Impressive trainer, July 29, 2008

By	J. Snavely "jellybiscuit" (Raleigh, NC United States) - See all my reviews

I've been riding the Rock & Roll for several months now to supplement my road riding. I was a little hesitant about the rocking feature initially. As it turns out, the default stiffness setting doesn't move nearly as much as I was expecting. Of course, you can loosen the resistance for more motion, or really tighten it down for even less.

My main concern was longevity of my bike frame and I feel like having a little bit of give in the trainer will help prevent damage. I'm not small at 200lbs so a little give is a good thing.

The resistance unit itself is smooth and operates with a relatively little noise. Our house is very open and I ride directly below our bedroom. My wife has never been awakened by the trainer.

I chose to purchase the model with the additional flywheel. I use it when I'm doing consistent pace riding. If I want to do intervals I almost have to remove it to prevent tire slippage. Not a problem, since most people would prefer less flywheel effect for intervals anyway.

Summary:
This is a quality tool that will definitely help you pack on the training miles. The rock & roll feature is not crucial, but is a worthwhile feature if you have the extra money to spend.

Resistance level, March 2, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Kinetic Rock 'n Roll Trainer with Road Resistance Unit (Misc.)

To use the ability to stand on the bike and have it move under you requires additional resistance than that provided by the resistance unit. If you want to use the feature of the Rock and Roll get the pro version.

The set up runs quietly and it is easy to load and unload you bike.
