I feel that if a person wants to use studded tire on the highway there should be a tax of $50.00 each year. I am from the mountain area of washington state and never have trouble with out studded tires. How do you feel about this?
Most trainers will fit any size of bike, as the part of the trainer that rubs against the back tire is adjustable. One thing to keep in mind; make sure you put a slick tire on the back when you ride on the trainer, or you will have little bits of shredded rubber allllllll over the place. I speak from experience. As for which one to buy, you get what you pay for. You really don't need one with a remote as you can change gears on the bike to change resistance. I can recommend that you get one where there is a sort of lever on one side of the mounting mechanism that you lock and unlock as opposed to manually turning a handle to tighten and loosen the hold on the bike. I have a Blackburn Trackstand Fluid that I really hate because I have to turn a handle that is really hard to move to get the bike on and off. I used to have one that just locked on one side that was fantastic and was the best trainer I've ever had, but it got recalled :(
Here in the Bangor area we have red and yellow ones. I have yet to see a blue one though.
