Sports reviews of Bell Motivator Mag Indoor Bicycle TrainerCustomer Review: Decent basic trainerI didn't actually purchase mine from Amazon; I got it used from Craigslist - local purchases save the environment! As far as the trainer goes: yes, it's a basic mag trainer that provides a bit of resistance. On to the review. First off, it's insanely easy to set up. Unfold, drop your bike's rear wheel in, tighten the axle up into the slots. Note: If you don't know how to change out a skewer axle then you probably ought to consider learning that if you own a bike! You don't have to use the provided skewer if your axle fits in the stand. I used my old mountain bike with no problems whatsoever. Second, twist the adjustment so the roller is against your rear wheel. Third, mount bike and pedal. A word of warning: depending on the type of wheel you have on your bike, you might encounter a great deal of noise/vibration. I swapped out my knobby tire for a road-ish tire (probably more of a commuter tire, but I digress...) and the noise is considerably less - I don't know why you would want to run knobbies on a trainer anyway. If you can, go ahead and get road slick tires for the least amount of noise. I just parked in front of the tube and watch movies, sometimes with headphones so the amount of noise doesn't bother me one bit. I also like the fact that the unit is pretty light so I can leave it attached to my bike and move the whole contraption out of the way when I'm not training. Right now, I don't have any cons but I imagine I may have more after using it for more than a week. I read other reviews that complained of little resistance - but honestly if you're such a powerful cyclist you probably need a more advanced trainer anyway. Don't be a cheapskate :)
