Get a track pump. The little one you have is grand for emergency whilst out. Don’t fcuk about with anything other than a track pump at home.

Deoends. Is it a magnet on the spokes, and a reader on the forks?

110 psi for the back wheel, 100 on the front. Kelly goes off these numbers

Go 120 back n front; he’ll get a grand bounce off that :wink:

Doesn’t sound like it would. I’d say you’ve got a CAT EYE type job, and that won’t work.

However, you could get something like the below and it would work through your smart phone. My own speed sensor (Garmin) seems to have stopped working

Aye mon.

Yes it’s a Cateye thing.

PSI. For fuck sake. If you have as little left as a thumb and two fingers you can tell if your tire has enough pressure.

Righto. That won’t work for you.

The Wahoo speed sensor from a good Northern Irish business Chain Reaction seems that it would be a grand job for ya

Grabbed the internet by the horns and sold out for iirc 30 million.
Used be great for bargains. Less so now.

Did a 45 min cycle on turbo trainer there. Sun shining straight into me.

Had the following Spotify playlist created which played over the internet radio.

The Cult - Wild Flower
Fatboy Slim - Right Here Right Now
Beastie Boys - Sabotage
Bill Conti - Gonna Fly Now
Fatboy Slim - Praise You
Kiss - War Machine
Talking Heads - Burning Down The House
Jagwar Ma - The Throw
New Order - Everything Gone Green

I then finished it out with Willie and Danny by Gary Og on YouTube.

The weather is glorious.

I’m ordering a Garmin fitness watch so might get one of the Garmin equivalents of those, will this do the job I’m looking for with regard speed/distance etc on a turbo trainer?

Nope mate…that’s just a cadence sensor. You’ll need a speed sensor as well . What’s the fitness watch model you got?

Will you get a camera to clip on to your helmet and post up instances of motorists infringing your inalienable rights.

He’ll be on a turbo trainer so it’ll have to be imaginary motorists unless he’s doing it badly wrong.

I’d say that’d be no bother to our Fulvio
