"Great trainer for anyone. Good bang for the $, strong, durable, and quite. Add a window and you are set for many hours of indoor winter training. "DragonBear
Ease of use
very easy to change tension, or even bikes. I switch between two bike regularly, never takes more than a couple of minutes.
Quality of Construction
strong, durable, used for several hours straight with no heating, slipping issues.
Fit
Tried with childrens bikes and adult bikes. Works great on a wide variety of wheels.
Comfort
Defiantly needs a front support of some time. Otherwise you always feel like your going downhill. Makes it real hard to train on standing. This is pretty common for all indoor trainers.
Adjustability
tried on 16" - 27" wheels, works great.
Durability
6 plus years and going. Still looks new, and feels new. Good tight/quick shifting even after 6 years, and hundreds of miles.
Value
great trainer for the home athlete.
Appearance
sleek, strong, bright color
Customer Service
never dealt with customer service. Good online manual from OEM
Performance
quick/smooth shifting, multiple strength levels. Quite, and durable. Weekly spend 2-3 hours at a time on it in the winter with no problems.
Strengths
strong, durable, quick/smooth shifting, lots of gears, and quite. Great for learning spinning geometry and efficiency.
Weakness
shifter cable comes out of mag at a funny angle. If you are not careful you may pinch, damage that part of the cable. I haven't had an issue, but I am always gentle with that part when changing the setup.

Ease of installation
easy install and setup, can take a little bit to learn how to gauge different wheel sizes for meeting the roller.
