OK I know I'm not the only once, since there was a thread about this in the main forum recently, but it was people saying it happens, and no one helped, so I'm turning to you gals :)
When I ride on my trainer (the few times I have) I can't get the tension right! It either feels like it is skipping/too easy, or it smells like burnt rubber and there is sometimes a black streak left on the trainer wheel from my tire :( This really bothers me since tires are expensive and I don't want to ruin them all so fast.
I ride with a PowerTap, and on a Cyclops Fluid 2 trainer. So the option of having a trainer wheel (like those orange ones) is tough since I do half my rides outside and am not a big fan of changing out the tire each time I ride. I just have some on the trainer for certain power goals, so I do need power while there.
Any one have any tips for me? Thanks!!
