  1. Greetings.

    I need your assistance in acquiring an exercise bike for home use to recover from a knee injury and to maintain fitness in a car/truck-free zone.

    I am chasing something like this one with a heavy flywheel at front with the following minium specs.
    http://www.fitnessmarket.com.au/shop/pr ... ctid=16397

    •Stainless steel 25kg heavy-duty flywheel
    •Belt drive
    •For use in professional spinning classes
    •Adjustable resistance via felt pad
    •Emergency stop button
    •Adjustable seat - forward/backward and up/down.
    •Includes 2 water bottle holders

    I am fairly well set on having a heavy duty SS flywheel at front as my first priority and commercial grade as a key second priority.

    What other criteria should I fous on or look out for when selecting a suitable bike to achieve my aims?

    What are solid brands to consider?

    What are some other forums I should visit to obtain further information?

    Is "Spin Bike" the correct naming for this type of bike? If not, what is?

    My budget is up to $1500 AUD.

  2. [lang=nl]Hi Ago,

    At the sports centre where I teach spinning classes we recently upgraded to Spinner NXT bikes, which are great. They are quite robust which results in almost no movement/slack of the saddle or steering, which is a problem with the cheaper models. You can take a look over here:
    Spinner Fietsen: Trainingsfietsen van Spinning

    Saris/Cycle ops has indoor bikes which look the part. However they are not cheap...
    Saris Cycling Group

    I think the most important things to look for in a spinning bike are;
    * Stepless/Continuous adjustable seating position (height and horizontal position).
    * Sturdy construction; no movement of the saddle or steering.
    * +- 20 - 25 kg flywheel
    * Possibility to mount a proper saddle (like the on your real bike).

    Hope to have helped a bit. Ciao
