Make sure the adjuster bolt is seated correctly
I read a few of the reviews and was concerned. Most were 5 star but there were a number of 1 star with similar complaints. I ride 12 miles a day and it’s getting too dark for me to feel safe. So. This. Easy assembly easy mount. First use could not get enough resistance and I feared the fault reported had happened to me. Well nope but I figured what may have happened to others. If the bolt that pushes the roller against the wheel doesn’t seat correctly on the roller then you can tighten it but it won’t improve contact between tire and roller. Seating it correctly so you can see pressure on the tire and bingo. An hour on level 3 kicks my butt and feels like a 14 mile ride - all in top gear. Resistance at higher levels I can sprint but not sustain. I don’t want a permanent mount so the cable for the resistance adjuster is a bit annoying but I found it stays out of the pedal sweep if mounted correctly. All in a great purchase after about 100 miles and still going
