Reasons NOT to buy:

User Reviews

  • Doesn’t have the same resistance as other trainers, and less than other options.

Expert Reviews

  • Might not be stable enough for bigger and more powerful riders.
  • Won’t feel like the road, due to the smaller four inch drums.
  • Not good for high-powered sprint workouts.

Summary:

The Feedback Sports Omnium Portable Trainer is an adjustable, easy-to-set-up, and sturdy option for cyclists who want consistent feedback and a portable trainer. The limited ability to do high powered efforts makes this not great for bigger riders or those who perform multiple sprint workouts, but for cyclists who use trainers for warmups and lower-resistance riders, this is a great choice.
