Turbo Trainer Advice

Ironing board works well.

Ironing board FTP test? Sounds interesting...

I'd choose an FTP test over some ironing any day.

Halfords have a £10 trainer tyre

You want a Cycleops Fluid? I have one surplus to my requirements since I went all geek and got a fancy pants smart one. Really nice turbo with good road feel.

This. Look's just like the one I have. Good price too. I can't imagine doing indoor work with anything smaller.

Looks good, think I'll pick one of these up

Oooh, quite possibly. How much and do you have a date you need rid of it (am running about for the next month or so for work).

my turbo cave is coming along nicely, main turbo is set up, power meter serviced and seems to be working well, big fan is in place and as of 5 minutes ago wifi is up and running, something quite good is arriving tomorrow, and then its just time to start training!

I finally got Zwift running last night after updating my PC's video card drivers.

I'd done 30min of riding on the Computrainer already so only rode the free thing for a couple of minutes. I will give it a proper go later but I'm not sure if I like it or not. It's basically like riding the Computrainer software but the riders are internet rather than computer-generated.

I didn't like it at first and didn't really see the point. Then did some group rides and a couple of TT's and have come to quite enjoy it (as far as it's possible to enjoy riding in an office in front of a screen). There's a 10 happening tonight at 8pm, go smash them all and see what you think.

Join the ec1 collective rides and destroy those cunts

3w/kg wattage cottage

Virtual cottaging?

I should be doing that as long as I get home from work at a decent time so I can set the turbo up (not much room in my garage for a dedicated turbo set up) and have a warm up.

Say hello to the Cat C chopper as you pass me!

Was the @TheArchitect who wanted pain cave pics?

My new toy arrived a little earlier than expected, after my evening session so will be taking it for its first spin tomorrow..

Oh man, wish I could have a proper wattbike

Dat saddle though.

I dunno about watt bikes, do they ride okay?
Make sure it's calibrated properly.

But still, I don't know if it'd ride as nice as the Lemond. Which is still best I've tried.

do they ride okay?

The best.
