Default Trainers -- 1Up USA

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
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
don't have anything to compare it to.

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

Trek 2200 the last of week of August up in Lake Placid (NY) on a

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.
