Heavy-weight stand for winter indoor use?
Hello,
I am new to the forums so please let me know if this question has been answered elsewhere or if I otherwise insert foot in mouth.
I'm in the process of purchasing a Worksman cruiser for myself for my 30th birthday and want to also get a stand for indoor use (since my birthday is in January and I live in Maine).
Does anyone have any recommendations for a heavy-duty stand? I weigh 375.
Thanks!

By stand do you mean trainer?

Buy some Nokian carbide-studded tires and you can train by riding around the neighborhood, back and forth from the store, and so on.

As far as I know Kurt Kinetics only mention of weight limitation is with respect to their Rock and Roll model, in that they suggest riders over 250 lbs use a stationary trainer [Road Machine or Cyclone] rather than their Rock and Roll model.
They have an UNCONDITIONAL LIFETIME WARRANT -- https://www.kurtkinetic.com/lifetime_warranty.php as such, I don't see any concerns over rider's weight.
I suspect you could drop them a note, including your question and the make and model of bike you have to see what they say?

I was told the KK's all top out at the 250lb weight-limit. I bought the CycleOps Mag 2 tha thas some ridiculous weight limit of 800lbs or something. The CycleOps is a fine trainer and Ive had zero issues with it. I MUCH prefer the open road but with the icy roads fast approaching, Im happy I have the CycleOps as a back-up.

+3. I only get on that when I absolutely HAVE to. As others have said, dress for ridding outdoors and put on studded tires.
It was 35 with a 15 mph wind today and I just grabbed the belaclava and did a 54 mile 'recovery' ride. Nothing better than the crisp air.

If I ever buy one it is going to be the 1up USA CPR A-2000. It has lifetime warranty, free shipping and free return satisfaction guaranty. If nothing else, call them up and check on any weight limits. Check it out

there are some Spin Trainers, like the ones thru J&B,Sunlite , fairly low cost, adjustable.
Rugged.. costs about like decent trainer stands ..
takes 9/16" pedals so you can pull the road bike's , and use them.
improve the saddle .. sweat up a storm of your own ...
Clean up he road bike and ride it outside when the weather breaks.
