elite powermag trainer

Really?

If the turbo simulated rolling down a hill, it would be a waste of frigging money.

Do the 'coastdown' test like previously described.

Training equipment is there to make the job harder, not give you an easy life...

I wouldn't dispute that, but that's not what you said and so not what I questioned.

If this is aimed at the OP then like I said, if its the type of Elite trainer I think it is there's nothing to gain from doing this. If its aimed at me I don't need to do it either because I have PowerTap....

Who said training equipment was there to give you an easy life?

The very least a turbo should do is simulate a track bike on a smooth velodrome. Then each notch simulates a less aerodynamic cyclist or climbing a gradient.

I know as well as everyone else, a turbo is a mind numbing device. With the knowledge the thing is making you and your bike have the Cd equivalent to a pro raceboy, you can attempt to emulate his achievements.

It what kept me sane ??????

I thought you could adjust the pressure of the roller against the tyre by way of an adjusting bolt, I must be looking at another type of turbo.
