The Wattbike is probably a good product, but bear in mind that a lot of companies that make bad products sponsor great athletes
^^ Yep. It's a good, stiff erg. But so is my LeMond + old alloy road frame with some stiff bars and stem on it... it's what you do with it that counts. Really
At the track here our elite team has a collection of LeMond ergs (mostly for the pursuiters to warm up on, I gather), BT ergs, a Wattbike or two, and a customised contrabulous fantraption involving an old adjustable ergometer, a very big gear, and some stiff Alpina sprint bars. I don't think this is giving away too many state secrets...
