    Hi All,

    As per the above, for sale, i bought it 2 weeks ago on adverts for €55, carried out a repair to a bolt holding the resistance unit, and used for two sufferfest workouts.

    Pros:
    Really good feel, very progressive resistance, much better than any basic mag turbo or indeed fluid trainer.

    Easy to store

    It's green

    Cons:

    Noisy - I cannot emphasise enough how loud this is. It is not for an apartment, or for use in a terraced house. I think best used in a shed or garage!

    Not smart - But you knew that.

    The bolts for the rear wheel holder cannot be overly tightened, and in my view will need to be replaced soon. That said, i used it twice for big efforts and aside from a little bit of movement at the skewer had no issue.

    Reason for sale: Too noisy for use in my house what with 2 year old in bed.

    No skewer or riser block included.

    I'll post a picture later!

    Looking for same I paid, €55.

    Ah, sorry - i forgot about this - I've just yesterday ordered the replacement bolt from Kurt Kinetic in the US so i'll have to hold on to it until at least then. Once I've fitted it I'll then consider selling it on.

    Can the mods close this thread please?? Sorry for the incovenience!
