    Effectively using a stationary trainer.

    I have the Kurt Kinetic Road Machine, and I love it as its quieter than any other trainer I've used / seen. Resistance is good as well, I run out of gears / resistance quite easily on my cheapy from Anaconda that I bought years ago. The Kurt also has a published speed vs power curve which...

    The stupid questions thread.

    From my understanding of road cycling, the winner shares the money with the team. Both riders, mechanics, soigneurs etc get a slice of those winnings, couldn't tell you the split and I think its agreed on a team by team basis. Now that may just be for road cycling though, as its pretty much a...

    Who uses their CTD

    SC Solo w/ the Kashima CTD fork and shock. I use C for riding on the road to the trails, and have left it mostly in D and not noticed any real negatives so haven't really tried T that much. With everyone else talking up T mode I might have to give it a whirl though.

    First MTB ride for the year, first over the bars for the year (and the first accident on my Solo...), plus the first time I've hit my face in an accident! Great year so far!

    Not happy with insurance repair offer. What are my options?

    I work in the IT department of a large insurance company group, and agree you really really really need to read the full PDS about what is and isn't covered. Especially on those offering the cheaper premiums. Not saying the companies won't try and weasel out of some things that should be...

    Unicycles

    I have one of the Aldi unicycles, but haven't learnt to ride it properly yet. I can ride 5m in a straight line and need to lean on something to get started. There's a lot of youtube videos on learning to ride a unicycle. For mucking around there's nothing wrong with them, especially at that...

    The stupid questions thread.

    Not a lot. But it'll be fun. Also, don't let a 2.5 year old hold the tube, they'll just create a nice puddle on your back deck that is a slippery hazard.

    The stupid questions thread.

    I liked my Forerunner 210, which has gone missing somewhere, probably misplaced by my daughter. Only issue is the watch band is not replaceable, and is falling apart and now held together with rubber bands and electrical tape. Only thing I wish it did was the silent vibrating alarm. Had...

    The stupid questions thread.

    I know people who use them as a step / movement counter, but don't know anyone who looks at the sleep quality side. I would like the fitbit wrist bands silent vibrating alarm functionality, so I can get up for a ride without waking the other half, but again, not justified for $100+. Would love...

    Queensland Gravity Enduro State Champs.

    Sorry Andy, wasn't asking if it was ok to go in Sports category! Was just checking that amount of travel + tyre choice would be ok! I'd much rather come 50% of the way through the field and be pushed hard than come 1st where I shouldn't be.

    Watching World Cup with shit Internet...?

    Wifi on my laptop stuffs up when it starts running hot (which it likes doing). So after about 10 / 15 minutes of watching it starts to chunk like mad. I have successfully used an FLV downloader to grab the videos (DH and XC) after they've finished streaming, and then watched later. Not on my...
