Think of it this way. Imagine pushing a shopping cart across a field. Now imagine pushing a bicycle across a field. Which is easier? The bike of course with its large wheels. smaller = more difficult |

Its all about effort put in on the trainer and having a predetermined workout plan. I never have a clue what my avg. Speed is on the trainer and have no need to. |

My avg speed on the road is faster than when I am on the KK trainer. I would assume that the road would be slower because of Red light and stop signs, but this is not the case. Am I tightening the knob on the trainer too tight? If I use less resistance the wheel slips. |
The thing is, my average speed is much FASTER on the trainer, yet I never feel like I am getting anywhere.

I think most troll posts start out with incorrect sentence structure to prepare the reader for the impending stupidity. Baby bike bolts was a classic example.
"Does anybody else has this issue?" is another excellent example. |

I'm going with "knob is too tight".
Who's with me?

The tire is seated against a small diameter roller. This creates more resistance than if you had a tire seated against a flat road. The smaller the diameter roller the greater the effort to turn it. That is why bikes have such large diameter wheels.

The bike of course with its large wheels. smaller = more difficult Sigh. Subtle humor is subtle. That the "knob is too tight" was originally referring to the rider, not the trainer. I'm not going to give up my day job. If I did, when would I post here? ;) |
I have a KK trainer. Tightening the knob doesn't affect resistance at all. You just want the knob tight enough that your wheel doesn't slip. Anything more is pointless, and in extreme, I suppose it might warp your wheel.

I dont trust my bike shop. They made a big scratch on my bike and I think one guy doesnt like me. :rolleyes: And they lose my screws and put some other one on messing up my fender. And they broke my pedal reflectors without telling me.

Don't blame us for your failed humor. I'm beginning to think that maybe it's not the knob that's too tight, and I worry that it might be contagious. You don't live near the OP do you? Can I get it by posting in this thread? |
