The Omnium Trainer is unique in that it folds to fit in a carry-on bag, weighs 13.5 lbs, and provides a similar power profile to a fluid stationary bike trainer. It is optimized for race warmup - the drums will not wear your race tire, and the front fork mount allows you to leave your race wheel on. No risk of chain alignment issues from removing the rear wheel or skewer before your race. The Omnium's features also shine for training in small apartments, and athletes who travel frequently. That being said, you certainly can use it in your basement in the winter.

Ultimately, airport security is a risk-based operation, so there are no guarantees. However, our local experts at TSA have given their opinion that the Omnium is "good to go." See the full explanation for more details.
The front legs are not height adjustable. We recommend using the trainer on a flat surface for the best performance. We are considering this feature for a future version of the Omnium.
Although we do not currently have a dedicated thru-axle version of the Omnium for sale, we have received many requests for this feature and will be pursuing a design very shortly. In the meantime, please consider using a Hurricane Fork-Up attachment; if you have both 9mm and thru-axle bikes, this is a very convenient way to make the Omnium work for both.
Although we do not currently have a dedicated lefty version of the Omnium for sale, we have received many requests for this feature and will be pursuing a design very shortly. In the meantime, please consider using a Hurricane Fork-Up attachment.
Cadence Rollers are a standard aluminum bike roller with no additional resistance. You will still experience some increase in resistance as you spin faster, but it will not be a realistic power curve. The OverDrive Pro Rollers have one drum with an internal magnetic mechanism (indicated by one red end cap), that automatically increases resistance with speed. The resulting power curve reflects a realistic road ride, with small variances based on your bike, weight, tire pressure, etc. For more information, read an in-depth testimonial about the OverDrive Pro Rollers.
We recommend purchasing a fork stand when: 1) You have several family members with varying skill levels who want to use the same set of bike rollers, or 2) You would like to be able to space out in front of the TV every now and then. We do not recommend using the fork stand as a permanent fixture on the rollers, because you will not gain the benefits of improved handling, cadence, etc. For more on this, read Why Train with Rollers?
Our power curves are integrated with TrainerRoad software. All you need is an account, and they will be able to provide you with a power readout based on speed. Learn more about this simple and very inexpensive option.

See "Which Trike Trainer is Which" for a complete explanation and helpful buyer's guide.
Both of our Trike Trainers will accommodate between a 16" and 700c wheel. You may experience a very slight variation in tire pinch drag with a smaller wheel, but it is negligable.
We're not talking about "rocking" as in: "I'm totally rocking this workout!" Some of our customers have experienced a fore-aft rocking on the trainer due to an uneven cadence. If you have a dramatically uneven pedal stroke, the trike will tend to come out of the cradle. This can be improved by focusing on a round pedal stroke and/or using clipless pedals.
The Mag Handcycle Trainer automatically increases moderately in resistance as you increase your speed. This is the perfect trainer if you are a beginner, are using the trainer for rehab and recovery, or just want to spin lightly at home. The OverDrive Handcycle Trainer also automatically increases in resistance as you increase your speed. However, this trainer will provide you with more resistance than the Mag in higher speeds. This is the perfect trainer if you are an avid handcycle athlete, or want to do interval training indoors.
For many handcycle athletes, there is a natural "surging" motion in the pedal stroke that causes the handcycle to rock on the trainer. The Rhythm is designed to accommodate for that - the handcycle trainer sets on top of the Rhythm, and the entire unit moves forward and backward slightly on the wheels. It is not a necessary accessory, nor is it preferred by all handcycle athletes.
