Jewbacca Posted January 7, 2021 Share sure it helps when descending Alpe Du Zwift at +80kph It actually suck as I tend to play/fiddle with the levers while in the drops and inevitable land up clamping the rear pads together so I need to push them apart and reset the rear brake when It comes off the trainer. I had one of those plastic spacer things but it fell out and the dog chewed it, so it's back to trying my best not to fidget... sigh eddy, Long Wheel Base and T_Boss 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, our trainer bike is so married to the trainer it has no brakes on it at all. Handlebars have a map board for the mouse and food and 1 shifter for the 1x11(with road cassette). It feels weird not having brake levers on the bars. slickjay007, Long Wheel Base and Jewbacca 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should just learn not to fiddle Edited January 7, 2021 by Jewbacca eddy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted January 8, 2021 Share Best to work through all the flavors to see which works best, just in case.That is going to cost a fortune. The kids wanted ice creams a few weekends ago while out shopping so I got 1 for each of us, that's 5. I was shocked when I had to pay for them. Then the kids didn't even finish them so the wife and I had to hoover these melting magnums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted January 8, 2021 Share I’ll gladly eat the Magnums for you, and give you the sticks afterwards; that’s if you’re worried about breaking your new year resolution (diet). #justsaying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
