Catalogue/Indoor Training
Winter miles
Both stands do one job the same way. Clamp the rear axle into the steel frame, run the magnetic flywheel up against the tire, and the bike stops going anywhere. Resistance moves through five settings on a lever you mount at the handlebars, so load changes without getting off. Frames are alloy and carbon steel rated to 300 pounds, folding down small enough for a trunk. Noise sits under 60 decibels at the lowest setting, quiet enough to run one in an apartment in the evening. What separates them is the wheel range each clamp covers.

Before you order
The magnetic model takes wheels from 26 inches up to 700c. The five-level model is set for 26-inch wheels. Wheel range is the only spec here that can actually stop a stand from fitting your bike, so settle it before comparing anything else.
A magnetic roller against a knobby mountain tire chews the tread and gets loud fast. Riders who use these more than twice a week keep a second rear wheel with a slick trainer tire mounted on it and swap wheels instead of tires.
Assembly runs about fifteen minutes with the hardware supplied, and the legs fold flat afterwards. Neither stand has to live in the middle of the room between rides.
Four more ranges cover the rest of the house.
