If you are not going to use it to improve your road biking skills and to stay in shape during times when you can't (or don't want to) be outside on your "real" bike, then you should be looking at some other type of cycle excerciser. This isn't for you. The Rev Master can substitute for an add-on cycle excerciser that you use with your own bike. Because it is more compact and it's set up all the time, you might get more use out of it than you would from a bolt-on. Although expensive, quality just oozes out of the Rev Master. There are many nice touches - combination SPD/toe clip & strap pedals, a seat post adjustable for reach as well as height that you can mount a proper bicycle road saddle on, if you don't like the one it comes with (which is a pretty good one, in any case). The only thing I don't like about it is that I can't adjust the (one piece) bar/stem high enough...Read more 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: By PainMaestro "WinoFino" (Chicago, USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Lemond RevMaster Sport (Misc.) I did not buy mine here, but I've had a Lemond Revmaster for about 3 years now. Although I clean it, no further adjustments have been needed, and I use it pretty regularly. The ride is smooth, and the methods of adjusting the seat and handlebars is brilliant. They don't rattle loose, and even when I do extensive standing spinning, the bike feels solid. I do recommend a heavy mat, though, since this sucker is HEAVY. You can move it some distances lifting it and rolling it, but to really move it it's necessary to take apart the front flywheel or it's just too cumbersome. Compared to the Johnny G spin cycles, which are pure junk, this is a Rolls Royce of spin bikes. It is adjustable in all planes, and unlike Schwinn or Johnny G spinners, that includes a front/back slide on the handlebars. Overall an excellent, solid product. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: Lemond RevMaster Sport (Misc.) Exceptionally well built and built to last. Get a few spin bike videos like spinerval and this a better, cheaper and more compact option than a treadmill with less maintanance requirement. Been using mine for a couple of years and just changed the friction pad and it didn't even need to be changed. I own alot of fitness equipment and this is the best purchase I've made. |
