Hi,

got a quick question / problem with my Turbo training.

I find that after about 15-20 mins on the trainer the "old fella" (as some people call it) goes numb. All returns to normal a minute of two after finishing. I don't get this problem when I am actually out on the road, only when on the trainer.

I wear full padded bib shorts - but whilst on the trainer I just stay on the saddle (never get out to simulate climbing, sprinting, etc.).

Does anyone else suffer from this? Any advice?

Thanks

Justin

Yes, it's easy to cure it.

I'm just toooooo embarrassed to post the remedy!

I think you've answered your own question Justin, when you say you sit on the seat the whole time. I would suggest making an effort to move around and off the seat fairly regularly to stop the numbness and get the blood circulating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

have you risen the front wheel?

Yep - have it on a 1.5 inch block of wood, it could do with being a bit higher I guess.

Seeing the earlier responses maybe I should get out of the saddle a bit, however I like to use the TT as a way of riding at constant pace for a set period (I do vary it - with upping the pace for 2-3 minutes followed by 2-3 minutes slow).
