This video is about the best video I have seen on UA-cam so far for setting up a bike trainer. Thank you for the step-by-step instructions. I was finally able to set up my bike trainer. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Hey there, just watched your video on "bike trainers" and I have to say, great job! You really showcased the key features and benefits of using a bike trainer. As an avid e-bike user, I recently came across a new crowdfunding project called freebeat's Morph 2-in-1 e-Bike, and it's truly impressive. What caught my attention the most is the dual mode functionality, allowing it to be used indoors and outdoors. The fact that it can be charged while in indoor mode is a game-changer. The 750W motor and 80Nm torque ensure a thrilling ride, while the front suspension and fat tires guarantee a smooth journey on any terrain. The Smart Saddle Detection+ feature and the ability to convert indoor workout energy into CO2-free miles for outdoor rides are exceptional. I'm definitely considering supporting this project!
Just bought a trainer to keep riding through the winter months. Thank you so much for this video! Great tip about the trainer wheel too😀. Will get one through your link! Just subscribed 👍🏾
Sweet deal on that trainer for only $20. I paid $200 for this Schwinn model and finally decided to make this winter one of indoor cycling. Appreciate how clear and simple you made this setup video and the special note about using an alternate tire, thanks. One more thing, the quick release skewer, where does that go?
Hi I'm looking at possibly getting a product like this & i see some are just the stand & others have that cable that attaches to the handlebar to change the resistance. So if i bought one without the cable/resistance dial, could I just shift gears on the bike to get a harder workout? I thought the resistance from shifting alone wasn't impacted by the rear wheel but I'm not necessarily an expert so i thought i would ask
I have a cheap fragment mountain bike. And there's. It a way to put skewer on. And I m using. It with no skewer. And it's working fine. But it's noisy as hell nobbs
Most trainers are going to come with one. The axle the trainer comes with is the style of quick release the clamps on the trainer work best with. If your quick release lever looks different I would switch them out to be a little more stable on the trainer
I have a thru axle on my mountain bike and it works fine, you just obviously have to use the axle on your bike not the one that comes with your trainer.
Just set up the trainer, its exactly like the one in the video. But when i pedal the roller (or the black case) rings like an old bicycle bell ! any ideas ?
I like myWorkouts, combined with a $12 speed sensor (and HR sensor). Trainer miles aren't like road miles: you'll be in a higher gear (faster) to get noticeable resistance.
You can use a trainer with a bolt on axle as well. I used to set my wife's beach cruiser on my trainer on rainy days for her to ride inside and it worked just fine!
I've only used my trainer with a 26", 29" and a 700c wheel. Pretty much mountain bikes and road bikes. Any smaller than that and the wheel might not contact the roller anymore.
Cheap is definetly the right word for it, but hey it does the job! Always thought of upgrading to a smart trainer, can't say I use it enough to justify the cost though.

Thank you for posting this video. Very honest and straight forward.
Thanks! 🤘
Awesome tips thanks, just what I was looking for to setup my first wheel-on trainer!
Glad it helped!
Finally a video that isn't TTS reading off the sale page. Given I want to buy one of these I wanna know if it's worth it.
It's definitely been worth it to me, especially in the winter!
Would you make a video about buying/selecting the trainer?
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll add that to my video list!
I only use Axle bolt ons (I hate Quick releases). Is there any companies that do axle bolt on along with quick release for trainers?

What an amazing video! Thank you!!! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!

My bike trainer came with a replacement axel for the back wheel.
Most trainers are going to come with one. The axle the trainer comes with is the style of quick release the clamps on the trainer work best with.
If your quick release lever looks different I would switch them out to be a little more stable on the trainer
Just wanted to say thanks!
Glad it helped!
Thanks. Really helpful.
Awesome! Glad it helped! 🤘
@@YourFavoriteCyclist it really did. I had no idea how the quick release lever attached to the stand. 👍
Thank you thank you!
Happy to help!
Quick question what if you don’t have the quick release on the back rim would it work with the basic boats

@@YourFavoriteCyclist thanks
Super helpful thanks buddy
Glad it helped!
would this work if i have thru axels
I have a thru axle on my mountain bike and it works fine, you just obviously have to use the axle on your bike not the one that comes with your trainer.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Just set up the trainer, its exactly like the one in the video. But when i pedal the roller (or the black case) rings like an old bicycle bell ! any ideas ?
after a few days i was hoping to have some kind of reply :( i can't use this thing until i get rid of that dinging bell noise !!!!
Get on with it!
Can I use this with BMX bikes?
can I ?
What app to use to track mileage
I like myWorkouts, combined with a $12 speed sensor (and HR sensor). Trainer miles aren't like road miles: you'll be in a higher gear (faster) to get noticeable resistance.
I use Wahoo Fitness on the trainer with a Cateye speed and cadence sensor
Do you need quick release to use the fdw?
You can use a trainer with a bolt on axle as well. I used to set my wife's beach cruiser on my trainer on rainy days for her to ride inside and it worked just fine!
@@YourFavoriteCyclist excellent,and would you recommend about a 26" or how much would be good as far as wheel size?
I've only used my trainer with a 26", 29" and a 700c wheel. Pretty much mountain bikes and road bikes. Any smaller than that and the wheel might not contact the roller anymore.
Why is it get so friggin loud it's too loud for me to use. I'll wake the. Friggin neighbors. Bits too loud please. Help me get the volume
Oh ok it's the nobby mountbine tire that's. So noisy ok. Thanx
That suks
@@DjangoPorter put an electrical tape on it to reduce noise + rubber mats below the setup. Use higher gear on cycle if possible.
The trainer looks like an FDW. My 1st cheap trainer that I’ve ever bought - now I got the wahoo kickr snap
Cheap is definetly the right word for it, but hey it does the job! Always thought of upgrading to a smart trainer, can't say I use it enough to justify the cost though.
@@YourFavoriteCyclist
Yeah definitely - I’m somewhat of a fan of Zwift
Zero demonstration of the actual usage. We wanted to know how much noise it makes. Zero stars.
You came to the wrong video if thats what you wanted.
From the look of your gut you only ride your bike back and forth to convenience store for beer
Are you from cleveland?!
