Hi guys, im looking for a turbo trainer for my MTB while my breathing is bad >20% down over last year i need to to cardio and i do cycling best and because of the cold air it messes with my asthma . so to my point.
does a turbo trainer exist that works with bolt through rear axle ( maxle)
 
Chain Reaction had them on offer.. may still do.

I think you may need to get a cheap road bike though... Don't know if they are compatible with maxles... I may be wrong though.
 
If you can get an actual bolt-through axle for it (rather than the quick-release type) that would work. I'm not sure how good the connection would be with the normal maxle with the QR lever on the end. I'v used normal QR skewers on my turbo before and it's usually fine but it did bend one lever once.

You'll also need a turbo tyre. It'll chew through normal tyres and also vibrate a lot with the knobbly bits.
