I have a trainer (CycleOps Supermagneto Pro) and been told it would be wise to put a different tyre on my rear wheel to suit trainer use (such as http://www.wiggle.co.uk/cycleops-trainer-tyre/). However, I'd prefer not to keep swapping the tyre, so thinking it would be wiser and easier to get a complete second rear wheel and quickly swap that instead.
I'm not hugely technical and never bought separate components for my bike, but my first thought is that It would be best to have a similar or even identical rear wheel to avoid the risk of having to realign the dérailleur after swapping the wheel. I'm a casual rider and use the trainer for exercise purposes only, and would prefer not to spend too much.
Any advice, guidance or suggestions hugely appreciated. To be honest not sure where to start. For information I have a Raleigh AIRLITE 200 (2010 model) which has the following specification:
- 700C Rigida Nova rims on Formula hubs fitted with Michelin Dynamic 25mm tyres
- 9 speed cassette, 12/25 tooth (mainly Shimano Sora groupset with FSA’s compact Vero chainset)
A quick google and something like this looks very similar and reasonably priced - any thoughts?
