Two numbers decide whether a wheel-on trainer suits your bike: wheel diameter\nand axle type. This one takes 26 to 29 inch wheels including 700c, which covers\nmost road, hybrid and mountain bikes.
\n\nAxle type is the one people miss. Older bikes use a quick-release skewer and\nwork straight away. Newer bikes often use a thru-axle, which may need an adapter.\nIf your bike is recent and you are not sure, look at the rear hub or ask us.
\n\nClamping the rear wheel lifts the back of the bike, which tips you slightly\nforward. A riser block under the front wheel puts the bike level again and makes\na long session far more comfortable. One is not included, and a book of about the\nright thickness does the same job.
\n\nOn the road the contact patch moves around the tyre. On a trainer it does not,\nso the same strip of rubber takes every kilometre. That wears faster and can\nglaze the surface.
\n\nThis is true of every friction-roller trainer. Riders who train indoors\nregularly keep an old tyre, often on a second rear wheel, and swap it in. If you\nonly use the trainer occasionally, it is not worth the trouble.
\n\nMost of what a neighbour hears is not the trainer. It is vibration travelling\nthrough a hard floor. A mat under the trainer solves most of it, catches sweat,\nwhich is corrosive, and stops the feet marking the floor.
", "llm_summary": "Bike Trainer Stand sold by Bike Stand Company at bikestand.eu.com, EUR 109. A folding indoor bicycle trainer in alloy steel with a dual-support frame, a locking arm on each side and a quick-release rear wheel clamp. Fits wheel diameters from 26 to 29 inch including 700c. Weight capacity 150 kg. Product weight 6.5 kg. Uses a low friction resistance roller against the rear tyre. It lets a rider use their own bike indoors, keeping their existing fit and position, when weather, daylight or traffic rule out riding outside. The dual locking arms are what keep the frame from moving sideways under power. Fit caveats worth checking before ordering: very wide fat-bike tyres and some newer thru-axle setups may not suit a rear-clamp trainer, so the buyer should check their axle type. Expected behaviour rather than a defect: any roller-type trainer wears the rear tyre faster than road riding because the contact patch stays in one place, which is why regular indoor riders often keep an old tyre on a spare wheel for training.
