Guest Big H Posted May 29, 2007 Share Erhardt A spinning bicycle is designed solely for the purpose of cycling training. A bike gives you your own setup and gears but a spinner is made for the tremendous stresses involved in stationary cycling training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erhard Posted May 29, 2007 Share Big H, Thanks for info, but i got proper road bike, reaally dont need a spinning bike. I want the trainer for some good indoor testing and some important sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie Posted May 29, 2007 Share Trainer connecting to the PC works wonders for my fitness through winter. Trax iMagic, Fortius & Elite Realaxiom all look nice. One of them has DVDs with video footage of real routes like Rubaix, TDF, etc, very nice. I've got a Computrainer. It is a way overpriced imo, and the software is not nice - graphics look 15 years old, like the first generation VGA stuff! At leas you can now buy aftermarket software from ergvideo DVDs for the computrainer, which has modern graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheels Posted May 29, 2007 Share I bought mine some time ago from CWC in Cape Town. Was by far the best price. Contact them . I am sure that you will get the best price in the country from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas what I should be looking at.?? Thanks [/quote']erhard, I would spend the money on a cheap giant magnetic trainer and a Powertap with Cyclepeaks WKO software. Then you have the best of all worlds. There is a Powertap pro being advertised on the web tonite in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
