Trainer Question

[NewRoadie]

Looking at trainers online(mag and wind), it appears that a pin runs
through the rear wheel? Or does the bike just clip in?

Basically, I'm wondering how big of a pain in the arse it is to put
the bike in and out of the trainer? If it's raining one day but not
the next is it worth putting it on and off the trainer?

Thanks,
NewRoadie

It only takes a minute.

Most ``Trainers'' have attachment mechanisms that don't involve pins that run
through the rear hub.

Go to a bike shop, inspect one, and you will see how easy it is.

Most have a system that captures the skewer of your real wheel. You simply
line it up and crank it together. I switch mine on/off frequently. It
takes about 30 seconds.

Great Thanks! I'll have to shop around a bit and find one that's right
for me.
