I just got a bike and a trainer, however I live in a downstairs apt, and it is very LOUD. Is there anything I can do to reduce the noise level on the trainer. Any tricks, tips?
The noise doesnt bother me, but im sure it bothers the ppl above me

Do you have a magnet, fluid or wind trainer? Each produces a different kind of noise.

If it is a wind trainer, you are SoL as far as noise goes. Honestly, though, I had one for years and loved it and never had a complaint from my neighbors, just pick courteous hours to ride.

If you have a fluid or mag trainer and it is that loud, Bob is probably right in his assumption that you are using a treaded tire or on an uneven surface. Otherwise, I severely question the quality of your trainer.

All in all, my neighbors have kids they scream at and scream right back. They watch their TV’s ridiculously loud at all hours of the day and night. The amount of noise I make on my trainer is a drop in the bucket.

I want to get a small peice of gym equipment for my lounge room, just for when im watching tv or something. But i dont know whats better, so just want to know whats more effective for weight loss!

I’d say the elliptical. I always feel like I get a better workout with that as opposed to the bicycle. Probably because the elliptical is more of a full body motion instead of just your legs.

Go to a local gym and spend 20 minutes on the bike and then 20 on the elliptical and see which one works you out better.

I recently purchased a magnetic bicycle trainer. The directions are there, but it doesn’t quite show where the skewer goes, and how to put the bike on it.

If you don’t have a quick release connector just connect the trainer to the axle. The skewer is to replace the liter one that is on the bike. The bike that I use on my trainer doesn’t have the quick release but has the solid axle with nuts. It works fine on the trainer.

Riding on trainers is very tough on tires, and can quickly wear through a tire. I would suggest either a tire made specifically for indoor riding, such as the Hometrainer, a tire that’s made to be very durable, such as the armadillo, or a tire that you have decided is no longer fit for road use. Just because there’s not enough tread to keep you upright doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty for your trainer!

Happy riding!
