Hi guys. i don't know much about bikes so hopefully I have the terminology and stuff correct.
i bought a magnetic turbo trainer for use with my bike. However I dont think it's the correct setup.
Basically when I attach the bike to the real roller assembly using the attachment onto the rear hub wheel, the chain stops spinning the back wheel and there;'s no resistance. I think this is because the gear cable gets pinched a bit, because when you loosen it the resistance comes back and the wheels move with the pedals.
Is there a way this can be made to work? Some sort of attachment? i dont think I have that odd a setup.
I could loosen the rear wheel in the trainer but this puts a strain on the hub when i sit on the bike (i'm not that big a person either) and something will definitely snap if I do it for long.
It's this trainer http://www.amazon.co.uk/Healthline-...g-Optional/dp/B00BHB66DQ/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_i
here's the wheel out of the trainer attachment with the gear cable thing coming out towards the bottom of the pic.
any ideas?
