SportneerBike Trainer - Magnetic Stationary Bike Stand for 26-28" & 700C Wheels - Adjustable 6 Level Resistance Bike Trainer Stand for Indoor Riding with Quick Release Lever & Front Wheel Riser Block

Edit 03/16/2023: Their customer support and assistance is by far the best I have experienced! After a few more emails about the previous replacement unit they had shipped (see original review below), their support representative went way above anything I had expected and replaced the entire unit. The replacement is brand-new and works the way it should, quiet and smooth. Here's a company that really stand behind their product and is willing to work with a customer to make things right if given the chance. I certainly would purchase from them again.----------------------------------------------------Original review:Purchased this stand to get some exercise while the winter weather is too ugly to go outside. Never owned one before so I went for the less expensive unit. Works fine, easy set-up, easy to use, nothing fancy.Problem came up about 2 to 3 months (approx 400 miles) later. Thing got really noisy, not just the expected tire noise. It started whining with a really noisy rumble that turned into loud scream as things got worse. Cranking the pedals by hand to observe, I also noticed the resistance wheel was wobbly and just screaming along even at low RPM. Not cool after 3 months of use. So, very disappointed there.Contacted the seller by email and was very surprised to actually hear back from them within 24 hrs! A couple of emails back and forth to give them details they wanted and they sent out a replacement. Surprised again. Opened the box and noticed the unit had some wear marks on the aluminum roller. Hm. Used unit.Swapped out the old screamer with the replacement unit and it was quiet. Nice. I figured I let them know I wasn't too happy about getting a used one and the customer service rep got back within 24 hrs again and we figured things out. Let's see how long this one lasts.My opinion: The stand is ok for the price, nothing fancy, pretty basic. Quality is lacking, considering the resistance wheel (most likely bearings) died after 400 miles in less than 3 months. So, not too thrilled about the quality. Maybe 2 stars for that.Customer support: Now that's a very pleasant surprise and not what one would expect from any company. Not only a response within 24 hrs but actually making an effort to make things right. For that I would rate 5 stars.All in all - 4 stars, mainly because of their customer support.Would I buy another one from them if I were to look for another stand? No, not that particular model. But I would consider another model from them just for the customer support.

most of the made-in-China products I've bought since whenever have been shoddily constructed and worked poorly if at all. Not this item: built like a brick, EZ to set up, and a pleasure to to use. No more outdoor bike rides for me....no more attacks by loose yard dogs, no more breathing deisel fumes from passing trucks. Now I ride gazing out a picture window at my backyard and listening to great music.

The box arrived in good condition and no parts were missing. The assembly instructions aren't great but aren't bad, and there's very little assembly so not a big deal. When I first mounted my mountain bike and started riding I was shocked by how loud it was. I'm not sure I would have continued using the trainer at that volume. Also, the action felt a little jerky to me at first, but it was the first time on any bike trainer for me so anything was going to be a step down from road riding. The next day I ordered a slick tire (26" WTB ThickSlick Comp tire) and OMG what a difference - the volume dropped by at least 70%. I also got used to the feel of the resistance and the pedaling became smoother for me. To get a good 30-minute workout I have to put my bike in the highest gear and fluctuate the resistance dial between the top 3 settings (4-6). I'm a 57 year-old moderate athlete, so someone in really good shape might not be as happy with this trainer. The jury is still out regarding durability and tire wear, but so far so good.

After using the Sportneer Bike Trainer for 30 minutes, 5 days a week for nearly 6 weeks, I am very happy with this piece of equipment. Installation, which took about 30 minutes, was very easy on my Cannondale bike. The resistance adjustment mounted easily to my handlebars and works very well. I also use the gear shift on my bike to adjust the resistance. The slight noise from the fly wheel isn't anything that has bothered me. I hear my music or streaming video on my iPad very well just using the speakers on my device. My ride is smooth and very stable. I am a 200 lb., 67 year old man and have no concerns about it tipping or leaning as I get on or off my bike. One caution: I had a couple tiny pebbles in my tire, which marked the fly wheel so be sure your tires are clean before installing/riding. After considerable research, I found this trainer stand to be a reasonably priced, high quality stand.

Easy to set up yeah it’s not electronic and yeah, it’s kind of loud depending on your tires but, it’s easy to set up and gets the job done and so I’m pleased with the purchase.
