I own two also.....whatever Kurt does I do :)

They are exceptionally smooth and stable.

I only have one and it is the only one that I have had. It is now 3 yrs old and I have nothing but good things to say about it. I abuse it, using it as a bike wash stand and still no problems.

recommend 100%, unless you're into doing big gear work on the trainer - I can't get resistance quite high enough at low rpm's. Other than that, definite buy. I paid $250 for it on Ebay (I think at the 1upUSA store).

We've sold quite number of them and use them here in the store and have had good experiences. Not a single defect or problem. Recommended.

Highly recommend. I love mine.

i bought one last month (my first) and have no complaints....was easy to set up and delivers as promised.

Also very pleased with mine.

I'll throw in one minor complaint for objectivity, however. The mechanism used to tighten resistence - i.e. bring the roller/flywheel in close contact with the tire, could use some improvement - my bolt stripped after just a year and a half of moderate use. (Not sure how this compares to the 1-Up unit, which is also highly thought of around these parts)

That being said, upon contact Kurt Kinetic immediately sent me a new bolt. They provide top-notch customer service!! I'd buy another in a heartbeat.....

Hello

I hear really good things about them. However I would recommend a TACX Flow trainer. Got one. Gives me everything I need. Speed Distance Watts incline, Cal burned. I just hate getting off the trainer and think ok thats a hour or 2 and not know what I have done other than HR.

Thanks,

I already have a Powertap hub so getting training data isn't a problem. I have heard the Tacx is a good option though.

Good trainers.

I own the Road Machine purchased from Tom Demerley off this site. I've also used a Cyclops fluid trainer and I like the Road Machine a little better. Both are great, quiet, easy to use and set up. Read the manual, make sure your tires are clean, properly inflated and that the spindle or whatever it is called is clean and you won't have any problem.

You can't go wrong with buying this trainer, and buy it from Tom for the best deal you'll find anywhere online or otherwise.

I've had the Road Machine for one year. Nice piece of equipment. The only minor complaint is that it doesn't seem as stable as the Performance Travel Trac trainer I was using. I get a bit of a vibration transmitted from the Kurt through my bike. The trainer sits on a hard surface (wood board). Wonder if anyone else has experienced this.

I agree with Tom.

I loath indoor bike training, but if you live where you get a real winter, it's almost a necessity. I have used a few different trainers over the years and recently tried out a Kurt Kinetic, and I must say that it's the best indoor trainer that I have ever been on. Very smooth. Very quiet and it does an outstanding job of simulating what it feels like out riding on the road.

I got this trainer from Tom's shop and really like it. For me is a necessity with a baby in the house so it allows me to be multitasking most of the time. My wife have sat to watch Tv while i'm on the trainer a couple of times and never had an issue with the noise nor she had to raise the volume. The feel while on the bike is very good and setting it up is quite fast plus loading, unloading the bike takes all of 15 sec.

Peace

Hey Newbie

I've had KK for 4 years. LOVE it!!! No problems.

Prior to that I had a Blackburn mag trainer. It sucked by comparison.
