Actually, it didn't feel too much different than the old trainer, but taking the bike on and off it is 10x easier, and that's huge. That Performance one was just such a mind warping piece of crap.

I bet you could return that performance trainer. 100% satisfaction guarantee, right?

The worst thing about trainers is that it's really not so great getting out of the saddle, so you're sort of compelled to stay seated for long periods of time. That's very uncomfortable for me. On the actual road I'm in and out of the saddle constantly. Trainers really do feel like crap when you get out of the saddle and stand on the pedals.

Does standing on the pedals feel more comfortable or natural on e-motion rollers? Regardless, I'll only ride a trainer a few times annually or to warm up at a race. The only thing that really keeps me off the road is monsoon rain, a big snowstorm or highly unusual frigid conditions. I manage to ride all winter without much problem.

I hate standing on the trainer, I feel like my bike is being abused. I have a Lemond Revmaster spin bike also, I use that for Hill training and standing on the pedals. I live in Michigan, and have a couple of months of indoor riding. I do long steady rides on my trainer, spinerval workouts on the spin bike.

Rode the trainer today for 40 minutes

I love to ride my bike but I only ride the trainer because I have to.
