  1. Join Fat Trucks MTB Club. Once you pay the annual fee, they add you to their Whatsapp group where you can enquire further. I will also forward your response to a guy that I think will be able to assist. Does hectic long road rides daily in PE
  2. Might as well open a VBS account while you're at it
  3. I bought the 5X Plus Sapphire for 9k on sale a few months ago at Totalsports. Brand new, with full warrantee. I think at this point in time the 5S plus should be around the price you suggested, regardless of condition.
  4. Send a PM with your details, will let you know then
  5. Has anyone had luck putting a mtb on a dumb trainer with speed and cadence sensors? I know that you won't be able to keep up due to the gearset, but I am unable to reach 100W no matter what I try with a 700x32C home trainer wheel, with average power around 40W. On the wattbike at the gym my average is around 140W with easy pedaling.
  6. I am currently here until next week Sunday but only have a mountain bike
  7. Is your mind set on road cycling? There is a massive mountain biking community in PE with lots of scheduled rides. If you do end up cycling that road be careful, I know of quite a few fatalities.
  8. Anyone know how the Garmin V2 sensors compare to the Wahoo RPM ones? They are virtually the same price
  9. On an irrelevant note, has someone found a portable solution to hook up any gym spinning bike to Zwift?
  10. Budget isn't too important, but at the end of the day I just want to have fun. Not as serious as people that throw ridiculous amounts of cash for anything cycling related. If something like the Kickr smart trainer is worth the investment, then I'd rather put money aside for it than waste it on something that I'll replace soon anyway.
  11. Morning, thanks for the advice! No I can assure you that whatever I buy, I'll definitely use. Would you recommend getting a cheap trainer with the additional sensors or a semi-smart trainer like the Tacx Satori that already works with Zwift over Bluetooth? Based on the prices I've seen, it would work out to about the same
  12. No just looking at what makes the most economical sense. Would feel a bit strange paying more for a trainer than what my bike is worth but I also don't want to be penny wise and pound foolish if I end up having to buy so much extra stuff that I could've rather invested in something like the kickr like you mentioned.
  13. Hi guys, I am looking to get myself set up for Zwift as I see my workload increasing the next couple of months and not really keen on being outside late at night when streets are deserted. I run about 4 times a week and mountain bike whenever I can. I was looking at getting a smart treadmill such as the Everlast Trail but it will take up quite a bit of space and not really sure how Zwift run compares to the cycling and if it will be worth it. Am I better off getting an entry-level smart trainer for my mountain bike instead, such as the Tacx Satori? I hear another problem is that mtb tyres get destroyed quite quickly, will I need extra wheels? Any other recommendations would be appreciated. I have a Silverback Sola 4 mountain bike. Thank you!
  14. Hi everyone, Was just wondering if there is perhaps a mtb group I can join for weekend rides in and around PE? I am based in EL but travel to PE one or two weekends a month to visit family. I did contact Fat Tracks and there isn't a dedicated group for weekend rides, everyone forms their own subgroups within the club. Only looking for short rides (<15km) as my time is quite limited when I'm there. Thanks!
