I went looking for more info on this product as i was curious about the "4 separate height adjustments" on the ribbon brochure and i could only see 3 possible positions. It turns out that 2 of the separate height adjustments are using a 2nd climbing block in combination with the first: back-to-back and front-to-back.
As far as i can tell there are the three positions with the one climbing block. Measuring how high the front tire is raised gives the possible height increases of 1.25 inches, 1.75 inches and 2.125 inches (these are eye-balled so not perfect).
The combination of a CycleOps trainer and my wife's bike raises her back tire 1 inch off the floor so like the previous reviewer, Adam Rhuberg said, the block is more like a leveler than a climber. Unless you buy that 2nd climbing block of course.

I purchased the CycleOps 2 Fluid Trainer and bought the climbing block to go with it. First comment, I can't see using this trainer without the block because your back tire is raised quite a bit when connected to the trainer. Other trainers might be lower to the ground and maybe this block isn't as necessary. Second comment, I don't feel it's much of a "climbing" block as it is a "leveling" block. Each slot does have variations in the grade, but they're not extreme... you won't feel like you're climbing Alp D'Huez. The minor flaw is that there's no identification on the block in terms of what slot you're using. There are theoretically 6 different ways you can position your bike in this, and if you're like me and you constantly break it all down and put it away, you never know which slot you had your wheel in before without putting the bike in, eyeballing the level of the bike, and possibly getting on the bike to see if it feels right. Kind of a stupid oversight in product design if you ask me.

This is a good quality product. It does its job in lifting the front wheel of my bike off the ground while I'm using my trainer. As previous reviews have indicated, the "climbing" aspect of this product only comes with stacking two on top of one another to create a hill. My goal with the block was just to raise the front wheel, so I've stuck with just one. I have found that the block sometimes gets caught or snags on the burbur carpeting it sits on, which is fixed by a few minor adjustments including placing a smooth mat underneath. I can't say I notice a difference in the various positions on the block, so I just keep it in the same slot each time. I too wish there were numbers or even indicators on each slot to indicate position. Overall, I like the product.

Great
It's a great little accessory, although the same thing could probably be achieved using some phonebooks. But, it's a nice handy tool.

Kind of tall
I wasn't expecting this to be quite sooo tall. I should have gone for a simpler wheel chock. It doesn't need to be soo bulky. Read more

A must have for use with the indoor trainer.
This product makes the Cycle Ops Indoor Bicycle Trainer much more stable. I used the trainer for a couple of weeks without the block and was never comfortable. Read more

This Rocks!
This is larger than you would think it would be. But it works perfectly. It is light, yet strong, and I noticed the difference from riding without it immediately. Read more

I would purchase another if I needed one.
It was fine and it worked just the way it was supposed to. I would recommend it for the purpose.

A must if you have a trainer.
We only purchased one, but it is a must for the CycleOps trainer to even get to a level position. It is fairly simple in its design but works well.

Product works good, bike tire stays in place firmly. Should be cheaper for a molded piece of plastic. Shipped as expected.
