this isn't my video but this is precisely the problem, anyone know what could be causing that noise ?

I had my trainer set up In my garage to use whilst watching the last 90 mins of today's elite world championship road race for men. The current onset of noise from the trainer made itself known. The trainer tyre I use is the blue tacx one and I did a workout combining sets of 95 - 105+ rpm high cade...

Think I'm going to get the 105 med cage and 11-32 next week and give it a go, the discomfort of riding up 18% and 20% grades on 11-28 has piqued my curiosity, just hope the midrange works out.....fingers crossed

I've started riding a new route which includes a max 15% climb for approx 1km, a max 18% climb which is about 1.5km long and a max 20% climb which is about 1/2 km in duration. The first climb is steep but doable for me with my current s...
