Turbo Trainer which one

[Mr Molby]

Folks,

I hope someone can help me here, i've got a Trek 1.1 road bike, my wife has just bought me a turbo trainer from Wiggle


It's an Elite Volare Mag Alu Trainer My link


I'm having issues with fitting the bike to the two support cups - the quick release lever on my bike won't fit? Is there no other alternative than using the quick release skewer that comes with the trainer?

(I don't like the thought of having to change the skewer when i want to take the bike out to the road)

Can someone help me please??

Thanks

Why not just leave the turbo trainer skewer on then?

My choice is to change the skewer though - takes all of 20 seconds so I don't see it as an issue.

Amaferanga - thanks for that...

Since i posted - i realised i can just use the turbo skewer..I didn't know this previously.. I'm still a bit of a cycling greenhorn

I panicked, and thought that my missus had just wasted £100 on a turbo trainer that wouldn't suit me...

Cheers for the reply
