Slakkepas Posted October 25, 2012 Share I`m doing a bit of research on buying `n indoor trainer. I`ve been told that you can fit a 29er on a Tacx genius trainer if you change the back to a road wheel. Anyone done this? Can it be done?

W3RN3R Posted October 25, 2012 Share Be aware of high speeds. The bearings seem not to enjoy the speeds. Had to return mine for warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiBones Posted October 25, 2012 Share Also not quite true. My 29er frame is too big for a giant idt. I need to put a 26 inch wheel on the back. Do a search. there was a similar thread about 2 weeks back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankman Posted October 25, 2012 Share Taxc will be releasing an adapter kit that moves the roller further back for 29ers... not sure on what their progress is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted October 25, 2012 Share The Cyclops trainers were designed to take a 29er wheel. It is never going to be a great experience with a knobby wheel though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudi Pollard Posted November 14, 2012 Share I just bought myself a 29er with a 10 speed cassette. I have a 26" wheel with a 9 speed cassette which I use on my indoor trainer. Can I use this on my new bike or am I going to mess something up? I will obviously be careful with shifting etc not to take it to either the largest or smallest cog at the back.

Not ideal ... your 10spd chain is narrower than 9spd. It will work in some gears but also remember that the pull increments differs with between 9 and 10 speed on the shifters. Your gears will be jumping around quite a bit .... normally somewhere in the middle. Just put a 10spd cassette on the 26er wheel and off you go!

Rudi Pollard Posted November 15, 2012 Share Thanks Tankman, Ya thats most likely what I would do. Just thought I can save a bit of money using the 9 speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
