Minoura Mag-850R Bike Trainer with Remote Shifter
Filed Under: Minoura Trainers, Trainer Reviews by
The Minoura 850R Mag Bike Trainer is a solidly constructed and extremely versatile trainer. I have not had a lot of time on this trainer at the time of this writing but enough to give a pretty accurate assessment of the pros and cons of this Minoura Bike Trainer. The Minoura sets up easy in spite of some of the most horrible directions I've ever read. Fortunately I am male, so I don't need no stinkin directions but a few minutes and the Minoura Mag 850 Bike Trainer was put together and … [Read more...]

This trainer utilizes magnets to provide the resistance and will give a reasonable workout at a rock bottom price.

Filed Under: Forza Trainers, Trainer Reviews by 1 Comment
The Forza F2 Magnetic Bike Trainer is an entry in the cut throat entry level mag trainer category that is littered with budget offerings. The Forza F2 Mag trainer is very similar to most bike trainers and offers many of the same features, it's foldable and able to be transported with you if you so choose. The steel frame is painted in a screaming yellow paint job that I have to say is not real attractive. I guess I have to remind myself that a trainer isn't sexy no matter what color it is so … [Read more...]

If you aren't familiar with bicycle trainers and the differences between rim drive and a traditional trainer then you are not alone. Most cyclists are familiar with the traditional style bike trainers that work by loading the bicycle wheel against a roller of some sort. These trainers work great but they tend to be a bit on the loud side and they can chew up tires if you don't use a … [Read more...]

The Blackburn Trakstand Magnetic Bike Trainer is a great bang for the buck bike trainer for the rider that wants a decent trainer that they don't have to invest a lot of money into. Many riders employ a trainer begrudgingly during the winter months to maintain a minimum level of conditioning and to keep their backside and legs in shape for spring. The Blackburn Magnetic trainer is a good choice for this type of rider but should not be confused with a trainer that will be ridden hard and often … [Read more...]
