1up USA trainer?
I've not read any reviews but have had mine for 2 season. It's built
well, easy to install bike at home or at a race. Quiet running. You can change resistance level. AND, Made in USA. In article .com, "serg" wrote: any pros? cons? the reviews i've read online at rbr and mtbr sound almost too good to be true... |

1up USA trainer?
any pros? cons? the reviews i've read online at rbr and mtbr sound almost too good to be true... I have one winter of use on mine and it worked fine. The heigh adjustment is excellent. It accommodates uneven floors and it lets yo keep the back wheel a fraction of an inch above the floor, so the bik is almost level without shims under the front wheel. Removing o installing the bike is fast and easy. The trainer folds up quickly fo storage and takes little space. It is nicely made, solid, and look nice. It provides resistance via a centrifugal brake, so the roller does war up in use. But, I like the feel of the resistance. It’s adjustable b shifting the bike. Disassembling the brake mechanism and relocatin parts can make major resistance adjustments. I did not bother. I use, there was a small build up of tire rubber on the roller. cleaned this off from time to time. The cleaning ritual just kep things quieter and smoother running. By the way, I did use th cheapest tire I could find back there. The only noise comes from th tire on the roller so you’ll want a slick or the whine is annoying. I went directly from an old wind machine to this one. I like it muc better. Stev -- Steve Shapiro |

Very well built, as quiet as any I've heard, and wonderful customer
service. Two cons: Resistance is adjustable, but it's a bit of a PITA. Not hard, but not something you want to do repeatedly. There is no "on the fly" resistance adjustment, so if you want to spin like crazy one day and grind the next, look elsewhere. Installing a bike is easy, but installing a second isn't. The bike locking mechanism depends on the width of the skewer, so if one bike is narrower than another (say, steel vs. aluminum) they won't both fit. If you only use one bike on the trainer you'll never even notice. The 1Up comes with a 60 day guarantee -- two months to return it and they pay shipping. If the two features above don't sound like a problem, give it a try. How can you go wrong? |
