Is it powered off the tire like an old-fashioned generator light? How much drag to you feel? You want drag while riding a trainer anyway.
Oil is good, grease is better.

It is powered like the old fashioned generator light. There is some drag, yes. But I could have done this for a long, long time. The thing that drags got really hot. I'm not sure that's good. I will contact the extracycle people and see what sort of tire they recommend. There are good gatorskins on this bike now and i'm not sure that's the best combo.
It was a banana mango smoothie.It's honestly the first one I ever made. I would like any smoothie recipes you guys want to share with me!

You are brilliant! Wouldn't it be cool if we could power our homes this way? I had an idea for a Gym (I'd call it "the power station") that would generate power from gym equipment. Too bad I know nothing about how to make it work, or if it would work.
