Older Posted June 20, 2010 Share Hi, I have tried my MTB on the Rollers with the mtb tyres. Will there be more wear on the tyres than riding on gravel? Cycling Addict 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerhardc Posted June 20, 2010 Share ROLLERS OR INDOOR TRAINER? I would suggest that you put on a smooth 26inch tyre on your rear wheel or get a rear spare rim with a smooth tyre.....I cannot image you riding on MTB tyres on rollers or rear mtb tyre on indoor trainers...eish!!! :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentBikes Posted June 20, 2010 Share Agree with Gerhardc cannot see how that can work. I have seen what an IDT does to a normal road tyre eish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Older Posted June 20, 2010 Share Well it is Rollers nor the IDT but thanks for the feedback. The rollers has little friction but it does make a noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reteid Posted June 21, 2010 Share I tried mtb tyres once and apart from the smell of tyres burning the noise should have been an indicator that this not to be done.Long story short don't do it unless you want new tyres soon.There was some rubber lying all over the place.The wife was a bit upset but not as upset as me as I had to buy a new tyre.
