JetBlack, Bicycle Trainer for Ramadhan/Fasting Month

I changed the rear tire of my Kona Cinercone MTB to a cheap (RM20), slick tire and attached it to the JetBlack Magnetic Turbo Trainer

Not exercise/cycling for 3 days since the start of Ramadhan. Now I can ride the MTB with this new trainer, at night after Tarawih Prayer or 1/2 hour before Iftar. This will be my long-term investment, training during rainy days or if I'm in no mood to ride outdoor.

Tested for 30 minutes this morning.So far so good...

Testing Continental Grand Prix 4000S Tires

Grand Prix 4000s with SRAM S30AL rim and Boardman SLR 9.8 frame. Not as beautiful colour match as Yellow Schwalbe Lugano, but I can sacrifice that for ride comfort.

I change my bicycle tires from Schwalbe Lugano to this new Continental Grand Prix 4000S (700x23C) Clincher.
Lugano is an entry-level tire. I have chosen that primary for the yellow colour that matches the frame's inner fork and downtube colour. When I cycled for 115km last Sunday, I was not happy with the harsh ride that gave me numbness in my feet/soles. Riding the rougher surface road (old Bentong road) from Simpang Fraser's Hill to Simpang Lee Rubeer was terrible.

Early tests show a very promising feel. Don't know whether it was a placebo effect or not, because  I had only tested the new Conti tires for only 35km. Pumped at 110psi as recommended for casual/training,  I can feel the different, more supple, smooth, faster rolling compared to Lugano at 100psi. I will try it for a longer distance and on a more rugged road later. Maybe I can try this 155km route this weekend, Raub-Benta-Kerambit (via Tanjung Besor -Jerantut road)-Kuala Lipis-Benta-Raub. Only then I will know the real performance. (stay tune!)
