Tranzx Indoor Trainer  Trevor Playford, Papakowhai
Great product. Didn't seem too noisy. Would be great to get some demo trainer program with it.

Cheap but noisy  James McWha, Bryndwr
Not bad value for money however it is very noisy compared with other trainers I have used. Quick release bracket is good.

Tranzx Indoor Trainer-JD111  Juliana Eu, Auckland CBD
As a novice biker, took me an hour to figure how to work the Tranzx. Instruction booklet could be better. Also had trouble with the release lever which didn't lock nor release as per instruction booklet. Called Customer Service and they were of no help other than to ask me to take it to a bike shop for a check. Thankfully bike shop solved the problem. The lever was stiff due to lack of lubrication. Thought Trainer should come in good working order. Was an inconvenience to have to take Trainer to bike shop.

Pretty good  Rhys Bailey, Palmerston North
Good quality construction for the price. Very easy to set up and mount and dismount bike. I have never used a trainer before so don't have anything to compare to but thought this made a bit of noise especially at high speed. Otherwise very happy.

Indoor Trainer  Lee Keighley, Te Atatu South
Awesome - delivery was fantastic. Ordered at 10.30pm and it arrived the next day. A little bit noisier than I expected but it has great resistance variation.

Very Cool  Andrew Tollison, Stokes Valley
Easy to set up and use - semi slicks are ok but I guess it would be quieter with slicks - Very Happy

Great value!  Bruce Kenah, Rotorua Central
Quiet. Cheap Cheap Cheap. I owned a top of the line cateye trainer once, this is quieter, this is heaps better value for money. Easy to install/remove bike.

Graham, Hamilton  Graham Hardaker, Hamilton North
I am extremely pleased with the trainer. I use the computer on my bike to check my revs, and the gears on my bike to control the work-rate. I am impressed with the workout and think that it will improve my cycling.

Sooo quiet  David-Jon Wheeler, CASHMERE -CHCH
This is the second indoor trainer I've used and I can't believe how quiet it is. I even managed a phone conversation for 20min, with the caller wondering why I was out of breath. Cheers Tranzx for a great product, cheers Torpedo7 for a great price (as always)

good solid trainer  Mark Ward, Greerton
Solid construction, but still pretty light. Nice and quiet (with slick tyres). Quieter and smoother than some more expensive trainers I tried out in the local stores.

GREAT PRICE, GREAT TRAINER  GLENYS MOY, MAIRANGI BAY
Have used this all winter and in spin class. No louder than the more expensive brands, has all the gadgets you need, certainly puts you though your paces, compact, lightweight to transport but solid construction, and most importantly easy to use. Fantasic value for money :o)

Nice  Chris Taylor, Cambridge
Yeah, it makes a bit of noise, but not as much as I thought it would and no more than a $400 trainer from another store. Certainly does the job.

Quiet & Solid  Thor R, Tawa
Nice little trainer, easy to set up.
Good for testing different bike configurations.
It's solid (holds up to a hammering from a big guy like me 6'4” 95Kg).
Nice and quiet - using it with a completely slick tyre it's almost whisper quiet.
Getting a slicky for the MTB so I can throw that on and play with the set up too.

Graet Trainer for the Price  Mark Lockyer, UPPER HUTT
First time I have used a trainer, easy to set up. I have been able to put my road bike on and easily change to my son's mountain bike within a few minutes.

All Good  Sarah Dickson, Inglewood
First time using anything like this so don't have anything to compare it with but it seems very very good, Easy enough to set up and to get the bike in and out etc.. Seems to be very stable even when biking quiet hard. Comes with everything you need and well the price is of course great compared to others I priced in shops!
Also folds up to be quite flat which I found handy for when not using it :)

Great  Tom Mackintosh, AVONDALE -AUCKLAND
Great trainer, easy to setup and use- just gutted that the price dropped by $80 a few weeks after I brought mine :~(

Excellent!  Jacqui McMillan, BRYNDWR
Very cool trainer. So easy to set up and use, love being able to control the tension with just a flick of the finger. Very quiet and the quick release is brillant Love it!!

Seems good  Trevor Yates, Auckland
Have only borrowed a trainer before. Tranx is easy to set up and seems well constructed. Resistance adjuster is good bonus for the price. Let's see how it all lasts.

Very good trainer  Rafael Lenssen, Pukekohe
Great value for money, easy to set up and to use.

Value for money  Andrew Hare, Waimate
I have used a wind trainer for years and hated it (noisy).
But this trainer is almost enjoyable to use (if there is every such a thing).

pretty happy  Chris Bolstad, Hamilton
In general, buying one of the cheapest of anything means being prepared for "cheapness" but I am VERY happy with the quality of this trainer, for example, the wingnut adjuster and the tension bar are all etched, anodised, extruded aluminium, and the load adjusment lever's clamp is also alloy with clip-in bar diameter compensation spacers instead of crappy tape or rubber, VERY nice work.
My frame is not square though so the bike wobbles a bit on a flat concrete floor.
