Bike Rear Wheel Trainer
Cycling on a trainer?
Hi folks.
I don’t enjoy cycling during the dark nights and didn’t want to give it up so hence the reason for getting a turbo trainer.
After switching my bike computer to the rear wheel. I used it tonight for a 50 minute burn out and using resitance No3 of 5 levels, I covered 22.5 miles with an average speed of 28.2mph. Now when I am out on the road I only average 13.6 and it would take me nearly 2 hours to cover that kind of distance.
So my question is: Has any other fellow members got one of these trainers and do you actually see any difference.
Thanks in advance
Steve
And what do you think of them?
I have a Bell Motivator and it only have one resistance level. Tire pressure will make a difference on the resistance. I can average about 20 mph on my trainer for 45 min. I take it easy the first 10 min to get warmed up so that kills my average. On my road bike I can average 16-17 mph with a bunch of hills.
I have a mountain bike on my trainer with a slick tire. Running 24 mph on it feels about the same as 20 mph on my road bike on level ground and no head wind. I like my trainer and get a pretty good work out on it. If you are not breathing hard or sweating you are not getting much out of it. You should increase your resistance level to where you can’t pedal in the top gear.
You want to pedal at a high cadence 70-90 rpm’s with a lite pressure on the pedals. You body is more efficient at that speed. You want to do some interval training where you crank up the speed for 30-90 seconds and then drop back to recover.
