NordicTrack Grand Tour
I'm looking to buy an exercise bike. I have read about a negative being the 16 Lb. Effective Flywheel.
What does this mean? How is it negative?
Thanks

A heavy flywheel can make it hard to change speeds, especially increasing. It just takes more effort to make the wheel increase in speed. Honestly, I don't see it as a negative; it's just the way the bike works. But after looking at that bike the seat concerns me more. It looks like a soft seat, and if it's covered in vinyl it will become very uncomfortable very quickly. Also, can this bike work with Zwift? A minor thing, but it would be a stopper for me.
