    Two questions; Does the roller cause premature tyre wear? Should I get a cheap training tyre? Also could one use a regular mag type or fan resistance trainer on a trike?

    • @hostelshoppe
      @hostelshoppe 8 місяців тому

      Hi Mark, Yes, the roller or any trainer can cause more wear on the tire, so it is good to have a dedicated "trainer tire" with a smooth tread. Keep your regular tire for regular riding. If you have a 26" or 700c rear wheel with a quick release skewer, you can use regular trainers from Saris or Wahoo. If you have a thru-axle, you will need an adapter. 20" wheels would work best on the rollers. We have select trainers on sale at hostelshoppe.com/collections/stationary-trainers-rollers?page=1&grid_list=grid-view . Today is the last day of the sale.

    Good video. Simple and well explained. Plus I think you’ve answered my questions about fishtailing or pedal sway. I definitely need to work on my back stroke. Am I correct in thinking the 110 trainer would be the better one to get? I’m a fairly strong rider, but have a definite muscle imbalance. My quads are much stronger than my hamstrings. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

      ⁠@@hostelshoppeI’m new to riding trikes, age and old juries coming back to haunt me has made riding a Diamond framed bike impossible for me. I thought I was done biking for good. Then I tired a recumbent trike. I recently acquired a Catrike Dumont, major game changer, the fun is back with cycling. But my days for riding outdoors are numbered, winter is coming. So I’m looking for a trainer. I’m currently riding 20 miles comfortably, average about 16mph. I can push the trike up to 24.8mph but only for something close to a mile. And that was with a tailwind. I’ve do get a lot of pedal sway, from watching your video, it’s because I’m pushing, which is somewhat surprising to me because I’ve always been a spinner on a regular bike. Or at least I use to be. Anyway, with this knowledge, should get the 100 or the 110 trainer. I’m leaning toward the 110 with the idea of improving muscle tone and balance during the winter months. Or would I be better off with the lighter resistance of the 100? And thank you in advance.

      @@hostelshoppe Wow.. that little liner adds about $50 to a pair of panniers that are already $235... And the link you sent is not the same as your website. the Banana on your website doesn't say weather it is a S? M? or L? size.. So what liner size..? It would be so much easier to order to Ortlieb PackRack small and uses ties to mount them on the back of the seat.. And I would know that my stuff would stay dry... Radical Design looks great, but when it comes to brass tacks.. they are not water proof, they are not as durable as the Ortlieb.. and the reputation is not that of Ortlieb.. Sorry, i'm not sold on the idea of having to carry a liner (that i could possibly loose and risk getting my tour gear completely wet. I'm disappointed in Radical Design.. They could have simply made them out of a waterproof Cordura fabric.. The cost is about the same.. Wow they dropped the ball..

      @@rdkuless Hi Rob, The link was to Radical Designs site, as I don't have the product in stock yet. They make four sizes of liners: Racer, Small, Medium and Large to match the four sizes of their pannier bags. Synthetic CORDURA-which does not retain water as does natural cotton-can be chemically treated to endow it with water-repellency and other beneficial properties. I also did a bit more research and it does have a PU coating which gives it water repellency, and we have found the bags to be very durable. What kind of trike are you using? I can recommend some other bags that might work. Are you using a rear rack? We stock Ortlieb as well.

      @@hostelshoppe I'm trying to complete my touring setup..I don't want to worry about carrying extra liners to make cycling panniers that should already be waterproof.. LOL I already have a custom Surly Nitto rack equipped with a Racktime Snapit adapter on top for my Waterproof Racktime trunk bag.. I use Arkel 30's or 45 Orcas... on my AZUB T-Tris. Maybe i should just forget about the convenience of the pod style bags, and go 100% waterproof. The worst thing on a long transcontinental tour is to get to camp with all wet gear. Do you carry the Double Azub racks.. And how much are they. That way i have room for both the 30 and 45's Orcas on my rack?

      @@rdkuless The T-Tris only will work with Azub's Rack-Time rack and their lowrider rack azub.eu/recumbent-bikes-and-trikes/trikes/26-wheels/t-tris/accessories/ . The double rack and king rack are not options for the T-Tris. I can special order the lowrider rack for you. Will that work with your Orca bags?
