Mikesa9 Posted September 17, 2012 Share I'm keen to buy an indoor trainer that I can put my 29er on. When I looked at a CycleOps trainer, I was advised that you cannot fit a 29er on to it. Does anyone know of a brand that a 29er will fit on to?Many thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fandacious Posted September 17, 2012 Share road bikes are all 29 inch wheels, so I would imagine any trainer would work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingalton Posted September 17, 2012 Share you should be able to use a 26er wheel on the back with a normal trainer.. just get the same type of cluster and a slick wheel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 17, 2012 Share or stick an old crappy road wheel on there. You don't need any brakes, so no need to bother with disc specific wheels etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr SingleTrack Posted September 17, 2012 Share I have an A-frame at home that works for my road bike but my 29er does not fit due to the 2.25 tyres that I have on the rims. That being said, I hate A-frames. Get yourself a roller with resistance settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr SingleTrack Posted September 17, 2012 Share Maybe with the knobbies it does not fit??But with a thinnish Slick tyre it should workit is the tyre volume that causes the problem Edited September 17, 2012 by Mr SingleTrack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil6 Posted September 17, 2012 Share it is the ryre volume that causes the problemYeah that's what I thought, much thicker tire volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used an old 29er wheel and just put a normal Conti road tyre on - works a dream. You can't go wrong with the CycleOps products - really impressed with the quality and build of the Powerbeam Pro. Have a look at www.bicyclepower.co.za - they are the local agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaBee Posted September 17, 2012 Share I'm with you - can't even get myself on a road bike on an IDT - and here they're positively trying to put a mtb on one?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deonkretch Posted September 17, 2012 Share For the life of me I cannot get myself to put my Mtb on my trainer.It looks like it's going to break my trainer.I had a choice between the 29er or my Daughters tricycle... 29er won... could not get the saddle extended far enough on the tricycle  Seriously, It's the only bike that I have and I like the idea of sitting in the same position on the same bike that I'll be riding in any race when I'm training.
