I've been using a Star Trac Spinner&reg; Pro model Spin Bike at the gym. Any thoughts about how this might stack up in relation to it?

Hi, This cycle won't stack up against the pro bike you're used to 100%. For the price, it's just not possible. BUT, with that being said, I personally haven't found a pro bike that it doesn't stack up to based on price and quality. I've had mine for a while now. Not only was set up easy (roughly 45 mins as the previous user stated) but it has been working exceptionally well since I bought it. You are most likely used to a bit more in terms of bells and whistles, but this bike cuts that out (lowering cost) while maintaining amazing quality. I would sincerely recommend this bike to anyone; it has been that great of an experience having one. Hope this helps!

I forgot to mention the Spinner Elite model is what you want to get. There is a reason why the health clubs use that model. They are better than other brands and models.

You should be prepared for the spindle to break on this exerciser. I have had two of these and they both experienced this failure. Buying this item is like throwing your money away.

I just took a close look at my RAD trainer. It is my opinion that a nutted axle will not seat correctly. I would be afraid the bike would slip out and cause injury.

It's my favorite machine (bike, stepper, treadmill). Works legs and upper body, cardio & pulmonary. I watch movies and row for an hour pretty regularly. 1000-2000 strokes. The adjustable tension/hydraulic cylinder is great. I increase resistance as a limber up. I'm 63, had open heart surgery in October, like to cycle c. 30 miles and am in decent shape. But this is great!

Gaurav, We would suggest looking at these rackets that have the highest spin and speed ratings: http://www.amazon.com/Stiga-Supreme-Table-Tennis-Racket/dp/B003JK002Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408982285&sr=8-1&keywords=stiga+supreme http://www.amazon.com/Stiga-Evolution-Table-Tennis-Racket/dp/B00EFY9F1C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408982301&sr=8-1&keywords=stiga+evolution http://www.amazon.com/Stiga-Carbon-Table-Tennis-Paddle/dp/B00EFY9F9E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1408982302&sr=8-2&keywords=stiga+evolution Hope this helps!

I have a 4 tier spinner with a metal corkscrew and a glass ball inside it. Its pretty heavy and I bought it 10 months ago and its on 24hrs a day. And still going strong. I highly recommend it.

Cool news....I actually have a jar of red wheel bearing grease in front of me...heading for he basement and the brand new Schwinn 430! I will try loosening the bolts. The squeaking on mine started after 8 minutes and I have already doused it with WD-40. I hope the loosening of the bolts will fix the noise. I LOVE this machine. I also added cut out carpet pieces to the foot pedals to keep my shoes from making noise when they come off the pedals. The best part of this elliptical is the compact size and the sturdiness. I feel like I have made a good investment...even with the noise.

Since I'm not familiar with "spinning" (I'm in my senior years).however it does allow you the use of your bike inside...it is very well built and holds the bike so that it is very stable...however, the instructions are poorly printed and there is no "800" number to call for help...to summarize, it does the job and has great reviews from the others...

Honestly, I do not know. When I initially started spin I used it but after a couple of weeks it got more annoying then helpful. Plus, by that time I had gotten used to the seat. It fit the spin bike I was using very well.

I have no experience with FitBit in a spin class, hope someone else can answer this for you.

I just bought mine before Christmas. So, I have just a few days to ride it. But, I do like what I have seen so far. This being my second year to compete in triathlon, I think this is going to be a good bike for me for this year. Compared to my first triathlon bike, it's a lot lighter in weight and handles well! I hope this helps your decision.

The hand wringer is as affective as the foot pedal. My assumption is that even being one system/device for both, it works differently. I just checked mine by watching close while spinning both ways. It was an independent spinn-off. Also the pedal is very sturdy. The pedal will never deteriorate and break if you keep that part away from water with an average use.

Most spin bikes I've seen have heavy solid wheels and if yours is the same, might be difficult to mount the magnet to it as it's designed for wheel spokes. If you can rig it somehow, should work fine, but you'll have to figure what diameter you want for the wheel for distance as the unit calculates based on circumference. Maybe measure what you get with a regular bike for a more accurate representation than your spinner.

If your indoor spin bike have handlebar, you definitely can install TopeakRide on it.

Interesting question. Obviously, I can't speak to how comfortable you will be swapping out the existing rear wheel wheel skewer (recommended) for the one that comes with the Kurt Kinetic trainer. I found it to be pretty trivial; not to mention that the Kurt Kinetic trainer comes with a DVD that shows you how to setup everything - including changing out the skewer. I would think that after watching these videos, if you are still uncomfortable, you could take your bike and trainer down to your local bicycle shop for some one-on-one instruction. Will you be able to use your bicycle on the street after setting it up for your Kurt Kinetic trainer? ABSOLUTELY YES! My preference is to always ride outdoors as opposed to indoor rides. I love the scenery and fresh air! :) The Kurt Kinetic trainer and my subscription to TrainerRoad.com are good alternatives when there's bad weather outside or I simply don't have time to travel to an outdoor location due to scheduling conflicts.

I have the same problem with my total gym 1500. I came across your amazon.com post while searching for a replacement wheel. I found a store that sells replacement parts for the total gym 1500 model if you are still looking for rollers. I don't know if they are legit, but they say they sell wheels and other replacement parts for the total gym. Also, one thing that was indicated by them on their site is that "Our parts are very high quality after-market replacements and are not official or endorsed by Total Gym Fitness, LLC." I hope this helps you because I know how frustrating it is when looking for a round plastic wheel and finding out that no one sells them.
