Need For Speed lol
 

So today i picked up my first trainer to go along with the rollers ive been using. Just to change things up well as i got bored on the trainer i decided to see how fast i can go. Managed to muster out 54 mph. Just curious what kinda numbers yall have put down on a trainer?

A lot slower speed than you, however I do have my set up so there is resistance. :D

A bit shy of 200mph when I forgot to engage the resistance roller

lol well the resistance on my trainer(CycleOps Mag+) was all the way up. But then again even riding normal on it i notice very little diff with the resistance all the way up. I'm actually a little disappointed.

Really?

because i sensed some doubt i made the ole lady take a picture and i managed to do better this go around just for yall....56 mph

two spoke magnets? :)


i just got a free cyclops mag trainer (to use), i hope it does alright.

I don't think anyone thinks you are lying, however the amount of resistance you are using is probably not very realistic compared to actually riding.

its good for using and not having to worry about balance but i thought there would be more resistance but i mean it will def still give you a workout if you go for a hour. plus you cant beat FREE.

Yea she got a little scared being back there, she said it sounded like a 747 taking off

im not. i am in Iowa and he is in Egypt


like i said, it is just mine to use. i am currently in an apartment and the rollers are too loud. i traded with someone temporarily. hopefully this is quieter. (i dont have a bum rear skewer to try it out)

What trainer are you using? How tight are you tightening it against the tire? Most require contact with the tire plus 2 - 2 1/2 turns.

Oh, a pissing contest. I'll join.

120km/h
I calculated it afterwards, and I hit 222rpm at that speed and gear.

O your 100% right on that because i have only been able to sprint up to 38 on a flat.

CycleOps Mag+ i set it till it looked like my tire was under load

I can hit 40 on my rollers, but that doesn't translate at all to on the road speed.

You are going to need to tighten it down some more. I would say try two full revolutions after initial contact to start with.

I am going to say BS...

over9000. one legged on a fixie while skidding.
drinking a PBR.

The speedometer was photo shopped. It was actually reading 16 mph.

ya just can't let me call BS can you..you're so burdened by the truth ;)

The rear wheel is raised...you are going down hill, cheater!

Now what you need are some climbing blocks...

0 miles per hour is the fastest I've ever gone on a trainer.

52.5...and I managed to wear a groove on the pvc roller on the trainer
