hehe are both of them yours? loyal ka talaga sa anthem ah

yup dhx air to coil. according to reviews masresponsive daw yung coil sa small bumps and definitely can take bigger drops plus maspogi tingnan mas heavier lang by a couple of grams

*akosidags, it was selling for php129k at cycle option got it at a discounted price

*yaj, are you using mtbike or roadbike? there's a new kind of trainer kasi na you clamp the resistance at the rims, not at the tires. this is better since yung old one you have to use slick tires, di pwede may knobs dun sa roller. ok lang naman yung old type, tamad lang aku magpalit ng slicks to knobby tires and back so i use my road bike since nakaslicks na. tsaka napupudpud yung tires dun sa roller

when i do intervals (max spin at certain period) there's a moderate whirring sound made by the steel roller, kung ok insulation ng room mu, it wont bother other people naman, definitely wont be heard by your neighbor. but kung regular spin lang i can still watch tv

miLes, pano mo i-clamp yung resistance sa rims kung disc specific yung rim?

miLes, pano mo i-clamp yung resistance sa rims kung disc specific yung rim?

mali pala yung term ku, tire drive and rim drive pala tawag dun, here's how it looks, sayang nga the rim drive was only selling for php5.5k sa ross before eh nakabili naku nung tire drive *5k

Di ba magagasgas yung rims dyan?

*miles, i am using an mtbike, pero naka slicks ako since madalas sa road lang ako nagbibike (dapat ata nag road bike na lang ako hehe). Nag-reresearch din ako sa net, eto ata yung sinasabi mo na rim type yung resistance...

may 3 types pala yung trainers na ito, wind resistance, magnet at fluid. tanong ko lang ano pong type yung sa inyo? tsaka yung sound ng roller, how loud is it? parang naka high ba ng electric fan or mas malakas pa?

*boybi, hm di ku nga alam eh, maybe the rollers are made of hard rubber

*yaj, mine's the minoura mag850, tire drive lang yung akin

well kung regular spin lang (around 30-35kph est) yup electric fan lang lakas ng sound maybe even lower, but kung all out spin, medyo malakas lakas na yung sound. what you can do is kung all out spin, try the max resistance para di rin mabilis yung spin nung flywheel. the strong sound is coming from the fast spin of the flywheel kasi

pansin ku lang mas nakakapagod magtrainer, 30mins lang spin ku my quads feel like its going to explode hehe

Siguro pag trainer kasi, mas concentrated ka sa pag pedal. Kung nasa trail kasi, concentrated ka naman sa dinadaanan mo.

*miles, thanks po sa mga inputs. baka makadaan ako sa cartimar this weekend. sana makahanap ako na swak sa budget hehe
