Turbo Training - what do you get up to?

[Pickle]

Who's using what on their TT's then, anyone using MTB's :?:

Would i be better off using a road bike :?:

Yes on the roadbike front.

I used my MTB only a couple of times until I got my roadie back from my parents house.

Its far easier to spin on a roadie, so if you havent got one I suggest you use a slick tyre on your MTB.

Yeah, got the slick, one of those orange things "conti"
Might well pick up a cheapy off the bay then
While were on the subject, what are those TT's being used at the velodrome...looked like both wheels turning,and the bike moving side to side :? I bet there expensive :?:

Rollers mate

You actually 'ride' your bike on them, takes a bit of getting used to, but once you have the hang of it they are brill

And no, not expensive really, I know didnt give much for my set second hand.

Here you go

Edit: Its not me on them BTW!

I love rollers , they improve your balance too .

Being able to fall off in your garage doesn't appeal to me! Hence the TT is best

I use my winter roadbike, but can't see why a slicked up MTB would be any different.
TT are the way forward for fitness with a family

Its looking more likely that this is going to be the case :roll:
I'm finding it harder every day to pull myself away from the little bean
I'm going to be hitting the TT hard, as of next week :!:
I've had it 6 months and only used it 4 times That's pretty poor really.
Thanks for clearing up the roller mystery for me, never heard of them before. Look quite basic really.

I havent used the TT yet , but the rollers do take time to get used to .

I remember hopping off rollers at 30 mph in a garage......

Needed fresh shorts afterwards...
