Re: BikeErg Turbo Flywheel Retrofit

Just double checked mine and it was 42-225. Also took a look inside the flywheel housing and the newer coned flywheel is inside.

Re: BikeErg Turbo Flywheel Retrofit

Interesting. I must have the new flywheel on my BikeErg then. I tested DF range and I think it was 42-223.

When did they make the change? I think my bike was delivered to store in January of this year as there was a couple short workouts on the PM5 from then.

Re: BikeErg Turbo Flywheel Retrofit

I am not interested in a lighter damper setting for myself. I am quite comfortable spinning at lower cadences, I am used to hilly mountain biking, not road riding. Spending some time training at higher RPMs(100+) can be useful, just like spending time training at 60rpm can be useful but you probably...

Re: BikeErg watts at low cadence

Awesome! This is exactly what I was looking for! While 180w at 60 is not huge it is still a decent effort and 65 and 70 rpm are significant increases. These numbers are impressive. Thank you for your "research", pushing 600W is no joke. EDIT: Just noticed the drag factor is very different compared t...

BikeErg watts at low cadence

Hi, I am considering purchasing a BikeErg to compliment my Model D rower and an upgrade to my indoor bike, but I am wondering about the wattages that can be produced at lower cadences, 60 rpm for example. I am coming from a staionary indoor bike with a weighted flywheel and friction resistance, so I...
