[Closed] RipRow

So essentially a stagger stance deadlift on a wobble board? For a grand

Sign me up

Edit: I forgot the helmet

Edit 2: is he clipped in?

Strikes me as a good idea, particularly if you don't have a pump track in your back garden. It's push and pull and balance, all in a way that matches how you move on the bike.

Looks crazy,but I kinda like it.Could maybe be developed into a a very practical mountain bike fitting tool .

I use one of these

Very good for core.

I thought this was just to settle, once and for all, that reach increases with sag...

No wheel size . I'm out....

They missed a trick by not calling it the bell end balance board.

bizarrely I listened to a Trainerroad podcast just this morning with Lee McCormack on (he'd been coaching the TR guys) and he kept [s]plugging[/s] mentioning this. To be fair it's about as basic as I'd pictured it.

As per the bikeradar comments I'm waiting for the smart version that'll be compatible with Zwift Shred.

That's a prototype in the gif. This is the production version:

I'd like to try one. Shame they're so expensive!

...Pricing is set at £913 / $1,199 / AU$1,565; they can ordered on RipRow's site...

I will happily bolt half an old bike frame to a rickety pallet and charge only [s]half[/s] two thirds of that...

When I'm living my #vanlife I always take the time to dial in my moto stance.

It does go up to twelve, though. Which, I need hardly remind you, is one more than eleven.

Oh GW you've missed the point, owning one of these sends a real message to the other carpark bitches...

When you idly move your £900 bit of a frame nailed to a plank aside to retrieve your gnarpoon from the back of the T5, they'll know just how serious about your [i]#Enduro training[/i], so serious in fact, that you are willing to spend more money (and presumably time) on a bicycle simulator than a basic bicycle would have cost... That is super serious.

Rip(off)Row?

Love the adjustable resistance: 'Ours goes to 12'.

Not sure if this is a knowing self-parody or not. In the overall context of the product it's hard to tell.

Mostly it makes me think of Mr Garrison's monowheel, but maybe that says more about me than it does the product.

Genuine lol, thank you!

Everything about that ad screams 'FKW' to me.

edit- actually, reading it (the ad) again, that's a really good piss-take, right? Right?

Makes sense when you see the whole story

I know it's hard for gifted riders like GWorc to appreciate this but sometimes things other than riding a bike can make riding a bike more fun and better. And in some places you can't ride a MTB for a few months a year due to the snow.

That's why there are pubs near trails, not why the world was waiting for a one-man see-saw 🙂

Actually, thinking about it, I reckon it's not a huge stretch to be able to use that as a video game controller- Downhill Domination, anyone?

I went for the deluxe

A similar idea to the bike balance board? https://www.bike-balance-board.de/
