Bike leaning on turbo trainer

[Johnym]

I have a bit of lean on my turbo to the left. Not a huge amount, but it is noticeable and annoying. I tried all sorts to fix, but couldn't get it resolved. In the end I resorted to the old fashioned way - couple of bits of cardboard folded over and slipped under the left hand side turbo feet. Seems to work a treat.

If you can't get it adjusted properly, you should send it back to be changed. If you can't be bothered with the hassle, I'd recommend the cardboard fix!

Think ill have to resort to that :-).

I just googled this very issue and this page popped up So I went over and introduced myself first.
I got my first turbo trainer today, same make as the OP's anyway and have the same issue.
Looks like I've found the solution in not changing the QR scewer on the wheel.... hopefully!

My Elite leans a bit as well. May have to try the "not tightening the skewer when the bike's touching the roller" fix.

Thanks for the replies and sorry for taking so long to get

back, Internet issues :-(.

Here are some pictures you requested. The lean is very slight, doubt you can see on pictures.

Not sure if pictures help but any input appreciated

Looking at that the wheel is just about where mine is on my Elite turbo.

did any of you guys ever find a solution to this problem, i have just bought an elite elastogel Turbo Trainer and on putting it together my bike leans slightly to the left also. Spent ages taking it off and resetting it but can't seem to fix the problem. My wheel is even more over to the right of the resistance wheel when i start and as i pedal it moves further over. Feels like it will damage the bike if i carry on. Any help appreciated.

P.S. i am aware that some people don't like Turbo Trainers and that they are awful / soulless / not as good as riding outdoors etc but i don't really care so please don't feel the need to share....;-)

I have one of these and it was fine on one of the bikes i have but on the new one it leans left as well. no apparent reason and I checked it and its not the bike at all. Definitly leans left and even when sitting on it the body does lean left which annoys me. The worst is that it didnt happen with the other bike
