Online Racing - Virtualtraining (Cyclops)

[Joeboy69]

Recently purchased a Powerbeam Pro. Really a nice unit. I seem to have rubber buildup from the tyre on the trainer after every ride. Is this normal?

 

Had a LOT of that, but then again I was still using a knobby MTB tyre :-( Bought another rim and smooth tyre, so now swap out wheels between IDT and riding outside, no residu on the floor any more. Also MUCH quieter thus worth the investment :-)

Thanks all for the advice. I use a spare cheap 26" wheel with "RADON" 26" road tyre fitted to a MTB. I pump the tyre to 4 bar pressure. Perhaps the tyre compound is soft or pressure too low. I have the same problem with a Tacx blue indoor training tyre...Will try higher pressure to see if that solves the problem.
