Dinkymoo Posted April 9, 2014 Share Hey Experts, If you have any tips on buying an indoor trainer, please feel free to share them with me. Regards, Danielle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V12man Posted April 9, 2014 Share Make sure the trainer has enough resistance at a reasonable speed to give you what you need. So 350w resistance at 50km/h is NOT enough.... Look for something that can deliver at least 650 - 1000w at about 40kph. Dinkymoo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissVan Posted April 9, 2014 Share Have a look at the TRaining, Health and Nutrition thread, lots of IDT training advice hidden there:https://www.bikehub.co.za/f/13-training-health-nutrition/ Depends what your goals are...are you:1. Planning on using it regularlyor2. Just occasionally in winter when its a bit cool n dark? If its (1) then buy the best you can afford, if possible one that provides online virtual training options see this linkhttps://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/137945-hub-tacx-virtual-races-rides/page__hl__virtual If its (1) or (2), buy the quietest you can afford - No one likes a noisy IDTAlso budget for a good quality fan and entertainment system to watch movies while training Dinkymoo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
