Building a training wheel for an IDT

[ZOINCS]

Due to the lack of finding a wheel to use on the IDT what are the suggestions in regards to this build:

[Giant]

Get a chain as well,

Swap out the chain, with a sram link when you swap wheels.

When ever I have a training wheel race wheel setup, I have a chain for each cassett.

Stops having different wear issues.

also, probably worth getting an IDT specific tyre, so much less noise, and lasts

I will rather just get a 2nd hand MTB wheelset for like R800, sometimes it includes a casette.

Just for IDT purposes you dont need to spend much, you need to have any old wheel with a cassette that matches whats on your normal riding wheel i.e. 9 speed / 10 speed and the same ratios.

 

Does not need to be expensive unless you want to use the IDT wheel as a back up for your normal wheel then you need to factor in the other stuff to make a quick and easy change possible

 

As for a tyre, i've used a simple 26" Continetal slick (see pictures) which has done over a 100hrs on my IDT and it looks like it could do quite a bit more
