For Kurt Kinetic owners...
I am planning on getting a trainer, I been doing a lot of research on trainers and I think the Kurt is the right choice. However, only if it will last. How long did your kurt kinetic trainer last? 300 bucks for a trainer is about 1/4th of my bike.. The only way I see it being worth it, is if it will last until my next bike which will cost more, hopefully.

the kurt kinetic will still be around when you have moved on to a lot more bikes. a very good trainer to use and the lifetime warranty on the trainer is gold.

I've had my KK for the last two years and it has held up great. I average 12-15 hours a week on it Jan, Feb, and March. Depending on weather it gets quite a few hours in April also.

No need to worry about durability. It will outlast your nest 10 bikes. You can buy one for $275 with shipping from 1upusa.com (excellent and reliable dealer).
