About the CycleOps brand

Cycleops are world famous for producing high quality cycle trainers. However, the company origins weren’t in cycling, believe it or not they started with producing curtain rods! The story goes that the Graber brothers sold their window products company and needed something to do. They experimented in their garage and came up with a best-selling bike rack. In 1989, Chris and Sara Fortune purchased the company when it was selling 80,000 bike racks a year. In 1990, a high-end brand of bike rack was launched, branded as “Saris.” Today Saris is a leading supplier to the bicycle industry in over 30 countries. The company expanded in 1999 by acquiring the Cycleops brand of bike trainer. As usual they set out to improve on the design and by 2001 they created a new trainer frame and in 2002 they launched the world’s first progressive resistance Cycleops magnetic trainer. It was in 2001 that they heard about a hub that could measure power output and they jumped at the chance to bring this product to cyclists. They bought the company that invented Powertap and started a new round of Cycleops cycling innovations.

Review from Cycling Plus

This entry-level trainer will suit those who just want to get on with it with the minimum of fuss. If you do want to play however, you can use one of five presets, which adjusts the trainer for different coarse load settings...the construction is solid without excessive weight and it took minutes to get it going out of the box...the multilingual instructions are to the point - "hold on to the bike when you release it out of the trainer or your bike will fall over was hopefully not aimed at our nanny-state adverse public...In use the Mag is typical of most magnetic drag units with some biopacing in the lower gears. The adjustable presets are very effective and dramatically alter the trainers feel taking it from a sludgy power tool to a free revvin' buzz bomb that's very characteristic of the original air-fan turbos.

In conclusion...

Basic and comprehensive, for £80 a winner!

Rating: 9/10

Review from 220 Triathlon

CycleOps' mag trainer offers great value for money. It's simple to set up and use, and boasts five setting adjustments on the main unit to vary your workouts...the Mag is relatively quiet, and the sturdy frame, like on its older brother the Fluid2, is more than welcome. When not in use it folds flat for easy storage or transportation.

In conclusion...

Good value for money trainer

Investment in the future I told my wife this turbo trainer was an investment in the future. I have a young son & my wife often works nights. The turbo trainer works great for me because, while Josh is asleep, I can crank out the miles- therefore ensure he has a fit & health dad to go cycling with in the future. The quality of the parts is immediately obviously. It’s easy to assemble & easily adjustable. It does exactly what it says on the tin. It difficult to find any criticism after 3 weeks- it was the right price, it got delivered in 2 days & it hasn’t missed a beat yet- absolutely spot on. The noise is minimal; I can still easily hear the radio over the wereing. Incidentally you need a radio or entertainment system of some description- spending hours on end watching the back of my garage door is nothing short of sole destroying- heart monitors are also useful to keep you from burning out or taking it too easy. Great bit of kit & great service from wiggle. 26 February 2010

Top Turbo Trainer! This is my first turbo trainer, and I've wanted one for a while to supplement rides through the winter. I've had it a couple of weeks now, and used it quite a bit. It is super simple, and you can pretty much use it straight out of the box. The bike sits in it without any movement, and is a totally stable riding platform. You can stand up and pedal flat out on it and it doesn't budge. When using it, it is quite noisy, and whistles like a jet engine when you're flat out, but my wife hasn't complained yet so it can't be that noisy!!! When finished, the legs fold in and its pretty compact considering how solid it is when the bike's on it. To sum up, I can't compare this to other trainers, but for me where I might have a quick hour to train in during a busy life, its perfect for those dark winter nights. Definately consider this trainer. 04 January 2010

Does what it says on the tin Very good service from Wiggle, i set the trainer up in a matter of minutes with minimum fuss. it looks neat and is well made. performance wise, it is exactly what i expected, i am not an experienced cyclist so it is just the job for me. resistance can be altered according to requirements and fine tuning is done with your bikes own gears which is absolutely fine. i'm very pleased with my purchase, its not top of the range but it is certainly good enough for an amateur like myself! 04 January 2010

Great value for money Excellent piece of kit for the money, and quiet too, can use this in my apartment. Very happy. 13 February 2013

Answer:

The lever end of the skewer fits in a slot on the trainer. So unless your bike skewer lever is the same shape, you need to use the skewer. But it's easy enough to swap over, leave the wheel in the bike and just slide the skewer out & replace.

Ease of set up

This is my first venture into turbo trainers, and plan to use my Giant scr3 on the turbo.
Is there anything else I should get, ie. a training wheel, and how easily does the rear wheel fit onto to trainer?

Answer:

You don't have to get anything. The trainer comes with a skewer for the rear wheel. Bear in mind that the trainer will wear the rear tyre fairly heavily. Hope this helps.

Answer:

Bikes fit quite easily into trainers, this one is supplied with a Quick release to replace your existing one which makes fitting easier and more secure. You literally hold the bike in the slots then rotate the lever, then move the resistance unit into place, it should take less than 30 seconds. We suggest using a trainer tyre like the Vittoria Zaffiro linked at the bottom of the page, these save your tyres and are designed to run quieter and reduce heat build up, so a spare wheel is a good option to save changing your tyre each time you use the trainer.

Can you use this with a non quick release wheel?

I have an old mtb which I was looking to use with this trainer, however it does not have a quick release rear wheel.

Can I fit my current wheel to this trainer or do I need to buy an adapter for the trainer or a new wheel for the bike?

Thanks

Could you please advise how the resistance works on the trainer. Do you operate the gears as normal or is the resistance on the trainer ?

Answer:

The trainer has 5 resistance settings which you need to change manually before you start, then you use the bikes gears as normal once you're underway.

sbr2009

Answer:

I find that if you set the trainer at its middle setting, you can let the gears do the work as it is on the same principal as on the road.
The resistance setting lets you feel you are hitting an incline. Hard setting...you come right down on the gears, easier but the resistance will not let up.

Do you get the front support for the wheel with this trainer?

Also dose it come with a spare tyre or will I need to purchase this seperatly to prevent my current one from wearing down.

Answer:

Mine didn't come with a front wheel support, there isn't one needed. They also don't supply the spare front tyre. It would take ages to run down the tread on your tyre. Worth picking up a spare!

Answer:

as long as you have a quick release skewer through your back wheel you should be ok i would have thought.

There is a good range of adjustment for wheel widths as i had to do some serious screwing to get it to fit my skinny road tyre.

I'd go for it - as its wiggle you can always return ti!

How do I actually change the resistance on the Cycleops Mag Classic?

I'm peering at all the knobs and spinny things but don't know what to do to increase the resistance. I have the bike gears in the big ring but it's still really easy to pedal. (And yes, I am a complete numpty.)

Answer:

On the back of the cycle trainer there is a knob near to the magetic (big metal heavy part on the rear of the trainer). This adjusts the resistance when cycling.

Answer:

We found that if you turn the knob to loosen the resistance roller to "load" your bike into the trainer and then tighten it up again until it's quite tight against the tyre, this should give it the initial resistance. Then use your bike gears as you would on the road and once you get into the top gear, these should work as normal and increase the resistance on your bike.

Answer:

Think you could if you had smooth road tires. The training will fit fine on quick release mountings that I have on my specialised stumpjumper mountain bike. I have schwalbe road tires on this and it's ok for basic training but I have had to adjust the resisitance due to the extra tyre width.
