Recently moved my trainer from garage to the house. Used this floormat to minimize vibration and protect floor from sweat, etc. This floormat has worked well so far. No complaints from my wife about noise / vibration when I'm on the trainer at 5am and it cleans up easily. I had a mild odor when it first arrived, but I let it sit out for a few days and that has dissipated. I also laid the floormat out for a few days with weight on the ends to prevent them from curling up. All in all, an excellent product.

I got injured and needed a trainer for rehab and thought it would be a good idea to use it to ride later in the winter as well. It was fairly easy to assemble and connect the bike to it. There are adapaters in the kit and while the instructions weren't great (and the link to the video is so old school technology and size) it didn't take too long to figure out. One thing I missed is the fact that you can change the COG to fit your bike better so without it it made noise. The Zwift click attached was easy to connect and so were all the electronics.

All in all pretty good and while I ended up upgrading to the zwift frame since I felt having a bike on a trainer with all the sweat and forces is not really ideal and I was too lazy to reconnect it every time its easy to use and the zwift integration is really cool.

I thought after pressing the buy button that this was one of those silly clever, but useless tech purchases that would end up in my dustbin of gadgets. However, In conjunction with my ELEMNT Roam 3, it provides me with a measure of safety I just didn't expect. The TRACKR not only alerts you of oncoming vehicles, it tells you how many, how close, and when the coast is clear. I wasn't sure how the brake light aspect worked until I was behind another TRACKR user and darned if that didn't work too! Safety is priceless, but at $249 the TRACKR is a bargain.

This is my third set of stainless steel Speedplay Zero pedals. After 1100 miles on this set, it's still too early for me to report on longevity of the new sealed bearings. I had 30,000 miles and 25,000 miles on my first and second sets. They required periodic lubrication with a grease gun and were often messy since the grease oozed from the inside of the pedal housing. The bearings were fine over their respective lifetimes, but the pedal design did not have the stainless steel completely around the body like the new version. Hence, the hard plastic wore down over time. The new version seems to take more effort to clip in and out of the pedal than the older style. It requires me to be more focused on this maneuver, but it does provide more assurance of staying clipped in under hard efforts. Since I clip in and out a lot during rides, I appreciate the two-sided entry. I can quickly clip in and get up to speed from stopping at red lights or stop signs.
