This is a great bike for multiple people. It's very easy to adjust, and is great at holding the power (erg mode). It is very solid, but also very static. The Tacx neo 2t had some side-to-side give, but the bike has none. I very much had to purchase a rocker to make this palatable for long rides. I've had it for over a year, 4 rides a week (>100 miles / week), an have had no troubles. My wife and son also ride it. I do think it's expensive, you can easily get a zwift ride + neo 2t for like 1/2 the cost, but it would be a bit slower to adjust...value takes a hit here. Similarly, built quality is amazing, but I would very much want more play in the port / starboard directions.

Aligned with Basement Brandon here. These are great, but not super-special. I have really only used the "commercial" ones in gyms (e.g. hammer strength), and these don't feel all that different. I think they're approximately the same knurling as the Colorado bar, it does feel good enough to avoid slipping but not super aggressive. I love that the weights are on the side (compared to the amazon basics hex dummbell). The handle feels like a normal size, and fits well in the hand.

I absolutely love these! The clang when deadlifting, the holes which are actually oppositely spaced (allowing for a great dual-handhold), the solid black. It's just a really great plate, and is a big upgrade to my older xmark rubber ones.

This one is just okay. It works well, but it just isn't tight on the rack and wobbles. I added furniture pads to correct this, but it's definitely not one of rep's better products. I do wish it was knurled like the mutant metals one (not that I've used that). It does easily hold my weight (200lb + 90lb on a belt), though the furniture pads need periodic replacing.

FWIW I do agree with Robo that I probably should have bought the delta rack. That being said, I'm very happy with the Alpha. It does have a little bit of instability, but not to the point it feels like it may tip. The original shipment missed some of the longer bolts, and they shipped them when I ordered a shelf + rollout attachment. It matches my rep rack perfectly, and is very adjustable. I'm able to get a full 5 - 100 lb dumbbell set on them (the 80-100 on the rollers). I do really recommend this style of dumbbell shelf as you can build off it, which is really nice (e.g. I can hang my rep dip attachment on it).
