Which Turbo Trainer

[2wd]

I did the 1hr 24min workout from the DVD today. Whatever the gradient of the hill is I set that as the resistance. Spent most of it on no.7/8/9

If your using the resistance as indicated on the DVD, what gears do you run the bike in

I have just bought one of these and only had the chance of a quick ten minute play

Been looking at getting one but the wheels on my bike are attached via nuts, so no quick release skewer. Do these work with these type of wheels? Or am I going to need a new rear wheel with a skewer?

We have the same problem with the mrs's hybrid. The nuts still fit into the trainers things fine, had to use the extender bracket that come with the trainer though as the wheel has a large diameter.

The only thing is the wheel doesn't sit completely centre but it's good enough.

This is the satori pro I am on about, can't comment on other trainers.

I hope this helps.

It depends, if its very low resistance then I will be in the big ring at the front and smallest at the back.
If It is on resistance 9 I will be on the small ring at the front and maybe biggest or second biggest at the back, or sometimes I will put it on the middle ring and do a bit standing up.

Yes I use granny gears

It does indeed !

Think I might still pop along to the lbs tomorrow, but it gives me renewed optimism that I can get one.

Riding "up" a hill I set the gears in the range 39/25 or 30/25 - 23 - 21 - 19. Depending on how whacked I feel.

Racing "downhill" from the top I set my gears at 50/12

On the "flat" I use a range of gears along with either the 39 or 50 on the front.

I got my Satori Pro back in December 2009, a good investment and with the Decathlon price a very sensible choice I would agree.
