Wheel Block
Pros: Good Fit, Lightweight
Cons: Limited Color Choices, have to buy as extra to turbo trainer
"I have found this to be a fantastic buy, I used to use the yellow pages but never felt that stable, but I have no problems with this block. I regularly do a spinning class using my turbo and block and it keeps the front wheel really steady, great at home too. The only negative thing I would say is that it's a shame it doesn't come as standard with the turbo trainer."

Why spend more?
Pros: Durable, Good Fit
"Holds the front wheel up firmly and securely, compatible with elite turbo trainers for storage. Does the job perfectly. And given the price of the other riser blocks, this is one of the better value options."

A bit of plastic - how can you go wrong
"It does what it says. Nothing more to it really. Kinda feels a bit more stable when on the trainer. Could probably live without it, but hey, why not."

Not high enough
Cons: Poor Fit
"I can just about accept that this does not come with the trainer, but the fact that it does not raise the front wheel enough (meaning you are constantly cycling downhill) is unforgivable. Being charitable, I can only assume that my pretty ordinary Trek 1.5 with 700x23c wheels is an odd shape/size. Hmmmm. Still, Wiggle refunded me so that I was able to buy the CycleOps one instead. Thanks again Wiggle!"

Pretty basic
"It's a piece of plastic for holding the tyre up so not sure what can be said. It does the job, time will only tell if it is durable but it seems fine. Could be a little taller for me but I don;t think any others are any taller."

Big chunk of plastic that works
Pros: Durable, Rugged, Good Fit
"It took quite a bit of consideration on my part to outlay good cash on what is essentially a well crafted chunk of plastic. Fortunately Wiggle were tops for value when it came to choosing the chunk of plastic that I needed to keep my front wheel stable and level, when my pride and joy is in the ops trainer. It really does the job well, so I don't hate myself for buying something so excessive, and usually contrary to my better judement."

Solid Support Block for your front wheel
Pros: Rugged, High Quality, Versatile, Good Fit
"This block is a very solid construction and takes a variety of sized front wheels levelling out the bike when you are on the turbo. I think it will probably last forever however much it is used."

Great Value
Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Rugged, Adjustable, easy to assemble
"Easy to set up and use and it also does not take up much room when folded away. It is not silent but is a lot less noisy than others I have used and it is great to be able to change the resistance without getting off the bike. I have used it for 4 months and have not yet used all levels of resistance."

How much?
Cons: Expensive
"Bought this to replace the Yellow Pages that was propping up my bike. Works fine, no problems but expensive and not sure why this is not included when you buy a trainer?"

"This should really come as standard with the turbo trainer no doubt about that.
That said I am not sure why you would go for the more expensive version than this as it really is just a plastic stand. I am not sure what extra benefit the more expensive version gives."

More stability but overpriced!
Pros: Durable, Rugged, High Quality, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"The block certainly makes a difference to the overall stability but 20 quid for what is, essentially, a piece of plastic is a little too much. Of course I got the usual excellent service from Wiggle."
