Dinkymoo Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Hey Experts, If you have any tips on buying an indoor trainer, please feel free to share them with me. Regards, Danielle
V12man Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 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
SwissVan Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 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

Guest EdEdEd Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) I have one of these... The resistance is OK, just OK... Otherwise its fine... Edited April 10, 2014 by EdEdEd
V12man Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 So, this guy is selling. What you think? http://www.thehubsa....indoor-trainer/ I think it will be fine - aside from colour, identical to mine.
