Re: How many MEALS a day?

Me also 2 times a day, breakfast, no fry-ups, cereal is best. Frozen yogurt, not ice cream in summer, no greasy meat, aim for complex carbs before training. I believe the best way to get better, and that's just me unlike the guy above, is tons of ergs. It's not just about being lighter, but just bei...

Re: Change of Saddle

I also want to make changes specifically to improve indoor riding that you wouldn't do on a road bike. Like extra cushy saddles or fancy seatposts. As I start to fiddle with my bike fit so I'm curious about it and searching these pages for tips. I'm finding my current saddle is probably too stiff fo...

As a net result, I have acres of room in the toe box but am quite constri...

Re: Muscle Gain as a Lightweight

The weight doesn't matter much, but if it's too light, it's a lot harder to get a good set in. Go look up Muscle Mind Connection. When you do a set where you're doing full range of motion and completely focusing on your muscle contracting, you're going to grow a lot more than someone struggling to d...

Are they any good for keeping fit or very likely to be used as much as my 8-year-old nearly new turbo trainer?
Excellent for keeping fit. You just have to do one thing - use it regularly.
Great. Thanks for your kind reply tony:)

Re: A Comfortable Seat

Seat comfort comes up occasionally on this 200 forum, as well as other vehicle forums I participate in. I honestly have never understood why someone would buy any vehicle with seats they considered uncomfortable. Seat comfort is a VERY individual thing and to buy a vehicle with seats that don't fit ...
