ma loo skewer non è tutto il passante di acciaio (spero) su cui si incastranto i forcellini ? per intenderci lo 'spiedino' (da dizionario :) ) su cui tutto è infilato compreso pacco pignoni?
What about the LeMond Revolution Trainer?
LeMond Fitness sold their business to Hoist Fitness about two weeks ago. Since then I’ve been on a bit of a path to figure out what’s going on with the Revolution Trainer – which got quite a bit of attention last year for its realistic feel.
Well, I made a lot of phone calls today. First, starting with my usual LeMond Fitness PR contact. No longer there. Then to a known engineering contact at LeMond Fitness – also, now gone. Then, since their website said to “Call for Availability” for the Revolution Trainer, I did that. Turns out that put me in touch with the Hoist folks. The Hoist person that answered the phone explained that the Revolution Trainer wasn’t part of the sale deal, and that she’d take my number and down the road they’d call back once things were cleared up.
So now I dig around and find an old PBX number in an e-mail years old for LeMond Fitness, where a person answers (woot!). Except, she’s never heard of the Revolution Trainer (having been to their relatively small building, I’m somewhat boggled by this). I explain that’s a bit odd and is there anyone else she can ask. She puts me on hold and asks around and clarifies that Hoist now owns that piece as well. She was helpful though, in that she explained only about 2-3 people are left at LeMond to effectively clean things up, and everyone else was let go and is gone. But, she gave me the name of the marketing person at Hoist to call.
So, back to Hoist I go, this time asking for the marketing person – who was quite knowledgeable. Turns out the initial Hoist person was mostly correct. Hoist technically bought the Revolution as part of the larger LeMond deal, but has no plans to offer it for sale. Instead, they’re looking to sell the product line back to Greg LeMond. What Greg does with it is anyone’s guess. I’d wager sell it to another company.

Which, brings me back to why there’s no way I’d recommend it at this point.
Ragazzi io invece vorrei comprarlo. La ventola e' rumorosa ?
l'ho comprato ieri, nel week visto che danno pioggia lo provo e vi faccio sapere
con iemond non hai una resistenza impostabile ma sfrutti quella simulata dell'aria.
in soldoni: indurisci i rapporti e basta. per chi come me non è cancellara già il 52-11 è sufficiente per far allenamenti a 60 rpm magari per chi ha ben altra gamba è poco.
