Alan_R Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Treadmill... aka your clothes horse Anyone selling one or know the best place to buy? I already run a lot (outside) but mrs is adamant she wants one so figure i mays well get a decent one. Any advice on what to look for or avoid? I like the look of the curved self powered ones the gyms sometimes have but that is way out of budget for home use.

I was looking for one myself but i realised that it genuinely would end up being a clothes horse. Apparently you can buy ex gym equipment, that's your best bet if you want something decent that doesn't cost the earth. Someone mentioned it on Facebook but i didn't follow it up after realising that i'm a lazy basturt that probably won't use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS86 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 We asked on a Facebook Items for sale page and were offered several cheap, including one for free which we picked up and it was ace. I'd suggest trying that as folk might be happy to take a small amount just to get rid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh go on then, I'll give it a bash.... Why do you want to lubricate it OP? I like the belt on mine nice and tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
