ASTANA Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Hello, I want to buy myself a new indoor trainer for the winter that has already begun here in Stellenbosch. Any spesifics a need to look at and what about this Rav X tx 4???? Im keen on spending a bit so it will last longer than 1 winterThink this one goes for arround R1600. Enjoy cycling
Guest colonel Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Decent trainer will do the job for more than 1 winter but I bet you wont use it for more than 1 winter!!!
Alida Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Decent trainer will do the job for more than 1 winter but I bet you wont use it for more than 1 winter!!! That is so true. I have two trainers and they keep each other company in the garage. Neither of them have seen a bike in a looooooong time.
Dirtbreath Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Borrowed an indoor trainer which was sooooo laborious and eventually invested in a spinning bike. The flywheel makes it a much better ride.
willy Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Nothing wrong with using a trainer. I rode for an hour yesterday and learnt about dog intelligence at the same time
Marius Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 I've used mine only once this winter...but might be twice if it don't freaken stop raining tonight!!!!! - got up at 4am this morning, got dressed, fully kitted with warm cycling stuff the works, did 5mins streching, open the door, it's raining, took every thing off and went back to bedMarius2008-06-04 04:35:01

NC_lurker Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Marius, time to start that cross-training.I got home last night, went for a good, solid 45min run.It was dark & I got rained on a bit, but you can still safely do it.
Red Zone Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Marius tell that to the Comrades runners next week. Running is like going to the dentist, painful but sometimes neccasary.
Prince Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 running is for pansies! And people with knee's in working order!
Marius Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 running is for pansies! And people with knee's in working order! Yeah, been there, done than, got the f'ed up knees.
Dr. Seuss Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 get that i-magic listed somewhere here - going for more than you are wanting to spend, but at least you will use it far more often and it will last a long time.
Myra Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Rather get rollers if you can - at least you feel like you're cycling.
andrewbell Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 use the idt 3-4 times a week. you just need to stay committed. longest session has been 90min
Fearless Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Time passes quickly on an idt when working to a program.Try this, 10 min warm up - 5x5 min @ 80% with 5 min recovery between each interval, 10 min cool down.
