geoffro Posted June 10, 2010 Share Guys I borrowed an indoor trainer from a friend to try out(RavX).It just about shredded my rear tyre in the space of 5 minutes trying it out!! Have I set it up wrong?Doesn't look like there is much one can do wrong. It is my road bike I was using. Any help please.

Zula Posted June 10, 2010 Share Indoor trainers do tend to eat normal tyres. Most guys use a training tyre which is a hrder compund, and is usually orange in colour to differentiate.

Thomo Posted June 10, 2010 Share Indoor trainers chow standard road tyres ... not within 5 mins though so I suspect that your tyre may well have been on its way out anyway.If you are going to be spending time on the trainer invest in a dedicated trainer tyre - I see that they come in different colour options nowadays rather than the original yellow/orange.Cost is ? R400. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/74524-indoor-trainer/#findComment-1066063 Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffro Posted June 10, 2010 Share And that means extra wheel AND cassette! That spinning bike in the gym is sounding much cheaper for winter! Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/74524-indoor-trainer/#findComment-1066077 Share on other sites More sharing options...
