RAD Cycle Products Indoor Portable Magnetic Work Out Bicycle Trainer
Loud but works,
* 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.

|Very pleased so far,
Other than that, the unit provides steadily increasing resistance with each gear change and step up in rpm but settles in nicely once you hit your pace. It doesn’t however increase resistance the faster you pedal. It only seems to offer an increase based on the higher gear you select. In other words when you up shift it doesn’t just let you freewheel like you’re going downhill, it will resist accordingly, but will level out as if you’re going along a nice flat stretch of road.
I set my bike for about 80-90 rpm at approx 16mph and ride for an hour. It definitely gives me a work out and I’m sweating nicely by the end and my heart rate is right where I’m comfortable.
For the money, well worth it. Highly recommended. It would gain the 5th star for added quietness.

|I need help setting-up my Thru Axle bike in my Classic Trainer– I went with the Fluid2 Trainer from CycleOps and purchased their Thru Axle Kit, but I have no idea how I go about installing it onto my bike… any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you!
Can we get a video on assembling a trainer tire and connecting it to bike and trainer? Preferably the continental folding trainer tire?
Great video!
@Pam Klaft-Mulchahey The skewer goes in exactly like a "normal" skewer goes through your rear wheel. The reason that most manufacturers give you a special skewer for your trainer is so you do not have to use the skewers off of your nice/race wheels on your trainer, where they may be scuffed and abused.
I needed to know how to put the skewer in, but you skipped that step.
I just hooked my Kestral Talon to this trainer. It seems that the gears dont shift like they would on the street. Especially the lowest gear. Also its hard to go from lowest gears to harder gears.Is this normal
Thank you. I hadn't used mine in so long, I couldn't remember how to mount my bike!
Does it matter the type of bike you use ? Like mountain bike verses a ten speed bike
The bike is very sturdy and would seen to be suitable for years of hard use.
It's quiet enough to watch television while using, that's good enough for me. Also, quieter than a conventional bike on a mag trainer.
Is big enough for my 6 foot frame, and the seat would go another 2-3 inches higher from where I have it set.
comfortable seat, by bicycling standards.
here is the link to it in case anyone is interested:amzn.to189X4TP
Will a uasuall bike trainer take a 23 inch?
ah cool
26 is no problem. Every trainer works with 26" wheels.
but they will handle 26 fine?
