Buying a home trainer

[billy1561]

Thinking of buying a taxc sattori.
Q: Is it advisable to swop the rear tyre for use on this, or can i continue 'as is' with my current road tyres?
Or, even buying a replacement cheap rear wheel?

I use my road tyres on the turbo and always have done. The only problem I have seen with tyres is that if you brake hard the rear roller that provides the load can continue to spin, if it is a small diameter roller it can burn the tyre. Turbo tyres seem quite soft and leave small bits of rubber to clear up.

Same as above I have a Tacx Sattori and have always used my normal road tires with no ill effects.

I have seperate wheels as my turbo bike is also my normal commuting bike.
