Tyre tips
Whether you do road or mountain bike training on the home trainer, we highly recommend using a tyre specially designed for use on home trainers.
It has the advantage of lasting longer thanks to its reinforced structure and harder rubber which reduces the noise of the wheels spinning.
Stability tips
When cycling on a home trainer, your bike's rear wheel should be stabilised and slightly raised. For greater stability, you should also use a front wheel riser block.
Benefits: 1- Stabilises the front wheel.
2- Raises the front wheel so that the bike is perfectly level.
Protection tips
When training indoors, perspiration often drips onto the bike or floor.
We recommend using the following equipment :
1- A sweat guard to stop perspiration (which is acidic) dripping onto your bike and damaging its frame. (ref. 8056757)
2- A home trainer mat, which reduces noise, increases stability, and protects the floor from perspiration. (ref. 8369937)
