Title: Little to no resistance
Product review: Let me start by saying I've never trained for biking before. I bought a slick tire for my mountain bike and hooked it up to this trainer. The noise with a slick tire is acceptable, but I was able to run in top gear without breaking a sweat. I simply overpowered this trainer. Other reviews said to tighten the trainer more than recommended to get additional resistance, but it really didn't make a difference.This may be okay if you are feather light and using a road bike with tall gears, but for my 180# frame on a mountain bike, it simply did not provide enough resistance. I returned this and got a CycleOps Mag and have had no problems (I'm not even on the top resistance setting)... guess you get what you pay for!
