scotty Posted June 2, 2009 Share Not sure what that will achieve other than to practice riding on a flat rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofie Posted June 2, 2009 Share I discovered something quite interesting the other day. I put a piece of insulation tape around my back wheel. After an hour of training the insulation tape was a polished silver colour, but it had not worn through to the tyre. I hate using my trainer indoors because small fragments of rubber rub off into like a fine dust and it is flipping hard to clean it up. But with the tape it worked hundreds and if you pump your tyre to 8 bars and then tighten the trainer properly you dont get the wheel slipping. Give it a try, lets see if anyone else has luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanm Posted June 2, 2009 Share that sounds intresting?? do you think duck tape would work better as its stronger and thicker?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofie Posted June 2, 2009 Share that sounds intresting?? do you think duck tape would work better as its stronger and thicker?? I dont know. One layer of insulation tape never even got eaten away so why try something meaner? Give it a try see if it works for you. OH yes! The only downside is that it leaves your tyre a bit sticky, but a few minutes on the road and it is all forgotten.
