Tire tips
Whether for road or mountain bike use, we strongly recommend the use of a specific home trainer tire.
The advantages of this tire are longer life thanks to its reinforced structure and harder rubber, and reduced rolling noise.
Stability tips
When you ride a home trainer, the rear wheel of your bike is well stabilized and slightly raised.
It is therefore recommended to use a front wheel support.
It will have the advantage of:
1 - stabilizing the front wheel.
2 - raising the front of the bike, giving you a perfectly flat bike position.
Protection tips
When riding indoors, you often perspire and this perspiration falls onto the bike or the ground.
We therefore recommend the following equipment:
1- The anti-perspiration net to prevent perspiration (acid) from falling onto your bike and damaging it (ref. 8056757)
2- The home trainer mat, which not only protects against the effects of perspiration but also provides stability and anti-noise protection (ref. 8369937).
