Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Has anyone tried the Kurt Kintic Breeze trainer? How well does it work? I can't see from the picture how the flywheel adjusts to the rear wheel. Thanks.

The rear wheel is held in place by arms that angle backwards. They also pivot at the bottom. So when you clamp your wheel, then sit on the bike, gravity forces it onto the rear spindle.

Thanks. Is this the best trainer in its class? Because of my budget, it allows me to choose between this, the Ascent, and the Bell Motivator. Is there one better than the other?

No experience wit this one. Based on the design, I would guess its pretty noisy, fans usually are. Don't know the others.

Don't get the ascent. They are unstable, super noisy, and utilize too many plactic parts. KK is a good company so maybe this budget trainer will be good as well. Give it a try and write us a review!
