Good for winter  RebeccaJenkins, Alexandra
Good affordable trainer for those freezing, foggy winters. Great for interval training. When I changed MTB tyres to slicks, it made a massive difference to the noise level!

When it rains...  NicTatham, EMPIRE BAY
Can't go wrong when on special - as it is (often). Very noisy though with MTB tyres (I use Crossmarks). Lack of resistance can be rectified a lot by tightening the roller bolts, but be warned, it'll remove tread as a result - best used with a slick(ish) tyre if possible...

Good Value  BrettBailey, Woodend Beach
I found this unit easy to use. Noise is minimal with people watching TV in next room. Great workout if using higher gears. I am using a road bike and it's fine. First trainer I have used.

Excellent Value  IANTHOMPSON, Wanganui
Great value for money, impressed with how quiet it is especially compared to my old one. Resistance is good, equal to road riding at 30km/hr flat road in same gear. Probably won't have enough resistance for efforts but if you are serious you do your efforts on the road, even if its raining.

Very Good  DamonWoods, Bryndwr
Value for money, only downside that I can see is, if you're running an off road mountain bike tyre it gets very noisy (as expected) but the vibration causes the adjuster thread to unwind as it hasn't got a locking mechanism. But other than that very good solid construction.

Tranzx Trainer - JD113Q  GeorgeUdy, Thames
After reading the previous reviews I had some concerns about the noise but I have found that the noise is very low level. Others can watch TV without the noise being intrusive.

Good Value  BerinMcLennan, Launceston
I have found this to be a great value trainer. I understand the concerns about lack of resistance, especially with the lower gearing of a MTB, but I find it works perfectly for what I want to do (base training whilst waiting for my collarbone to heal) with a couple of gears to spare. Not too noisy in my situation but might be for folks living in apartments. Now if only I could overcome the boredom.

Great Trainer  DavidBiggs, BAYSWATER
Great trainer, good solid construction and getting the bike locked in is dead easy. The resistance is a little light but still enough to really work up a sweat.

Good trainer  DavidRae, Buderim
This is a simple to use, well constructed trainer, that does the job it's designed for admirably.
With a new knee on one side and a new hip on the other, the cycling movement is exactly what the Doctor ordered, with out having to worry about getting damaged all over again by some idiot in a motor vehicle.
This trainer was an excellent value for money, and the service provided by Torpedo 7 super fast. Thank you.

This is the JD-113Q  JeffLumkin, GLADESVILLE
I received this item super quickly. My first purchase with T7 and I must admit I am very impressed. This trainer is excellent! I expected the non-Quick release version for the price. Excellent Value and solid build. My only concern is the lack of resistance, but changing gears yeilds the same results.
