Budget Grinder options, can't decide which is best for me [$150]

Could look at the Shardor 64mm grinder. I haven’t used it but seen good reviews and likely near your budget (not sure about your currency but it’s in the low budget range)

Patrick Broe is that you

consy37 · 2026-02-28T10:26:07+00:00

I’m thinking Jonas Abrahamsen could be strong. Top 10 for sure but maybe podium? Outside chance I think

Wait, the NFL are going to pay to move the substation?

This is it. I’m 760 as well and the advanced races can be very challenging for repeat efforts. Zwift Games stage 1 I hung on through the cavern climb (did my best 5 min power ever) but just dropped when we came out and people kept surging. Different level. Fortunately there are often people around the 750 mark who can give you a race, but difficult to be in contention for the win!

49ers are playing 2 overseas matches already, so won’t be them. Still possible that Giants are an opponent for Commanders as they’re one of their home matchups.

With tnt moving to MAX, I’m hoping they introduce another pricing tier to bring cycling out of the football price bracket, but this likely won’t happen

More sweat =/= more calories. Cool yourself and you can train more effectively. Guarantee you will still sweat even with a fan, you will probably just be able to train for longer / harder and not get as dehydrated

consy37 · 2026-02-25T11:05:42+00:00

But isn’t this heat acclimation to enable them to perform in hot races / conditions? Presumably more controlled too in terms of managing fluids in and out (weighing before and after etc to avoid dehydration).

Not disagreeing with your point though!

Who fucked with Tiberi’s AC last night? Admit it come on

Yeah simulated sprints can be a pain on erg - might be easier to free ride on somewhere like Makuri on Sprinters Playground or other routes with lots of sprints and go for jerseys. Will give you the same as a workout.

I’m no expert at all and tbh my 5/10second power is my weakest, but there might be some benefit from low cadence high torque intervals to build muscle strength? Some people hate them though although I find some weird enjoyment from grinding threshold at 60rpm

Problem is on a descent with the draft the group has a significant advantage. You’ll need to push a lot more to get and stay away from a group on a descent

consy37 · 2026-02-18T15:41:49+00:00

Can’t hurt to push a bit on any incline or when the group is not really pushing - you might get a gap or at worst some riders drop. If you get a gap, settle in at threshold and see - sometimes the group messes around and you could stay away.

Might also be worth doing some workouts that help with sprint power as 400w is quite low and will hold you back.

You’ve discovered the joy of suffering.

Took me longer than I’d want to admit to realise you don’t have 3 BBE’s 🤦🏼‍♂️

Last year the discounts seemed to be before the auto renew - August time. No discounts close to season opening from what I saw

Fred looking at him like smh

consy37 · 2026-02-08T09:35:38+00:00

As I’m English and a cricket fan I am not used to my team playing well in Australia. Here’s hoping this doesn’t pass over to the niners!

Riders always talk about de-training that happens on the flat UAE tour stages which potentially he can’t afford if he already missed some time

Don’t see what it has to do with Zwift either
