A mag trainer uses a magnet for resistance. There is a limit on how much resistance you can get out of a mag set up. Fluid uses some combination of fluid and magnets (usually). The addition of the...

I have a blackburn fluid trainer. You have options of mag vs. fluid, remote or no remote... Just make sure it will fit your bike and has enough resistance settings. They hold their value so if you...

I stick to the trainer. You can get decent used ones for $100-200. DVDs help pass the time so do tv shows... But boring. I do mix it up with spinning classes as much as possible too. IMHO I don't...

Good news! Happy riding and hope the new seat post works out.

Don't do it! Sounds like you might need a seat post at a different angle or a fitting. Good luck.

Start small and build up to longer sets. I have my new athletes do 30-30 x4 the first week, 30-30 x6 the next week, and so on. If you can do more than 4 repeats the first time then you aren't going...

I would suggest building up your core strength too. I found this helped me a lot. I was hit by a car while cycling almost 2.5 yrs ago and suffered soft tissue injuries in my back as a result. I have...

Every cross series I've ever been near has a free weekly clinic where they let you practice on a real course. Check with your local bike clubs.

Practice mounts and dismounts. Then practice some...

Ha! Thanks! I haven't ridden up there in years.

Wish I had someone to borrow from. I have large feet and usually wear a 44 for cycling shoes. So this forces me into men's shoe territory and they...

+1 try everything you can and custom build

I am nearly 6 ft tall so it is hard for me to get a good fit. For my daily rider and city beater I bought a $400 frame off Ebay and got a new Shimano 105...

The mountain bike I will ride has SPDs and I normally use SPD-SLs on these roads shoes. So I would need to put on SPD cleats, which they have holes for. Never thought of using Eggbeaters though. I...

I am thinking about racing an off-road triathlon in my road shoes.

Why? They are super fast on/off. Super light. Stiff. And I don't have money right now to drop $200++ on triathlon ready mountain...
