I did a tyre on a ride up in Windsor and had to get a replacent sharpish as I was only visiting. The only bike shop was in Bagshot and they only had one suitable tyre in stock. A Schwalbe One tubeless which they insisted was fine for tubed as well.
I beg to differ…
Two inner tubes, scuffed knuckles and most of an afternoon trying to get the twat on but I had to admit defeat and shelve the rest of the weekend.
I feel your pain
I spent 3 months training with a marathon canoeist who was rehabilitating after a spell in hospital due to contracting vials disease whilst training.
I only agreed to keep him company but it's fantastic for all round fitness.
We used to do 5 days of interval training and on the 6th day we did a 9k row.
My arse used to pucker at the thought of it!
I played squash the other week, first time since the first lockdown, after 30 minutes my arm was ready to drop off. Another reason why I decided to get a rower, and the good thing was £50 from facebook marketplace
I haven't played squash in 2 years now. I'm really missing it as the league I played in at work hasn't started up yet. My old regular partner is getting back to fitness again so hopefully in the next couple of months I should be back on the court.
I'd recommend the interval training on the rower as it keeps it from getting monotonous and it's a real fast track way to build up your fitness on it.
Not ridden on Marathon Plus's then one of the few tyres I need to use a tyre lever on
Current regretting selling my road bike for a spin bike! The position and general ride on a proper bike on rollers just feels so much better. I basically just do GCN spin classes as my main form of exercise now. I wonder if a smart/direct drive trainer would work on my MTB if I get the right gearing, or a trainer that can further adjust the intensity without traditional gearing? As I imagine my 32t will spin out quite easily on a regular cassette.
With the right smart trainer and App controlling it your bikes gearing becomes irrelevant the Trainer controls the resistance. As an example I do 3X12 min at 220 watts the trainer just holds you there whatever gear regardless of cadence. The only issue can be the spiral of death - this happens if you reduce cadence and the resitence overwhelms you 220 watts at 0 rpm is a massive strain
I've got a Tacx flow 2 and have used garmins own software, RGT and swift to varying success. I'm about to give RGT another go and try some group rides on it.
