racman Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 Is your saddle on...? Damn - Now you tell me !!!
fiasm Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Why is an IDT so uncomfortable. After less than 20min using the same bike' date=' shorts, saddle etc my butt is killing me. Is this purely as a result of the "fixed" nature of the system or what? Any ideas on how to make it more comfortable - a couch is too big to attach [/quote'] your butt is sore because it actually died of boredom too. I don't know why it would be more uncomfortable-I don't notice any difference personally.
SwissVan Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Wheel is lifted up on one of those stand things as well. I thought it was something to do with the lack of movement in the rear triangle and BB that happens on the road. I believe its something to do with the lack of forward motion and air flow which provides a slight lifting moment reducing pressure where it counts.

ASTANA Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Buy yourself Rollers and only train indoors when its really dark or if its raining. For the rest of the year head out and ride outside - for us roadies I MTB more often during the winter. Rollers got a more realistic feel to it and adds to your leg speed and helps to improve your pedaling.
Poison Ivy Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Lately my hands go "dead" (needles and pins) on the trainer after only a few minutes. Don't know why Is the front wheel raise or on the ground? Try putting a phone book under the wheel. Otherwise' date=' think of it as a great excuse to get out of the house and ride![/quote'] Yes I have the phone book under the wheel and everything else is 100%, set-up, saddle, shoes/cleat-position, good shorts etc Maybe its just me, I tense up even on the trainer But I also prefer the road, but my coach has my on my trainer every Friday morning. He calls it me weekly stress release
Poison Ivy Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 25 min and my nuts go numb and i stand while i ride to.i have tried lifting the front wheel and it didnt help.No problem on the road though. luckily I don't have those too

pererace70 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Was even thinking about buying Rollers instead. Nooit bru, rollers are the same story! Reason being that you can't really stand on them (think of the physics involved...) so your butt really takes a beating. Well mine does at least. Max time for me on the rollers is 45mins before my butt gives in.

The faster you ride the easier it is... really.. trust me I'm not a spin doctor
fiasm Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 well, I hope when he 'tries' this trick he sets a video up in the room and posts the result on you tube so we can all have a great laugh as he shoots off!!

The faster you ride the easier it is... really.. trust me I'm not a spin doctor I can do both, but it still sucks! Standing on them just doesn't feel right! I know, doing it at 60km/h is the best!
