Been debating on a smart trainer, but would like a smart bike. Already have a workout room with some other stuff, and a big TV in that room which would work well with it. Hard call on spending the money though.
What's the consensus on carbon bikes attached to a smart trainer. Read that the Trek/Specialized frame warranty goes out the door with them.

I approve that post, even though you disappeared it as I was trying to quote it.

Sorry, I misread Bam's post (or he changed it) and my response was not really on point.
I will say that if I left $400 on the counter in the store and walked out with even one of the wheels, I'm sure I'd be in jail as well.
I'll also add, that the Wife asked me this weekend if the new rimz were as good as I had led her to believe. My response was, "Even better." She shook her head and walked away.

If I had one, I think it would have to go into the garage. I have a nice garage, white walls clean floors, but the idea of spinning for an hour or two in there is depressing. If I put it in the house I would be interrupted constantly. I’ll never get to the tour de france that way.

We used to crank the hell out of the company's carbon bikes on a trainer at the bike shop. Even the resident clyde never destroyed one. He held the record among us for instantaneous watts. Seems like it was in the mid 4000s, just crazy.

Did I show my trainer setup? I assume I must have, but here it is again.
That’s a 55” TV, a Roku, and a separate laptop (old Surface Book) dedicated to just running Rouvy.
AG has the H3 in the next room and just uses my iPad.

And those of us who were working in that time period are just mystified.

It was 29 when I left this morning. I opted out of the balaclava and regretted it after 2 miles. The amount of post nasal drip I swallowed combined with cold air had me almost puking.

I do find it annoying when I am wearing my balaclava, and snot drips on it and touches my face.
