Good trainer and value...if you don't mind the noise Apr 07, 2006 By David Bigl
I recenly purchased this trainer for 119.99 through amazon and I was happy with it...except for the noise. It's not incredibly loud but it's loud enough so that if you want to watch TV while riding you have to put the volume up pretty loud. That bothered me so I returned it and got a fluid trainer and it was much quieter. Some nice things about the blackburn mag trainer was that it came assembled right out of the box, resistance was smooth, it fit a large variety of wheels, and mounting the bike onto the trainer was easy. The negatives were the noise and also it seemed to wear out the tire quite a bit. If you do purchase this trainer you might want to purchase a cheap tire to put on your bike while you use it.

It's good, but not great Aug 21, 2007 By Jenn
This does what it's meant to do. It sets up easily, but it is noisy. I used it for the first time last night, and had to turn my tv volume up very high.

Like I said, it works and does what it is supposed to do.

Great value and quality! Mar 15, 2006 By K. Campbell
Great trainer-just what I was looking for to get a jump-start back into cycling. Works great with my mountain bike; arrived fully assembled and the instructions for mounting the bike were very clear. Much quieter than I expected, a nice surprise! Great bang for your buck.

Rock Solid Competence at a Bargain Price Dec 17, 2008 By K. Beach "KRB"
It is possible to spend over $2000 on a computerized resistance trainer just as it's possible to spend upwards of $15,000 on road bike. If this shoe fits, wear it in good health. In this case, ignore the plain little Blackburn Trackstand because it likely won't suffice.

On the other hand, if the performance/price ratio of a resistance trainer matters, the Blackburn Trackstand is the Gold Standard. This inexpensive appliance does what it's supposed to, does it well, and does it at a fantastic price point.

$1000 aluminum road bike. Check. Inexpensive Blackburn Trackstand? Check. MP3 player and caffeine? Check. Water bottle? Check. Hammer it long...hammer it hard. Need less resistance? Downshift. Need more resistance? Upshift. It's elemental, and that's just the way I like it. Bravo, Blackburn!

Is it possible to love a trainer? Aug 12, 2006 By K. Murphy "Kimmie"
Previously, I owned a wind trainer, and I have to say, this was an incredible upgrade. I can actually watch TV or hold a conversation with my kids while riding without even noticing the noise.

Overall, I love the trainer as much as it's possible to, though I do have a couple of problems that having invested a little more money might have solved. The mounting is not quite as easy as some of the other trainers in the higher price ranges. There are three degrees of intensity, which is nice, though I find that I rarely use this feature, simply leaving it on level 3. The other problem was with the shipping. When I received my trainer, it made a horrible pinging noise, and I could not change the intensity level. I had to do a little bit of exploring with a screwdriver and then figure outfor my myself what was wrong. IT seems the magnets had come loose during shipping and fallen out of their brackets. Once that was fixed though, it was smooth sailing without a ping in the world.

I would definitely recommend this trainer for the avid amateur rider.
