Dumb turbo question...

Postby CCS » 09 Feb 2013 23:44

....again....

so, swapping over bikes on the turbo today, I noticed that there is quite a groove developing in the roller bit of the resistance unit. Is this normal? Have always used a turbo tyre / made sure it is clean. Might this be a consequence of over-tightening (which I probably do)? Might it just be all that power I am putting out :lol:
Should I worry?

Not a problem, friction causes wear, a harder tyre causes more wear, as it wears you just need to adjust it a bit more. And yes it is all that power, now stop it and get out doors :D
