Product Description

Product Description

By providing an ultra-realistic feel, the Blackburn Trakstand Ultra Bicycle Trainer will help you get (or stay) in peak cycling shape when it is unfeasible to actually be out on your bicycle. The Trakstand Ultra features Blackburn's patented Centriforce resistance unit with a centrifugal clutch for an amazingly smooth, silent and progressive resistance that feels just like a hard road ride. Unlike magnetic and fluid trainers that lose speed quickly, the Centriforce system has a smooth rollout when coasting so your pedal stroke feels more natural in the dead spots, or when you ease up on the pedals.

The Ultra also features an adjustable height that allows the rear wheel to be as close as 0.5-inches to the ground so you don't have to prop up the front wheel. Constructed of a durable folding aluminum frame, Blackburn's Trakstand Ultra includes three different resistance curves for a custom feel, replaceable friction-resistance elements, and a five-year limited warranty.

About Blackburn
In 1975, Jim Blackburn set out to design stronger, lighter, more innovative and more reliable cycling products. The first were bags and racks designed for touring. From there, Blackburn grew. Over the next 30 years, Blackburn's spark of innovation would lead to many revolutionary products, like the first high quality aircraft aluminum rack, the first dual stroke minipump, the first oversized mountain minipump and the first dual stage/dual stroke floorpump just to name a few. For 2005, Blackburn's creative spark is burning brighter than ever. And as we head into our 30th year, Blackburn is re-dedicated to designing smart, reliable, no nonsense accessories that are essential to your riding experience.

Product Description

The new TrakStand Ultra features our patented CENTRIFORCE resistance unit with a centrifugal clutch for amazingly smooth, silent and progressive resistance that feels just like a hard road ride. And unlike magnetic and fluid trainers which lose speed quickly, CENTRIFORCE has a smooth rollout when coasting, so your pedal stroke feels more natural in the dead spots or when you ease up on the pedals. The Ultra also features adjustable height, which allows the rear wheel to be as close as 1/2" to the ground. No more phone book under the front wheel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Blackburn Trak Stand Ultra, April 5, 2009

By	Mitchell Goldflies (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Blackburn Trakstand Ultra Indoor Bicycle Trainer (Sports)

The Blackburn Trak Stand Ultra Indoor Bicycle Trainer uses a design originally sold by 1up USA as the CPR A-2000 Bicycle Trainer. I had problems with the Blackburn unit out of the box. Lubing the internals of the Resistance Unit (RU) helped only a little. I then reattached my Blackburn RU to the base support arms with the standard bolts and the plastic shroud removed. All of the RU problems disappeared. The unit folds easily and is easier to transport that my fluid trainer. The resistance with the RU varies according to speed and and pedal pressure. Resistance builds more than a fluid trainer at high speed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Happy with my TrakStand Ultra, November 8, 2009

By	Ron I (Hawaii) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Blackburn Trakstand Ultra Indoor Bicycle Trainer (Sports)

I just purchase this product today locally. I wished I had checked Amazon more thoroughly because it is 25% less than what I paid locally.

I read the instructions (3 minutes), unboxed the trainer (2 minutes), had to change to the provided skewer to get my bike to fit (5 minutes), made adjustments (2 minutes), got dressed (2 minutes) and was riding. This was much easier to set up than I had imagined.

I am using this for rehab after shattering my tibia 3 months ago. My first ride was one hour spinning a 42 X 17. I really like the feel of this trainer. It feels much better than an excercise bike at the gym 'cause you are riding your personal bike. The resistance feels very good VS. my Minoura rollers with mag resistance. The one odd thing is the wheel slips on the polished aluminum drum of the resistance unit (RU) if your don't pedal smoothly.

Overall, I'm very happy with the unit. I was debating the $80 Bell Motivator. I'm glad I spent more for this because it is very well constructed, the skewer attachment is solid and it unit is silent. Also, you don't need a riser with this unit because the design can keep the real wheel 1/4 inch off the ground.
