Know what you may encounter Nov 21, 2007 By Maureen A. Coy
The Blackburn Trakstand was great for about 1 month, afterwhich the spindle holder started to separate and had to be continually adjusted. The trainer is not quiet by any means though it does give a true road-like ride. Riding on a road is much quieter. The unit does not come with any information as to what to do about troubleshooting. Due to the expense and the ongoing mentioned problems with the trainer, I would not buy anything from this company without being able to see it and or test it first. If they could work out the "kinks" it would be a great trainer.

Good product, minor snags, would recommend purchase Apr 08, 2009 By Future Green Girl
I got my trainer in record time, way before I expected it. Amazon has always been great for me when it comes to shipping intervals. I had my bike up and mounted in about 10 sweaty minutes. You might need a helper when getting the trainer and your bike to make friends together. (Maybe a lighter-weight modern bike is easier to manage by yourself. I have a big old cheap mountain bike clunker purchased before all the titanium and what-not.) I had a good workout once I got everything in place. The instructions are a bit foggy, but once you look at the box (!) you can pretty much manage. It's sturdy and offers a firm, stable mount. Know that you'll be tipped forward when you're seated. You can spend some more money for a front-wheel stand if that bothers you. Also, once you get the resistance levels and your gears synced together in the right mix, it works out fine. Other reviews mention noise, but as far as I'm concerned, it's not an important issue. Slap your earphones on and get on with it. The positives far outweigh the hazy set-up instructions and getting the resistance right, but all in all, it's a good buy. I recommend it to anyone needing a good indoor trainer that's sturdy, well-made, and works right out the box!

Blackburn Fluid Trainer Jan 16, 2007 By Steven R. Bowdler
This is a good product, when you use it you can fell it working in your legs. It is good to be able to ride your bike in the comfort of your living room when you can't ride outside. The only bad points of the trainer would be it is a bit noisy and the instructions are hard to understand. It is good value for money and has a strong support stand.

Best trainer I have ever bought Oct 20, 2009 By Kelly
I have had 4 different trainers over the years, this one is by far the most stable and quiet I have ever used. It is easy to set the resistance, and it is extremely sturdy. Recommended.

Sending it back Oct 29, 2009 By Laura M.
For a fluid trainer, this one is noisy. I took it to an indoor class, and it was embarrassing how much noise it was putting out. That paired with the fact that above 100 cadence the whole thing starts to vibrate makes this an item I just can't keep.
