Im about to buy a cheap turbo....

Im about to purchase a nice cheap turbo. I cant afford Tacx or any other brand but am keen on the B'win in ride. Especially as the brand seems to be getting a good rep.

Does anyone have any experiance of this or any other unbranded turbos? Amazon for instance seems to have a few for around £60 which im tempted but unsure!

January reflection

Hooray, January is finally over. I say finally, because it’s been an especially testing time on the bike. The climate has thrown the full gamut of weather at us, from snow to howling winds, sub zero temperatures to prolonged rain and everything else in between. Sometimes all at once within one ride.

Atrial Fibrillation

Hi
I've just been diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation and am waiting treatment. Anyone else suffer from this and how has it affected your riding if at all.
Thanks

Roto Training Rollers - any good?

As above really -

has anyone tried this brand of rollers?

Roto Training Rollers, on sale on SportPursuit, first rollers I've seen for less than £100.

Turbo is eating my tyres

With all this snow I have been mostly riding a turbo in my garage. After each ride I have a pile of rubber particles (about 1mm in size) on the floor behind the bike. It's a TACX magnetic trainer (usual friction drive setup) - is this a sign of too much/too little tension, tyre pressure, worn turbo or just one of those things that happens with a turbo?

hard training = free radicals ! how to combat

I'm a pharmacist as well as a hard riding club rider/racer in my late 40s....how many of us are aware that our hard training and racing increases damaging byproducts or free-radicals which can damage our health ? it's ironic that cycling is good for health no doubt but big efforts like many of us make can cause a lot of harm....anyone aware and doing something about it ? I'm happy to share my personal experiences and how I deal with the threat...there are lots of supplements out there but waht really works and can you trust ?

What Wattage?!?
