I've had this product for almost a year and have put 1500 miles on the unit.  This thing is very consistent in increasing resistance with speed.  I would recommend applying some grease to the large aluminum threads that you screw into to hold the axle.  I change bikes for me and the wife about every other day and its holding up nicely.  You will definitely need a sweat "thong" for your bike and a towel or mat on the floor.  A large fan with a remote(can purchase remote power strip at Home improvement store).

I have tried using Spin videos, doing my own thing, watching TV but have found only one program that I can use with an indoor trainer that keeps me motivated, that is TrainerRoad.com software.  If you plan on doing ANY indoor training on the bike check out that software, its by far the best thing I've done for my training and it works perfectly with this trainer.  All you need is the cadence/speed senor plus HR monitor strap and they can determine what your power output is based on those values.  What a deal for $10 month!

So, buy this trainer, get the Garmin GSC10 sensor, Ant+ HR monitor strap, and subscribe to TrainerRoad.  You be well on your way to training with Power!
