Turno - Belt tension
Posted: Mon Apr 03, 2023 8:55 am
Hello
New to the Turno and the smart trainers after more then 20 years on a well used Tackx. I installed the Turno last week and had a few rides on it. The only thing I notice is that, or something is not quite well installed or my general form has gone back a gazillion leagues.
Is there a possibility that the tension is not correct and that this generates more resistance. I'm riding on a 11-25 cassette and a 42-52 chainring in front. I constantly have to ride 42-21, 23 or 25 to keep me going and then again it feels like agony.
If there is a basic tension for the bolts regulating the belt, I would love to know. In this way I can put them to this basic tension, test and see what it gives me.
But it doesn't quite feel well that I can't manage to produce a regular feeling on the trainer. Like currently warming up and cooling down isn't really possible.
Any tips on using the Turno are welcome as well.
thanks
Cheers
Kevin
