I"m going nowhere fast! Great bike trainer!
Hi Amazon, Too bad I didn't see this sooner....but now that I have I will be using this bike trainer by Deuter often. When I can't ride outdoors (winter, rain, etc) I can now ride my bike indoors. Awesome! The video included here shows in real-life detail about the bike trainer, what it comes with, how to set it up and how nice it works. I've never owned one of these before and really wanted to find one that came with great reviews and was in my cost range. This bike trainer does the trick! It arrived in 2 days using Prime (always amazes me how efficient Amazon is), simple to set up (actually it was pre-assembled with the exception of the resistance motor and pressure regulator), just as promoted on Amazon.I bought the unit that had the additional level resistance controller (which really works in case you are wondering) and it also comes with the front wheel riser. (Not sure if all unit they sell come with the front riser or not, but mine did).I've been using this for the past couple of days and I it is just like riding on my trail but indoors. My winter legs are getting stronger and will be ready for the outdoor rides very soon.Really good purchase! Enjoy!Deuter Bike Trainer Black with Controller

I thought it was a great product even though the instructions were lacking and the ...
I'm going to be generous and give this product 5 stars because of the product itself. I considered deducting a star for the assembly instructions but at the end of the day, I thought it was a great product even though the instructions were lacking and the instructions was good enough for me to figure out how to assemble. Great price for a bike trainer. I've been eyeing a trainer locally for a while and this is by far the best price for the same type of functionality. Saved myself a couple hundred dollars here.I was also worried from other reviews that it could be missing pieces. Its actually quite easy to throw away the screws if you aren't attentive unpacking. I thought I was missing the screws at first as well but when I looked through the packing (which I already threw away), the screws were actually there.

Great product, expanded my workout options
This is great, I have recommended it to friends. I like being able to bike at home whenever I want (at night, in the rain) and not have to worry about NYC street safety. It also keeps my bike off the floor as a bike stand which is nice. It was a little clunky to set up and it doesn't feel super stable for standing/climbing work. I can ride and watch TV or listen to music or a podcast (the noise is ok, not too loud). I may have missed this in other reviews and my pre-purchase research, but you have to replace the pin in you bike's back wheel with the one that comes with the stand - didn't expect that. Haven't had an issue when I take it back out on the street, but I just didn't expect to replace parts.

Great alternative to biking in harsh weather.
For what it costs and how well it works for me it is a solid five star product. My 2001 Marin nail Trail was sitting under my house 4 8 years. On good days I ride a GT Zaskar on mountain bike trails in a great State Forest. For days when it is simply too hot or when time is not on my side the Deuter bike trainer is a godsend. My 26in mountain bike has Kenda off road on road tires mounted on it and the noise when riding on the trainer is acceptable. And aggressive mountain bike tire May create noise that is unacceptable for mini. Placed in my bonus room in front of the home theater my bike is a joy to ride on harsh days. If I set the gearing on my bike and the pressure on the rear roller to tire so that pedaling is moderate I have plenty of adjustability with the built-in level adjuster and by shifting gears on the bike itself. Works like a champ. Highly recommended for those who don't have access to Trails or the road in difficult or extreme weather.

Very Sturdy & Good Value (Kind of noisy with hybrid tires)
It is super easy to assemble and to put my bike on and take off. It is also very sturdy and so far works great. The only thing is it is too loud to use in the house, probably because I have hybrid tires on my bike. I use it in the garage and it's not as loud; I can easily hear a show playing on my phone over the noise of the tire.

Works well as an exercise bike
I bought it so that my wife could use it indoors as an exercise bike for her bad knee. This trainer is advertised to fit 26"-28" wheels but my wife's wheels were only 25"diameter. I gambled , and luckily I found that by buying an adjustment bolt that was a half inch longer, it worked fine with the 25' wheels.It is sturdy and holds the bike steady. I thought that it would come with a resistance adjustment that was controlled by a wire to the handlebars. It did not. But changing gears seems to work ok for an exercise bike. Good value for the money.

Curious "delivery"
The product is good. Works well, seems reasonably priced. The downside is that the literature that comes with it says the item is fully assembled when it is totally unassembled. So, the "directions" don't address at all the assembly, but only the bike mounting procedure. It's a good thing that many people who buy this are "bike people" and will be able to figure it out, but the beginner may well have to take this to a bike shop for the assembly. Not a great first day.

Nice but wire controller flimsy!
Nice bike trainer, but wired controller clamp does not secure it to the handle bar. I use it with my kids smaller 24" bike without the quick release rear tire and works fine, as long as you don't go crazy.
