I agree with all the comments posted before this post. The BELL MAG Trainer is just what I wanted. I am a 27 year old that is still riding his GT Outpost Trail mountain bike from 8th grade and what I wanted was a trainer that was not EXPENSIVE and functioned.
There are very few reviews for trainers which is why I chose to review this one. I took a chance and bought this one blind. I have no experience with other trainers but from what I can tell, they are all basically going to do the same function and this one does it job.
Noise was the main problem when I first tried it with my “knobby” mountain bike tire on the rear; but this was quickly fixed by a much smoother 14 dollar Bontrager Tire (26×1.95) from my local bike shop. It became much quieter due to the tire change; which I should have done a long time ago since I do mainly road biking.
Moving the bike is sort of a pain but it is manageable. I move it from my garage to my living room in a matter of 5 minutes. It is light enough that I would think just about anyone could move it. The whole setup is a little bulky though. This will vary between bikes. Mine is very heavy due to its age (it was bought new around 1992).
I will close with my finale comments here. I am now purchasing a riser to level out the bike (which could be done with 2×4’s or old books), I am also going to buy a sweat catcher even though I have a piece a carpet underneath the bike (I do not like the sweat dripping on the bike), and I am also going to buy a book holder. The book holder is so I can catch up on my many magazines (I think it may be difficult to do heavy reading while riding). Otherwise, I would be content with watching movies or TV (such as the USC vs Texas game that is at the half as a write this).
I hope this helps any and all who read it.
Sincerely…. Tripp from TPA
