Re: The Cycling Thread
Went out today, I was too hot with my winter stuff on.
Think of the nice weather that's just round the corner

Any of the Tacx ones would do the job, if you want cheaper, then look for a magnetic one. Personally... spring is on the way and it was only really getting properly dark tonight here at 6:30 ish coupled with the fact that whilst the Turbo is OK, its not as good training wise as riding on the road with. At this time of the year I;'d not bother with it...

Re: The Cycling Thread
I've got a tacx satori on offer at CRC at the moment for £145
Stable enough to get out of the saddle, 10 resistance levels, smooth and not too noisy - recommended

Re: The Cycling Thread
I've got an Elite fluid turbo trainer, I had a magnetic one, but no where near as good as the fluid ones.
But I agree with Fizz, its the wrong time of year to be buying one, unless you pick up an end of season bargain

Re: The Cycling Thread
Might sound like a daft question but is achilles tendonitis an injury that cyclists suffer from ? I already have it and its getting to the point that i'm seriously thinking of packing in running , just wondering if cycling might be kinder on my ankles ?
