Subject: About using a spare wheel for the bike trainer Hi all, I am new here but I found this to great community and I hope to learn a lot, and share what I learned with other members afterwards.
I have a kurt kinetic rm, and with my old bike I had a training rear wheel with a conti hometrainer and the same tiagra 10 spd 12-30 cassette I had on my road wheel, so whenever I wanted to ride indoor I would just change wheels. But wheels not being the same caused gears to jump, so I just kept using few gears on which the rear derailleur were aligned to the sprocket.
I assume using it like that would wear particular sprockets faster, and chain will wear out faster than both cassettes, but is there any other specific issue? How to work around this compatibility situation? My guess is that I should fine tune the barrel adjuster and maybe even the limiter, but quite demanding doing that every time.
Now I bought a nicer bike with a SRAM PC-1170, 11 spd 11-28. Can I still use the same 10 spd rear wheel from before? If so, how? Also adjusting the barrel and limiter every time I switch wheels?
Thanks a lot guys. I believe a bike trainer is a very powerful tool, and I am still wondering how to use it without wearing out my good wheel, cassette and tire
