turbo trainer and older bikes

[GarryG]

Does anyone know if a tacx blue motion pro pack turbo trainer will work with an older bike with 27 x 1 1/4 wheels/tyres?

Thanks

Garry

I'd guess so based on there being what, an 8mm difference in diameter of the actual rim? A similar sort of variance you could expect from various tyres on the same 700c rim. I'd be pretty surprised if the manufacturer had not built in enough adjustment to accommodate that!

Agree with Rob on this one, I used to run 27 on a few turbo's.

Sounds good, one of the above is for sale locally, just need the mountain bike to sell now to fund it.

I think Tacx do conversion kits for different sizes of wheels.
