Trainers -- 1Up USA

HL said:

Anyone have experience with this one? Reviews on roadbikereview.com
are very favorable, and the product web site (www.1upsua.com) shows a
persuasive comparison vs. the the Cycleops. User opinions and advice
will be appreciated.

I just received a 1up last week. I'm using it to recover from a serious ankle injury so I've only done some very short/light "workouts" but it seems quiet and very well-built. It's my first trainer so I don't have anything to compare it to.

I was going to get a Kurt Kinetic because it gets great reviews as well, but after talking with the friendly owner at 1up I went with it because of the exceptional warranty (lifetime), 60-day money back (plus they pay for return shipping), their reputation for excellent customer service, and the fact it's made in the US (most others are made in China, of course).

I'm recovering from a shoulder injury myself. Took a spill with my
Trek 2200 the last of week of August up in Lake Placid (NY) on a
training ride for the Ride for the Roses.

I've a 1up. It's well designed and constructed. Definitely durable. I'd
recommend it.

Buuuut.... if you're in the market for training equipment, I'd urge to
look into rollers. Nothing beats the real thing, but riding rollers
more closely approximates it than being locked into a trainer.
