Nero Sportsexercise bike KINOMAP bluetooth connection indoor cycling Training Studio Cycles 24 Month warranty

I chose this bike to replace my old turbo trainer as an indoor exercise bike. I have done a lot of spin classes in the past and for indoor training i do prefer it over the turbo or standard gym exercise bikes. It arrived within 2 days of ordering and took me about 30mins to assemble, which was very easy to do. It’s a great looking bike, sturdy and has the features you would expect in a spin bike. I did review the comments beforehand so to answer loads of questions already posted there without you having to trawl through several pages here’s some feedback that my help:Firstly and most importantly, if you are close to 6 foot or over you need to purchase the extended seat post, specific to this machine (available on Amazon in about a week according to the seller - posted 13th July 2020). If you are this height and you wish to use this properly with the correct distance between seat and pedals, the standard seat post is too short and you will potentially injure yourself as you won’t be in the right position. For those who have had a road bike fit and set up done, you will understand.This is a great training machine which you can use with Zwift, however it will not change the resistance as the terrain changes on your chosen virtual route. And quite frankly for the cost of the machine I wouldn’t expect it to. If you want that functionality then you need a smart turbo or one of the popular (but expensive at over £1k) online connected spin bikes.To use this effectively I would highly recommend you connect to one of the many YouTube spin classes and treat it as though you were in the actual class (just don’t cheat!). If you can change the pedals to clipped in ones which provide greater power and comfort during training it will help get more from the sessions. This is a suggestion of course, you don’t need to do this and can have fun without them.I would like to close this review by giving some credit to the seller. I contacted them about the lack of availability of the extended seat post and they came back to me within an hour, offering me a second hand post they had had returned to them, free of charge, if I didn’t want to wait the 10 days until the new ones arrived. This was sent to me in 1 working day (emailed them Friday morning and the post arrived Monday lunchtime) and works a dream. Great service and a company if would highly recommend.

Seems sturdy, went together well, v.happy so far. Was advised all newer (& mine) came with long seat post so I think taller should now be fine, I am only 5'11" but sure a few more notches still to go.I really bought to go with zwift to keep me motivated but was disappointed as everyone much faster, cannot get above 90w without mad peddling. Don't want too & know cannot race proper but would like to pace myself with others on routes. I think the bike uses cadence to work speed & hence power. I bought a extra cadence as some advised but think redundant as that is what the bike emits however .. see laterNow bought a garmin speed sensor and attached as show, little plastic L with sticky velco so on proper plane.You can mount flat but does not wake up (OK once awake & flat on wheel , now tested as such)Now works well, use that as speed and unknown roller( could try others), oddly now cannot use the bikes cadence (otherwise would have said only buy the speed sensor but pairs cheaper usually) again little testing so it might.So using the wahoo cadence I bought initially so perhaps not a waste.Set up with various wheel sizes to suite you.I use to use the companion app which worked great before, not so sure now so just the bike & sensors.I also unplugged the bike sensors as Zwift kept wanted to use this, again might be able to fix if you try.anyway, now can go faster than most so will adjust wheel size but easy 150w+ & sure will find happy balance so can keep up with some without taking advantage.Update. Started clicking loudly all of a sudden, like someone else took of belt guard but was not as they suggested, a screw. In my case simply was the big silver nut tightening the crank shaft. Little worring as was quite tight & only needed a tweak to stop & not sure could do up much more. Was a loud click so suspect something not quite right. Fine now & only tested a little. The lock nut must have iffy thread as does not tighten at all up against the other so will have to keep eye out for this.

We bought this for my husband to recuperate from an injury when not able to do anything high impact - I had seen all the really good re iews and thought we were on to a winner! He assembled it, but we came across issues straight away.. Neither of us could properly thread the nuts back on the bolt that the pedal threads onto (back to that later). He tried sitting on it, and he's by no means obese, but the back of the seat straight away tilted down, the front of the seat went straight up into the crown jewels = one very unhappy husband.. It did not do this when I sat on it, however.. So I thought I'd try and look at an app to follow for some motivation.. Sadly the chromebook device I wanted to use was not compatible with zwift.. Annoying. But signed up for free 30 day trial of peloton app.. Mid hardcore 20 minute ride I was fast cadence, standing up, sweating away (cycle slightly shaking at the front) the left pedal nut flew off!!! 🤦‍♀️ I had to slide off the bike, quads a trembling, wonder what had happened and try and reattach the blessed thing.. It did not want to find the thread of the bolt at all.. I tried taking the other one off to see if they were the wrong way round.. Not really. Both were equally hard to get back on.. I got them on the thread enough to finish my workout, but deffo not happy. Returning bike and getting refund.. Absolutely nowhere did it mention any Bluetooth capacity at all.. Not user friendly (especially if you are over 13 stone and a man.. Ouch). And to say it has a "comfortable seat" is a big lie..
