Indoor Trainer nightmare

Recommended Posts

Maybe put a normal road tire on ,it fits perfect on the 29er rim and then your bike will most probably fit!

 

Thanks, I will definitely try that.

The giant one won't take a 29 wheel either. I whip the 26" wheel from the Missus' bike. Gears the same. Its not the wheel, but more the frame size and geometry

 

I think that's exactly what the problem could be. It's almost like I needed 1,5cm more space between the bike and the roller and it would fit.

Thanks though.

As said above... Why don't you use an old 26" wheel with a slick tyre.

 

OR buy youself a set of rollers.

 

Well I am worried about the 26" wheel being compatible with the 29er gears? Pardon my stupidity here.

Maybe rollers are a better option.

Fat2fit, just make sure the cassette has the same number of gear options. Ie. 9 or 10 speed.

 

 

Mtb 29er on an IDT? Huh?

Mtb 29er on rollers? X2 Huh?

 

That is if your MTB 29er is your only bike. When I first got a set of rollers 20 years ago, I learnt to ride them on a MTB.

Indoor trainer nightmare....pffft

 

Try falling off your trainer and hitting your head against the wall.....

Or

Use a air resistance trainer when one of those fans decide to disintegrate....

 

or against the wheelie bin parked in the garage...
