As of late, Sport-Tiedje's extensive range includes indoor bicycle rollers and bicycle trainers as of late.

These enable one to turn one's bike into a personal piece of home fitness equipment. Hence we would like to introduce the Blackburn TrakStand Ultra as our product of the month.
Indoor bicycle trainers are ideal for athletes who like to be under way on their own bike. Should the seasons prevent you from practicing outside at any point, you can easily attach your bike to a biclycle trainer and exercise at home. The back wheel is mounted to the bicycle trainer and thus stabilises the whole bike. Hence changing pieces of exercise equipment and time consuming adjustments are obsolete.

outstanding resistance system

Professional athletes in particular appreciate this chance of a realistic way of working out.
The new CENTRIFORCE™ resistance system changes intensity depending on the bike's speed and acceleration. Extra handle switches for controlling the bicycle trainer are not needed. The bike's own shifting system can be used in order to increase the resistance. The resistance adjusts stepplessly from 0 up to 3000 watts during the workout. The centrifugal clutch which produces the resistance excels due to its great running smoothness.

solid frame

The centrifugal clutch simulates a realistic driving feel due to a progressive increase in resistance at higher speeds. The resistance adjusts quicker to the speed and acceleration than other resistance systems (e.g. fluid,rim gripper).
The Blackburn TrackStand Ultra's aluminium frame is particularly sturdy. Solid, oversized support legs provide great stability throughout the workout. The frame withstands even forceful movements of the frame.

very smooth

It is advisable to use the accompanying quick release skewer in order to guarantee optimal security of the back wheel. Your bike's standard quick release skewer can be exchanged with the latter.
The Blackburn TrakStand Ultra's frame is folding for space-saving storage.

minimal distance to the ground

Another feature of the Blackburn TrakStand Ultra is the mounted back wheel's small distance to the ground. Thus the bike's centre of gravity and its sturdiness are increased. A distance of merely 10mm remains. This means the bike is almost level to the ground. A front wheel lifter, which makes the balance complete, is available as accessory. Yet another indispensable accessory is a protective floor mat. It dampens noise and protects the floor.
The Blackburn TrakStand Ultra is very popular amoungst professionals also. American Chris Carmichael, for example, uses the system when mentoring athletes (Lance Armstrong among others).
