Turbo trainer tyre

hyperseven · 17 Oct 2016 at 12:09

My current MTB tyres are Kendra Kinetics 26x2.35 on Mach 1 MX rims.

Would I need to get a new rim use Turbo trainer tyres as they are listed as 26x1.25? Or would a semi-slick (Schwalbe Fat Frank) 26x2.35 do?

Forgive my ignorance

Looking to do some physio on my knee.

Have a magnetic trainer but is load as **** with the current tyre.

That should do you. Should work on your rim, no bother! They're never as wide as your daily tyres.

I take it I would also have to get a matching inner tube to accompany it :confused:

I have one of these you can have, bought it when I used my Hybrid on the trainer and no longer need it. Trust me!

Edit: might even have some tubes, would have to check later.
