    Winter is coming... What does your pain cave look like?
  2. Sam van Dyk
    My husband and I are in the market for a second hand direct drive indoor trainer to replace the wheel on one we already have. Unfortunately the more I read about the various options the more I feel like we are going to get the wrong thing and then spend a bunch of money trying to fix the problems. We would like to determine whether there is a way we can set up things so that we can both use one trainer, without it being a complete pain to change over between users. Problem is I am 1.65m tall and he is 1.82m tall, thus riding the same bike on the trainer will probably end up making one of us uncomfortable. Thus my questions: Is it difficult and or problematic to swop between bikes on a direct drive trainer (I realize each brand is a bit different, but in general)? Does any specific model of direct drive trainer make it easier to swop bikes (or conversely is there one we should avoid)? I have heard it is unadvisable to use your normal bike on a trainer regularly given it can damage things over time, should we avoid using our normal bikes on the trainer? (we are both on mountain bikes and he has a Shimano XT, 10-51, 12-speed cassette and I have a Shimano SLX 11-42 T cassette, so this may not be an option, but I am trying to consider everything) We already have "cheap" mountain bikes that we were using with the wheel on trainer, they have 21 Speed Cassettes (3 x 7 drive trains). If the indoor trainer had the correct cassette would these bikes work on a direct drive trainer or are they usually only compatible with 11 or 12 speed set up's? I would be interested to hear how other couples that cycle get it right, given I am certain we are not alone and know a lot of people can't necessarily afford 2 complete indoor set ups? I look forward to the opinions/advice.

    I know, I know. I'm late to the party. My excuse was pregnant/baby. I'm looking for a unicorn - a trainer which wont make noise (at least not enough noise to wake up a toddler). That is stable (mom can't be in a cast). And offers resistance (I don't see myself on a road/mountain any time soon). AND - the kicker - not going to break the bank. If you can pick up a second hand one without the risk of a dodgy purchase - all the better. Thanks sportsfans!

    My man en seun oefen elke aand hier langs mekaar op hulle fietse. Die fietse is gemonteer op hulle RavX en TraXx staanders. My man het al jare lank sy CycleOps Powertap op sy agterwil en my tienerseun het sopas ‘n oefenhorlosie Lefun Fitness Activity tracker gekry. Alhoewel ek kan sien dat alle inligting na die oefensessies afgelaai kan word wil ons graag die metings op die rekenaarskerms kan sien terwyl hulle oefen. Hoe doen ons dit? Dit sal die kompeterende uitdaging makliker maak. Noudat my seun ook ry word daar elke kort-kort gevra om te kyk en my man dra moet ongelukkig ‘n bril brgin dra om naby te kan sien. Met die sweet wat hom aftap is dit nogal ‘n probleem!

    Hi everyone I have a tacx satori trainer that doesn't want to switch on. It's been standing for about 2 months and now when I want to use it, it won't go on. I changed batteries, and still nothing. Has anyone else experienced something like this? Chris Willemse said I can bring it to them to have it checked out, but before I go there, I want to see if I can fix it myself (hopefully it's something small). Thanks!

    Hi, Having trouble with a broken Tacx Flux. Bought secondhand on bikehub, and it broke 5 rides in. No use crying over spilt milk. Would like to get it fixed now. The problem is: - red/green light flickers (no power?? belt issue???) - orange light flickers, do an update, returns to red/green issue - connects to phone and shows, but no power, no calibration (no data transfer??) - also no connectivity to macbook for zwifting purposes. I already emailed garmin, who seems to be Tacx agents in SA, but to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas or advice on the way forward, other than to just buy a Kickr

    I've been wanting to try out the Zwift steerable courses and also upgrade the horrible riser block my IDT came with. I'm probably not on a sufficiently high level yet to do the courses, but I found this SUPER COOL 3D printable design on Thingiverse (similar to this): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4239532 I'm curious if anyone else has given this a go (or wants to give it a go)? This is my current print progress (started this morning): I'm using clear PETG filament due to availability ( ), ease of use and low thermal expansion coefficients. I don't have bearings, so I'll have to print those too. PETG is good for moving parts apparently.

    If you’re anything like me indoor training can be a bit of a chore, but often the sensible option to supplement training through winter. Even with a decent trainer and the distraction of TVs or iPads, I quickly get bored and uncomfortable. Enter the CycleOps PowerSync and their Virtual Training software. Click here to view the article

    Beyond 2000 was a documentary TV Show that aired from 1985 to 1999 and featured technological innovations that were meant to improve our lives and be widely available to the mass market soon after the year 2000. Most inventions and ideas were outstanding and, for the time it was aired, quite out there. Flying cars, jetpacks as daily transport - next level stuff. Click here to view the article

    Greeting Hubbers, A friend of mine is looking at spending around R7500 on an indoor trainer. She tested the Kinetic rock and roller and was taken by the idea that the system moves underneath you in an attempt to simulate being on the road. My feeling is that this is a gimmick and the something like the Trax T2790 would be money better spent. Link to Kinetic --- http://www.kurtkinet...p-312-l-en.html Link to Trax --- http://www.cwcycles....bushido-tablets Any advice on these or other suggestions within the budget would be most helpful.

    Can anyone enlighten me to the differences between the Tacx Bushido and i-Flow ? Costs from CW Cycles : Tacx T2790 Bushido for Tablets - R10 500 Tacx T2250 I-Flow - R8 999 I want to be able to use a Tablet(or macbook) to show the tacX videos and also I am interested in the multi player online options. What extras do I need to buy over and above the trainer? Anybody using this setup please provide me with advice/feedback? Much appreciated.
