Set that one first, then slide the driveside knob inward until it makes full but loose contact. The left side uses a locking nut to maintain its position. Keeping the bike stable in such a good platform are the knobs, which thread on tight thanks to big, comfy knobs. A narrower base can make it so the trainer rocks a bit under extreme efforts, particularly for taller riders whose centers of gravity are higher, but not this one. That creates a bedrock level of stiffness that kept it motionless whether I was trying to hit a 130 cadence or standing and draining every last drop of ATP from my legs sprinting for the virtual city limits. The imprints left on the mat measure 30.25″ (77cm) for the feet, and the rear end’s base is a bit more than 11″ (28cm). They make the Traxle thru axle adapter ($49), which we did not test but should work with any standard trainer and most bikes thanks to three different thread pitch options. The bag zips shut and has a front exterior pocket panel to hold all the little stuff separately and makes for very convenient transport even if the trainer itself is pretty heavy. We tested the front wheel Riser Ring ($29), trainer-specific tire ($60), padded carrying case w/shoulder strap ($65) and their Trainer Mat ($69).

Looking for a high end fluid trainer that keeps it simple? Spin on in and check out the details… The resistance unit was unchanged, though, which is fine because it’s stellar. Their line was overhauled in 2013 to improve compatibility with larger (mountain bike) tires, improve fit and finish of the knobs, and pack them completely assembled so you can jump right on as soon as you open the box. The Rock and Roll, which sways with your movement, is still their top model, but it’s $200 more and it doesn’t pack down easily for travel. The Kurt Kinetic Road Machine is their top level static trainer. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be darn good, and there are ways of making it talk to your devices, after all. In the age of connected “smart” trainers that relay your data directly to a computer (and soon directly into the cloud), a standard fluid trainer doesn’t seem nearly as exciting. Support us!
