Ok so I'm having a bit of a nightmare since purchasing a turbo trainer for my hybrid. I hooked it up for the first time but the sound was awful with the ridged tyres I have. Doing a little search on here I find that I might need some specific turbo tyres. So I bought the Vittoria Zaffiro tyre recommended by some on here.
Getting the bastard thing on my wheel would test the patience of a saint. After struggling for ages I see on the tyre that it says its suitable for hooked rims only. So I'm guessing I don't have hooked rims. It would have been nice to know this before I'd purchased them :/
So what to do now. Are there any turbo tyres for non-hooked rims that are quite cheap. Is there a work around?
Right now I'm tempted to send everything back and forget about the whole idea
