Are higher weight limit trainers available?
Hi folks, first post. Nice to be here!
I recently got a CycleOps mag trainer. I like it very much. My husband watched me riding on it and wanted to try it. Unfortunately when he got on it, it creaked, and the whole thing shuddered so much when he rode on it that I got nervous.
He's a big guy and weighs over 250 lb. Are there any trainers built heavier with higher weight limits?
Thanks,
BH

How solid was the connection between the bike and the trainer? This could make a difference along with how he was riding (standing vs sitting) and his pedal stroke.

He is getting deeply jealous of my trainer .. I have it hooked up to a Gamebike and am currently getting my rear end kicked in MX Unleashed.
So he's doing some research to see if we can get something for him. It'll be great exercise if we can! Thanks again.
