I recently bought, assembled and tested the Balanceform Bike Trainer. I have to say it’s probably the best budget tire-on bike trainer on the market right now. Setup was straight forward, I did find that the instructions were a little lacking, but heck that’s why I’m here to help out.
After setting up the bike I knew the aggressive mountain bike tire would be loud. So, I purchased a smooth tire to lower the noise levels down to a point where I could listen to music or watch a video.
