I have been using the Cyclops Riser for the last 5 years and have had no complaints.  Jon picked up the Kinetic Riser Ring as seen below and started using it so I thought I would give it a try.



It is very light weight and smaller than my Cyclops Riser.  It has 4 different levels for easy adjustment to simulate varying hill heights and a flat ride.  At $21.99 it is a few dollars less than the Cyclops Climbing Block which only has 3 levels.

Smaller in size for storage

Dislikes

When using the Kinetic Riser my front wheel feels like it has some play up front.  I am not used to that much play up front on trainer and don't care for it much. 

Summary

Not bad at all for the money.  Kinetic Riser has more options for less money than it main competitor.  If you are using a riser for the first time you probably won't notice the play the front wheel has.
