I purchased this product about a month ago I am 290lbs and have not had a problem with thinking it will brake, there are creeks when getting on but not when riding. the value of this product is great being fluid it will feel vary easy even on hard gears but as the fluid heats up it gets so hard you can’t stay in high gears and this is good for hill training I don’t stand and rid on this with my Weight. The problems i have had are miner to big depending on who you are and what you can do. for me they are minor fixes, it didn’t come with one washer or it fell out the box as the washers where free in the box not in a bag. The counter balance also needed to be tightened and was not the same size Allen wrench that came in the box. The biggest issue Is the fact that there is not enough space on a 700cc rim with Slick tires to ride confidently on hardwood I ride mine on carpet and needed to raise the trainer about half an inch off the carpet I have tried this on my concrete slab outside and it was uncomfortably close so no matter what you will want to raise this trainer unless you have a smaller tire diameter. Setting up the bike on the trainer was a bit of trail and error as you need to find out how hard it needs to touch the wheel FYI it’s not hard at all I found that barely touching is best for tire wire/ resistance. Over all I am vary happy with my purchase and have never wished I perched a different trainer as I’m sure all would have some problems. I would buy again at this point. I will do another review after winter for my full experience.

Installation was easy, only thing is I don’t feel the resistance when pedaling faster, that can be fixed by just increasing the tension. Other wise I like it, it allows me to “go on a ride”, I’m currently recovering from knee surgery, this exercise helps a lot in conjunction with physical therapy.

Good quality item but ended up hating to train indoors. Not the products fault, just wished I had bought a cheaper one
