Magnetic Resistance Cycling Trainer Information
Magnetic trainers (also called mag trainers) use adjustable magnetic resistance to create drag against your bike's rear wheel. The flywheel has rotating magnets that create a set amount of resistance as they’re engaged. To increase or decrease the amount of resistance you must shift the gears of your bike, or dismount your bike and adjust on the trainer with a resistance knob.
Know that using a trainer like the Conquer Indoor Bike Trainer Portable Exercise Bicycle Magnetic Stand inside means that you "lose" the environmental resistance factors like wind, inclines and other road conditions. Also, keep in mind there is noise associated with riding your bike indoors on a cycling trainer! Sound acts differently off walls/ceilings than it does outside on the road. Some ways to combat this are to use an exercise/trainer mat or replace the bike's rear tire with a slick racing tire.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Update: Just completed S3 of GoT (~30h, 100% on the trainer). I can't tell a performance difference from the first day I used it... Not that I'm really serious about exercise, but I did purchase an inexpensive speedometer for the bike (I typically travel ~23 miles per episode) and a heart rate monitor (I average ~140 bbm, can pedal hard enough to get ~170)... I'm sure some of my metrics are bogus, but it gives me some ability to compare workouts on this. Sorry if this seems outside the scope of reviewing this trainer, but the reason I'm adding this metric info is because I think what I've built is a INCREDIBLE VALUE for ~$100. I've pieced together an exercise bike that provides basic metrics, definitely helps with calorie burn and leg muscle tone... It's a perfect fit for "marathon" tv watchers, and is powered entirely by me (except for a couple watch batteries for heart/distance metrics). Way better than my ridculously heavy, 1300W treadmill--yes, I realize I'm comparing apples/oranges a little here... Once spring gets here, I can easily store the trainer, then use the bike outside. This is a very good, low spending risk, option. 5+ stars.
It is solidly made, and very quick to assemble (really no assembly)
Very nice that it comes with wheel quick release rear wheel skewer to fit the trainer, and front wheel stand.
However, for low noise & a hard enough workout I ended up buying:
> The red trainer tire: Slick for no noise $40
> A shimano cassette that has a tiny 11 tooth high gear $20
> Small 26" tube and rim tape to support the tiny red tire $7
Note: don't make the mistakes of did. I bought a second wheel for $40 to have a quick change from quiet trainer to road-worthy. My bike has a 7 speed Shimano back cassette. The new wheel had a 7 speed Shimano FREEWHEEL WITH 13 teeth high gear. They both work on this bike, but do not share inte changeable cassettes. A "freewheel wheel" is cheaper & weaker- the way the bearings support the axle. (Per good Sheldon brown webpage). And I had to adjust all the derailleur stops to have it shift properly on the freewheel wheel. I needed a 11 teeth high gear to get a good workout, so had to move the red tire & tube to the old wheel with cassettes & get a 11tooth to 28 tooth cassette.
Finally loving my quiet workouts!!!
So, this is a very basic entry level trainer because it has:
> Light drag for the rear tire; just a little magnet drag; no air drag squirrel cage; no flywheel; no fluid drag system. Just a light magnet drag.
> No quick release to get bike on & off; must screw these bolts in & out and fine tune.\
> no quick release for roller pressure on rear tire. Bend down and screw it in trial & error for enough drag without much noise.
About noise:
For me it was a balancing act to get enough of a workout without overtightening the roller which creates a lot of tire squeaking/ deforming noise. I tried tire pressures from around 50 up to the max of 87psi. Still hard to get a lot of trainer drag without slick tire squeaking/ clicking noise.
1. It is not really that the TRAINER that makes any noise at all. It is quiet, but creates very little drag with it's little one-setting magnet.
2. A TIRE with ANY tread will generate noise. Even at a slow low gear for Physical Therapy for an ACL injury, my neighbors were looking over the fence for the strange noise.
3. With a SLICK tire, the noise ranges from near zero (with just enough roller pressure so the tire will not slip on the roller), to "Pretty squeaky/ clicky-noisy" if you press the stainless roller too much more into the tire to increase the workout intensity. The tire simply deforms so much around the roller it has to squeak and slide around, making a pretty loud clicking sound.
Edit: I realized the tire only squeaks loudly a couple mnutes, then gets totally quiet when it warms up. These tire "clicks" sound so mechanical I could have sworn they were coming from inside the roller /drag mechanism. But it's the tire / roller slip that goes away when it gets warmer & stickier.
4. So the actual noise occurs even with a slick tire if you want a hard workout because the stand has very little built in magnetic friction. No flywheel/ no air or fluid drag. So for a light workout it can be quiet. (I'm going to my highest gear on my 21 speed to get more drag)
5. A partial solution for me is to change shimano cassettes and go from a 13 tooth highest gear to a 11 teeth high gear. This makes the wheel spin faster> harder workout> still low enough roller pressure on red trainer tire to be very quiet (only chain & sprocket noise).
I read other reviews saying they wished the bought a better trainer. After a day using this, I understood why. (Low drag on this one, no quick release roller or bike holder, Also, the magnetic drag is sort of a clicky on & off drag ,as if your chain is contributing vibration into your ride; but it's really the magnet drag working properly. So air drag or fluid drive trainers can create a lot more drag without the little clicks, and a flywheel on a better model trainer makes for a more realistic ride feeling
