I have a cyclo-ops mag+…with vittoria turbo tyre sat on folded carpet and them foam flooring interlocking kids panels. its in my loft and my wife said she can’t really hear it.

Quite a few kickr users on here now, I am mightily tempted.

Kickr and trainerroad, you know it makes sense.

Re the snapped frame- sorry that could have been coincidence or bad clamping/lack of routine re-check and retighten or twisting on/dismount with incompetent clamping.

Bought a Tacx blue T2650 pricematched at Evans for £97 and did 45mins whilst watching Dredd. I honestly don’t mind it. When its dark/chucking it down and you feel antsy its spot-on to get a spin-fix IMO.

I bought the Kickr as I thought if I am going to buy a turbo I might as well buy one I will use. I have not been disappointed. With Trainer Road is verging on enjoyable. If if I do swear at it sometimes 🙂

I’m amazed that people can’t get enough watts on rollers, what kind of numbers are you putting out?

379 for 20 mins, 920 for 30 secs. Can do iro 400 watts on rollers but at high cadence so doesn’t work for me for any sort of intervals or even sweet spot.
But I am chunky..

That’s a lot of watts!

I do my sweatspot and intervals between 80 to 90rpm, which is what I spin on the road, and put out between 300 and 400 at that cadence using gearing down to 53*11

105 rpm gets me to around 600 watts, its here that things get interesting on rollers.

Swedish Chef – Was ‘sweatspot’ a deliberate mistake? Either way, excellent work 🙂

😆
Typo, although very appropriate!
