Not bad for a "dikwiel" , a dumb thing to do though.

Depends on how much you are willing to pay. I have a standard Giant trainer. The important thing is that you train with a cadence or power meter. Without either of these 2 your indoor training wont be sufficient.Cadence rock!!!!!!!!!

Have been riding trainer for the past 3 winters. Frame seems to be fine. I havent felt anything funny when back on the road or trying to hold on to the East Rand bunch on a Saturday morning.

The Trek looks very nice however ,I am starting to wonder if I am missing something. Its now the 3rd bike on the Hub today that I saw that has got stripped bar tape. I must admit though , I havent been to a cycle shop in the past three weeks. Is "stripped" the new trend?

In which direction do you guys cycle tintin?

Big H , they say life begins @ 40 which is true. I started cycling at the age of 17.Today I am 43 and I cycle the best cycling ever. 15 years ago I wasnt able to do an average of 38/39 in a race. A lot has got to do with the mind. If you keep level headed you can go a long way.That sub 3 Argus is definitely reachable. Enjoy

Conti's Gator all the way.........

Daloco I dont train in a specific HR zone. My max HR is 178.As soon as I hit 160 especially @ 100 rpm's I slow down a bit. My average HR after a session is in the region of 146 -148 and as Windblown says your average HR comes down the fitter you become. All depends on the program you use and the setting on your trainer. I leave my setting on 4 which is comfortable for me. My last session is normally the one that pushes you HR up as you do 100+ rpm's

All depends on how strong and fit you are. Have a 6-8 min warm-up , then start pedeling @85 -90 rpm's for 2 min - if it feels good go to 90 and stay there for 2 min. The success of cadence training is that you need to pedle at least @ 90rpm and keep it there for an x-period of time. My cadence training consits out of 14min@ 90rpm working through the gears / 14min @95 rpm and 14 min of a mixture 90 -110 rpm with a 2min rest between the sessions to bring your HR down.This works for me. You need to find what is working for you and stick to it. Good luck and enjoy

Any 80's song.......

Sad thing is some roadies dont even great fellow roadies. If you great them they either stare at you or just ignore you

You will be cheered riding through Soweto on this"machine"

Samma daai chain rings lyk soos 54/42??? Daai fietsie gaan mooi lyk as hy aanmekaar is. Geniet dit. Ons het die lewe in oorvloed gekry. Groete

Good point Kona

Did my best Argus with down tube shifters.The problem with the sport is that you can compaire it with computers.Every 4-6 months something new comes out and your current one is considered old. I ride a Schwinn fast back pro ali frame with ultegra groupset which I bought new in 2004.In 2004 it was top of the range Scwinn , now I am told my machine is at the bottom of the list.Crazeeeeeeeeeeee To those who can afford to buy for over 25k...........go for it and enjoy it

Sounds like an expensive sheep

Mellow jy is 'n regte grapkas........arme Jonny......

Ban the MP3's its an accident waiting to happen. If you get caught using one , at least six moths suspension

Sorry ..count me out....its a bit too far to do it with a "dikwiel"

I think its more a price issue. They had a big mark up. In December 2008 you could buy a Raleigh full carbon with Dura ace groupset and wheels from Cajees for R28000. Comes January 2009 that same machine was priced @ R40 000.00, doesnt make sence. They have very good bikes except for the little problem they had in 2008 with the carbon frames that had a "cracking" problem

Sad part is , Cajees told me earlier this year Raleigh had problems with their carbon fraims. Were cracking , so as a goodwill gesture Raleigh gave a few frames to the various Raleigh dealers who sold a carbon frame only for R6500.00. Bargain but I might not trust Raleigh anymore

Two years ago I bought the Sigma computer that has the cadence function. Cant remember what I paid. Fantastic product. Wireless. I mainly use it when I am on the trainer. Only "bad" thing is the rubber bands you need to use to fasten the sensor to the fork. When cycling on a bumpy road the sensor tends to move towards the spokes. I only use it on the trainer and use a Cat Eye when doing road.

Are there any fellow hubbers in the Boksburg area(not TDF group)that trains in the mornings between 4:30- 6:00

I dont car what motorists thinks. Shaved legs are cool and my wife says its sexy.....
