  1. Did not try the new wheels. Only damage that I can see is that the bike is a few grams lighter due to the one pedal being shaved as it scraped the tar. Broke my brand new Fizik tubby bag - it snapped right out of the bracket Cry

  2. If training out towards the cradle, be careful of an oil slick on the road at the bottom of the dip. Not sure of the exact road, but if you are heading out towards the cradle, there is a dip that goes over a bridge and at the top of the road it is a T-junction. At the T-junction you turn left towards the rhino and lion park (this was the winter challenge route).The oil slick is at the bottom of that dip Ouch. Took me out but fortunately I was just starting to climb so no major damage. word2007-08-18 05:04:24

  3. Not an expert but I would guess IDT does not damage the bike HOWEVER.....I have been warned not to stand when the bike is on the IDT as it can place to much strain on the frame and lead to damages. Also be sure to either use a sweat guard or dry the bike carefully after use to prevent the headset from rusting up. This is what happens to the bikes on IDT at the gyms - the headset rusts becuase of the sweat.

  4. I have the Edge 305 and I love it. I mounted the bracket onto the stem as opposed to the handlebars in order to keep the "real estate" clean. Gives me flexibility to move all over the bars. Also, love the fact that it is wireless.

    Only just saw your post. I would have joined you but i wussed out yesterday. Drove to Cyclelab, got out the car, felt the wind, got back in the car and went home. Moped around all day because I did not ride, although I did make it up with 1 1/2 hours on IDT this morning.

     

    I will be back there next week though.

     

    How did you enjoy it? From wht I saw when I was there, yesterdays groups must have been tiny.
