bike trainer49 Honestly.how LOUD is a spinning bike?
mrmagoo asked:


I want to buy a used spinning bike, but I’m in an apartment building…will it vibrate down to the lower floor? Is it noisy?

I bought a trainer for my regular bike, but it was really noisy!!! Had to take it back…I want to avoid making a mistake with this purchase….

I need an indoor workout that’s quiet!!! Any makes/models that are particularly quiet!

thanks…

Beaser asked:


I used to race BMX and Mountain Bikes competitively when I was a kid but it has been years since biking. I recently was given a free Murray bike which is about the heaviest and junkiest bike I have ever ridden on. I used to ride Cannondale and Trek. Unfortunately with 300 dollars I know I am very limited for my selection.

What, if anything can I get for 300 dollars or less that would be a decent bike? I ran across a gentleman selling a 2005 GT mountain bike with cyclops trainer and road tires/accessories (odometer, etc) in a package deal for 250. I did a little research and it seems that would be a really good deal. Should I check it out? Or any other recommendations? It’s been awhile and I want to jump back into it now that I have located some good trails within an hours drive of my new location.

Thanks again.

Algore asked:


I have multiple sclerosis and until a few days ago I could not walk. So my muscles have lost a lot of strength. I am going to use a bicycle to get in shape. Unfortunately, I still can’t go outside. Would you recommend an exercise bike or a regular bike with an indoor trainer so I could take it out when I am able. Please also include what types of either you would recommend. I have about $500.

bike trainer25 Road bike wheels?
♥Jennifer♥ asked:


OK OK so dont give me hell about owning this bike. I have a Schwinn Prelude from Target. I am now seeing that the wheels/ rims are a problem. They are constantly popping the inner tube. I can’t afford (right now) the bike I really want (a 650 Felt), so I was thinking about buying new wheels. I need to find quality wheel set for cheep, like 100 bucks or less. I would like to buy new wheels so I can ride for now and save for a new bike later.
Or if I cant find wheels what about the rim tape? Can I double or triple the amount of tape on the rim to protect against popping the innertube. All I did today was take my bike from the trainer inside to the garage to inflate the tires, left home and came back and the tires were blown out.

Or if there is something else I can do please suggest.
yea its kinda like blown out.. there are holes in the rim where the spokes are… the spokes are tight.. checked thoes.. when I inflate the innertube the pops or blowes are big holes where the holes in the rim are it looks like the inner tube is being sucked into the hole and blowing…
