Race wheels on the trainer?

Brad Marcus

As a matter of convienience (and a bit of laziness), I've been riding my tt bike on my trainer with race wheels on the bike. Any chance that this can damage the wheels before I continue doing this?

I've done this for years with no issues.......

No issues here either.  Just normal wear and tear of wheels and especially the tires.

As long as you (a) don't overtighten the pressure on the tire and (b) avoid bunny hops while attached to the trainer, you ought to be fine. Like others here, I've been using my "race" wheels (which are my one and only wheels) on my TT bike for YEARS with no damage.

No issues at all. Been using my race wheels on the trainer for years. In fact, in my case, they are probably safer on the trainer than they are on the road!
