Just bought a Kurt Kinetic Road Machine, with pro flywheel. I want to try something with higher inertia to hopefully reduce the gap between turbo and road power.

Good choice. Word on the street is that all the best people have a jolly green giant turbo lurking in their man sheds...

Oh my. What on earth is Kevy going to make of THAT sentence. :lol: :lol:

I was quite tempted to buy the big flywheel... in fact I think I still might before I 'go dark' for the winter and sneak off into my little pain chamber.

Of course, it will only make a difference on acceleration, not holding a constant speed. It might exacerbate tyre-slip, too.

Sorry to derail your sales thread. I might start a KK thread in the Technical section.
I had fun once. It was awful.

It should reduce the dead spot, in theory, so should be better at constant speed. I hope...

Quick bump as we're entering turbo season, and it would save me from using eBay ;)
