Loud but works,
Pros
* Installation took 10min. Just take out the back axle and install one that is provided. The bike will then fit into the stand.
* Inexpensive. This is one of the less expensive models
Cons
* About as loud as a vacuum cleaner when mtn bike tires are installed
* DiscountTommy is giving people $17 in merchandise to write 5 star reviews on Amazon. To quote from an email they sent me: “We will send you a FREE RAD Bike Hoist for writing a product review on Amazon… All you need is an Amazon.com account and a willingness to write a 5 Star review for our product.”
Operation
* Resistance is increased by a) twisting a knob that pushes a roller against the tire or b) increasing your bicycle gear.
* With mountain bike tires on, the unit is about as loud as an old loud vacuum and it is impossible to carry on a conversation while in use. I am able to hear 2 sounds. One is the humming sound of my tire against the roller. That is expected and can be probably be reduced by changing the tire. The 2nd sound is more abrasive and sounds like a combination of a vacuum and the sound of running a flat, bristle, plastic comb over an edge. It isn’t clear how much changing the tires would improve the noise.
I consider this a reasonable product if the noise is not a problem.

Great Value,
This is the first bike trainer that I’ve owned, so I don’t have much to compare it to, but I really like it. It was a great value for the price, and simple to put together and use. It’s a little louder than I expected (thus the 4 out of 5 stars) when using it with my mountain bike, but it works well. If you purchase this product, or any other bike trainer for that matter, you probably want something to hold the front tire in place and raise it up a bit. Otherwise it feels like you are slightly sloped downhill. Overall, I’m happy with it.

Great value, solid product,
Just received my trainer today, used it and I love it. I was weary about low costing trainers but took a chance on this product, the frame is very solid and easy to use and adjust. One issue I had was with my bike and not the trainer. My Roadmaster Mt. Storm mountain bike did not come built with a quick release rod, after a lot quick research I finally decided to use the rod that was already equipped to my bike and hook it up to the trainer and it worked just fine. If you’re looking for a good trainer then buy this one. It does make some noise but I’m not worried about it, it makes noise mainly because of the type of tire on my bike

Is It Too Loud? I say NO.,
Customer Video Review Length:: 0:47 Mins
There is some disagreement as to whether or not this trainer is “loud” or “noisy”. Since “too loud” and “very quiet” are subjective you can’t judge by someone else’s standards. So here is a video allowing you to decide for yourself. [I hope.]

A Durable Machine Where It Matters Most,
This bicycle trainer will not disappoint you, especially for the price. Customer service is very reasonable to work with should you have any kind of issue. Once I set up my mountain bike to this machine, I was impressed at its strength considering its size. Also, as I am currently weighing at 200 lbs., the fact that it locks the bike in place and remains solid when adding my weight to it, I have come to trust this device without question. I’m glad I chose this machine during these very tight economic times.
