TURBO TRAINER FOR FIXED BIKE

turbo trainer

I?ve just bought a 130mm fixed/freewheel and would like to buy a turbo-trainer for training indoors this winter.

The rear wheel is fixed with track nuts and all of the trainers I?ve looked at specify that they are only compatible with quick-release wheels. Can you recommend which trainers I can choose from?

Tacx makes axle nuts designed to fit securely into its range of trainers ? your dealer should be able to help. Since you have a 130mm-spaced frame (the standard road frame spacing), it should work on any trainer in its range without modification.
