Interesting, because i heard you could make a flat on you tyres....CarnageAX said:I have found my wheels wearing out when using a turbo trainer. After my work out there is a small pile of rubber dust below my wheel and there is a flat on my wheel surface.
Personally I would buy a roller system as they are much more smooth (lower wear rate) and mimic the road sensation closely.
Sounds like youve got slippage, increase the roller pressure (or reduce the resistance) and make sure your tyres are up to pressure and that the tyre is centered on the roller.CarnageAX said:I have found my wheels wearing out when using a turbo trainer.

Why would you brake while on a turbo trainer?mickle said:Rollers every time.
If you apply the rear brake while riding a turbo/ mag/ fluid trainer the roller keeps spinning and will burn your tyre.
A turbo specific tyre?? Wow, I just learned something (quite an acheivement for a know all).Jacomus-rides-Gen said:I have a pretty cheap Minoura Mag500 from wiggle - I find it excellent to train on, but it was outrageously noisy... until I bought a turbo specific tyre. I bought a Tacx one, expensive but brill.
