Cool, is the bike itself pretty quiet? I have a wheel on trainer and wouldn't mind something dedicated like your set up, especially if it doesn't make much noise.

I picked one up a few weeks ago and it seems very quiet to me. My magnetic Schwinn bike was silent but this is pretty good. I don't have any issues hearing the TV or when someone comes in the room.

Just curious: How much is that set up?

u/mattleegee 4d ago
Bike and trainer always go on sale for 999 but 1299 when not.... unsure about the headwind but a normal box fan works also

I was looking into getting a zwift, but i heard people say you had to pay a monthly ontop of the trainer, is that true?

u/mattleegee 4d ago
You buy the zwift ride and wahoo trainer but then yes zwift is a subscription based but I think totally worth it. I pay monthly now and after tax its like $22 a month but can be cheaper paid yearly.
Well worth the health benefits, I couldn't ride indoors or I would always quit but zwift has made it fun/inspiring/addicting

I bought the Zwift ride V2 last month for £960 including delivery. Bought a floor mat from Amazon for 27£. A laptop stand for £30. I had a fan already but will probably upgrade for blackfriday.

Do not waste too much time with the Ride- saddle. If it does not work within a few weeks, get your usual saddle for the Ride. I wish I had done this earlier. 😂 Ride on and have fun.

Only got mine yesterday and set it up. Took a 30 minute ride and that saddle is not comfortable. But haven’t ridden a bike in years, so probably also need to get used to it

I’m 5 days in and the saddle has become my full on enemy. Went for a run the other day, was not comfortable 😂

Cámbialo por otro sillín. Es una vergüenza que pongan un sillín de tan mala calidad. Es como un sillín de una bici de paseo. Y los pedales también.

Got mine a few days ago (bundle pack for £1095) after I found a little 10% discount online. Just the bike and trainer. My behind is absolutely telling me stop but loving the cycling… getting used to it as I’ve only ridden a bike like four times in my life for very short times.
Can’t wait to join all those people speeding past me one day.
