- In this Sportneer bike trainer review, I show you how to set it up and compare it to other indoor bike trainers.

For an inexpensive bike trainer, I was surprised at how good it was. My experience in the past with inexpensive indoor bike trainers was that they should more than likely be avoided. The ease of mounting a bike to this trainer and the fact that it has 6 different resistance settings make this a good choice if you're a beginner triathlete/cyclist or on looking for a budget friendly bike trainer.

Thank you so much for your review. Extremely helpful to help me choose which bike trainer to buy!
I found one at the thrift shop that was in like-new condition, and this video helped with the set up since it didn’t come with instructions, but your review made it very simple. I also appreciate that you included a short clip of the noise so that I can confirm that the noise I hear when using it is normal for this trainer. Thanks for your video!
Nice thrift find!
Thanks for this review. I commute to work but when snow and ice come in Canada ... I miss my daily workout! Will buy this one and remembrer how I love summer days❤️
Come to India every day is summer
I just found that trainer for $70 USD. Was doing some research on budget trainers and found your video. I’ll go for that one! Thanks for your help!!🙏🏼😊
thanks I order that for few ride in winter away from home and didnt want to spend thousand on a second trainer....now if you do a lot of indoor riding a great smart trainer is worth but for the occasional ride indoor when its raining or too windy to ride this works
Thanks for the review
Thank you for the review
Helps a lot, thank you for your review
Glad it was helpful!
It would also be interesting to see how long the Sportneer trainer will last...thanks for the review!
Thank you for review. This is new to me and you explained very well. I'm not an athlete.... Just live in NY and want to ride bike in the winter, inside. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
I also live in NY and am not an athlete. Got mine and am very pleased :)
Thanks for the great video and review. Quick question. All of these trainers look like the require you to replace the back wheel hub. I don't have a bike that the center hub just pulls out? I'm assuming that eliminates any of these trainer options?
great review, thank you! there is a 'fluid' version of this as well - much more expensive but what you showed should be sufficient for a rookie :)
The Sportneer fluid trainer is less than $30 more than the magnetic trainer on Amazon Canada now, Feb 2022.
just what I was looking for thanx!
Thanks!
I found one for $79 USD. I might pull that trigger after seeing your review. Thanks!
Very honest and to the points, great review! Thanks!!
Thanks for watching!
As a lively and cheerful user, I'm thrilled to discover this new project! Very honest and to the point review, thanks for sharing! By the way, I recently started using the freebeat Morph 2-in-1 eBike, and it has been an amazing riding experience. The outstanding feature that caught my attention is its ability to be charged indoors! This is a game-changer for me as I can conveniently recharge the bike while enjoying my indoor workouts. The brushless 750W motor and 80Nm torque of the Morph eBike provide impressive speed and power on any terrain. It's truly a revolutionary eBike!
any recommendations for an indoor trainer tire - seems that my 27.5 x 2.10 size is very rare (?) - i know i can use my current outdoor tire but imagine it will wear out quickly
Just wonder will it depreciate tires very quick ? And how often need to change the tires?
Do you know If there is a setup guide for attaching resistance wheel? Mine came unattached.
thx for the video, i bought a similar one but seems to not fit with my wheel size, i have a road bike of around 580mm dia. anything i could do. could this sportneer one adjust to different wheel sizes? thx
Thank you
Thanks for the review Dusty. My wife wants a trainer.
There is a Sportneer Fluid trainer but there are no resistance settings. I'm not sure which would be better, magnetic with resistance settings or fluid without. There isn't much price difference, $20-$30 Canadian.
Did you get one after all? What do you think of it?
Hi. When I clamp my back wheel in place there is about an inch between my back wheel and the resistance wheel. Can't seem to move the resistance wheel up to meet my back wheel. Ideas? Thanks.
Thank you.
I purchased this trainer as well but I feel 0 resistance with the resistance controller.
