I am a long-time bike rider and live in Phoenix, AZ. Here the summer weather is HOT. The outdoor temperatures here are high 80’s or into the 90’s before sunrise. I use the stand in the summers to avoid the heat.I hooked up a speedometer on my bike’s rear tire to read the mileage ridden on the bike stand. I have ridden about 110 miles on the stand in the past 2 weeks and the stand has performed well.The stand itself is heavy duty steel, well-finished, and attractive. Mounted on the stand, the bike is taller, so I use a short stool to get on and off the bike. The support for the front wheel is nice and keeps the bike level from front to back. I used the replacement quick release skewer that came with the stand because it fit the stand’s clamps best. The cable to the magnetic resistance unit is quite long. I coiled it and zip tied it, to compact it, and keep it away from the pedals.The resistance unit was easy to attach to the stand. The clamps that hold the bike keep it firmly in place once adjusted properly. The clamps are simple to adjust for your bike’s size. Do not overly tighten the adjustment that keeps the roller pressed against the bike’s rear tire or it will create more noise.My bike has Specialized Nimbus 2 Armadillo tires 700X32 that have smooth tread and do not cause annoying noise. The noise comes from the spinning of the magnetic resistance unit and roller that contacts the tire. By turning up the volume on the TV, it is still possible to use a TV when using the unit.One reviewer complained that the magnetic resistance unit was not effective. It works fine for me. I have it set for #3 on the handlebar unit and change the resistance by shifting my bike’s gears.
