrowed this trainer from a friend to use during the winter and wow....this thing is terrible. Yes, it is cheap, and yes, it allows you to bike inside, however, forget this thing if you are looking for a workout. There is no resistance and the only way to work up a sweat is to crank the roller tight on the tire but get ready for burning rubber and dramatically decreased tire life. Spend a few more dollars and get a real trainer. The frame is also flimsy, be careful getting out of the saddle for sprints: I've dropped the wheel out of the clamps on several occasions because the lateral flex of the frame is so bad. Spend your money elsewhere.
