Hi,
this being the middle of summer, a Mainer's mind turns naturally to winter. Which is, after all, a couple days away up here (Ok, so I'm paranoid, nuts, wacko, you didn't see the winter we had up here last year). Decided I am going to turn an old bike into a trainer. I did a search of the old posts here; but came up empty.The Kurt Kinetics trainer
was a Bicycling magazine's Editor's Choice. It's also very expensive, over $300 if you include shipping for the road model. I find it annoying they charge a lot more for a flywheel that weighs a couple pounds more. Anyway, that is the situation, any thoughts? Ever try Spinnervals, or any other training stuff?
