Turbo trainer spare wheel

[MARKE020272]

Hi, I'm looking for a cheap spare 700c rear wheel that will fit a shimano 10 speed to use on my turbo trainer so I don't need to keep changing the tyre. Any ideas?. Looking for less than £30 if possible.

What tyre have you got on your current wheel?

It's a continental GP 4 seasons tyre. Got a Schwalbe turbo trainer tyre. It's a bit annoying having to change it each time I want to use the trainer.

Just use the 4 season. It's a hard old bit of rubber, it'll be fine.

Agreed, It might flatten off a bit on the trainer. Otherwise you could buy a something like this for winter road use as well:-

Which trainer are you using? I chose a Elastogel roller one as I've read they wear the tyre less, so don't bother changing tyres on either my or SWMBO's bikes.

I've a cycleops magneto trainer. I'd prefer not to use the same tyre that I want to ride with over the winter. I've got a tyre and spare cassette, just looking for a cheap rear to put it on.

Looks like an ebay hunt then, if it's only for TT use then you must be able to find an unbranded, near straight wheel for that kind of money..