Hey man. I just got into biking this summer. I usually bike 15 miles a day 5 day’s a week. My average speed is usually 11 mph. I don’t go crazy hard. I want to get a trainer for rainy days & the winter , is this worth it for someone who rides like i do? I don’t want to damage my bike, I’m ok spending a little more if it’s worth it
I haven't riddent a bike for years, and need to practice changing gears. When using a bike trainer, can you change gears (the back ones)? Thanks!
Wondering will this fit a 29” wheel
Has anyone else experienced issues with the resistance wheel remaining in contact with the tire? Once the tire starts moving, the resistance wheel moves away from tire. It doesn't seem tight enough.
What are the best settings to choose when connecting this trainer to Zwift?
Is the resistance on it steady?
I have a foldable bike, and a rear bolt axle, will this trainer work?
Nice bro...
How did u make it stand vertically?
will it work for a MTB ?
Not mentioned here, getting the back wheel aligned with the axel holders is a giant pain in the ass every time
a used on for this on amazon warehouse deal now in Canada is 230 Canadian :(((
I bought this on Amazon and some of the comments said it was very loud. Mine works great but it is very loud from the tire vibration or something. Any ideas on how to make it less loud? Thanks
Ear muffs work or turn the radio on full volume to drown out the trainer
Can something like this be used in the back yard? Not in rain, obviously, but just to combine stationary bike with fresh air.
Sorry for the late reply. Yes, absolutely you can use it outside. Just make sure you're on a flat/hard surface.
Hey Dusty! Any help for how to remove the bike from the trainer? I am having a lot of trouble getting the side without the lever to release. Sportneer cant be contacted. Thanks!
Hmm, have you had any luck since posting this??
@@RunningWithDusty YES! I was advised to wiggle the axel while pushing down at an angle. MY problem was that the axel was attached so tightly, I had to do more of a "violent shake" lol So, if anyone else has this problem, the answer is "push down and wiggle harder" :D
@@FrauRommel13 good to know! Glad you got it out
do you know why we need to use the axel provided?
Hi Nathalie, sorry for the late reply. The axel provided fits/locks into the trainer better. Sometimes your existing axel will be fine but for most, you'll want to change to the one provided.
@@RunningWithDusty no worries i actually use the one provided its not that bad to do the switch as i ride same bike outdoor thanks again
thank you, great review, fyi, sportneers rose in price since this video was made
What do you think of the Sportneer Fluid trainer?
I haven't tried that one. I've tried a Cycleops Fluid trainer and it was very nice (also much more $ than a Sportneer)
@@RunningWithDusty Is this the same trainer made by Saris?
I just looked it up, Cycleops is now under the Saris brand. So yes, same trainer!
dumb question.. do you leave the trainer's axel in your bike or change it every time you want to switch from outside riding to using the trainer? thanks in advance!
I change mine all the time, although you're probably fine to leave the trainer axel in.
I had the Wahoo Kickr and I was fine with just leaving the Wahoo axel in no matter where I was riding.
Will it work for a 29er?
My axel is much larger and this skinny one does not fit my bike...guess I'm sending this thing back unless anyone knows of a workaround? I'm riding a Canyon Grail.
I bought this on Amazon and some of the comments said it was very loud. Mine works great but it is pretty loud from the tire vibration or something. Any ideas on how make it a little less loud? Thanks
I recently bought this trainer and have to say I’m not impressed. The overall resistance is very poor and it is quite loud when you’re training. This item received high recommendation from Amazon, but I recommend you pass on this and get one with better resistance and much quieter.
For an inexpensive trainer it does the job. I use the Hammer Cycleops as my daily trainer but it costs 10x more than the Sportneer
Hi Dusty
Good Video. I purchased the trainer but I can't ride it because it is so noisy. My wife hears the vibrations in the house when I am in the garage. Here is a link to the video: czcams.com/video/WubrZOk0Ouk/video.html
Is your trainer this loud when you get going fast?
