Odd question, maybe, but I'm wondering if mine is broken
I'm coming back from a broken arm and after two months plus of no exercise at all I figured to take pretty much any opportunity to get some fitness back - so, I enrolled in a lunchtime spinning class at a gym (got a good two week introductory offer). Their stationary bikes have bands, and it's possible to wind the resistance on until you can barely turn the pedals while standing on them.
Anyway ... back home and playing with my turbo, which I believe to be a CycleOps Mag (I bought it a few years ago, so it may not be exactly that model, but it's definitely that make and definitely mag resistance) and wondering if it's normal that I can't get enough resistance on it to pedal out of the saddle without perpetually feeling like I'm about to come crashing down on the top tube. Do other resistance technologies (e.g. fluid) provide more of it, or is this one broken? It has four resistance settings and I've tried them all in 50Tx12, maybe I should get a bigger chainring
