    Yes have used exactly that trainer. SERIOUSLY dull and requires a lot of motivation to get on the damn thing but does work wonders for fitness. I would suggest best used with some structured program and with a heart rate monitor. I got a dedicated trainer tyre - bright orange thing that is hard wearing and quiet but a right pita to get on and off the wheel - if you have an old spare rear wheel use this to make life easier for yourself. Other tips - you will need either a fan or an open window to stop yourself overheating. ALso some way of mopping up the sweat you produce whilst stationary - I use arm and head bands! Must look seriously bad but better than the pool of sweat on the conservatory floor!
