Minoura bike trainer! (Yeeha.....!!!!!!)

Hmmm......have not posted here for some time. Actually, been quite busy with work and was running up & down for a seminar we organized recently at Beverly Hotel.

Furthermore, the weather sucks and have not been cycling for about 2-3 weeks.

But, I did manage to get a stationary bike trainer from KL while on holiday. The brand is Minoura and i have managed to get some mileage on the trainer. Unfortunately it's not as good as the actual riding experience and you can get bored easily. I watched a DVD movie on my laptop while on the trainer and that makes it bearable. The movie was about 90 minutes so I managed to spin at about 70rpm cadence for some light workout. Without the movie, I think I can only last about 30 minutes or so.

Unfortunately, I can't make use of my Vetta cyclo-computer to get a cadence read out and heart rate reading on the trainer. I'm making use of Dav's Kona Stinky hardtail for training purposes. The stupid thing is, I can't use my own Stumpy on the trainer as my Shimano XTR wheels's spokes are not the typical spoke setup! Should have used Mavic Crossmax wheels instead of Shitmano! ha..ha....

Picutres of the trainer are attached.

That's a short update and got to go to shower.....mandi bah.......very smelly.......???!!!!!!!!*******
