OK, this waistline has gone far enough!! I've been out of the saddle for exactly 1 year tomorrow following a broken wrist sustained at Dalby, and i'm getting to the age where it's kinda easy to gain adipose tissue, but not so easy to get rid of it .....therefore.....
I need a Turbo Trainer.....and preferably one with programmes that link up to the PC so that i can push myself against computer generated pedalheads....i'm sure i saw a Mountain Bike World Cup program which looked right up my strata.... I need something like this to keep my motivation up.
Unfortunately i just can't risk going out on a bike as it may result in damage that will be harder to recover from. :cry:
I'm looking to spend £200-£300, but if i get a good deal for less then so be it...... However, I do tend to be the kind of person that likes to buy the best (i.e. a mug probably :roll: ), so i'll see what people suggest i need to spend to get a top notch machine.....
I would stick my road bike on it, but i'm possibly looking to sell it. So are these trainers equally happy running 26" wheels? 'Cause my C16R has always been a great bike to use on roads as well as off....
If it's daft to get rid of the Fondriest road bike then i could keep it purely for the Turbo Trainer i guess.....any thoughts on this too? :?
Any advice very gratefully received....let me know what u think is best...
