Tandem on Smart Trainer
I have been looking at purchasing a smart trainer that can be controlled by apps like Zwift. I have been unable to find one that accepts quick release rear hubs wider than 135mm. I see the Kickr has a weight limit and read the thread on it.
Has anyone used a smart trainer with their tandem?
Has anyone adapted a smart trainer to a 145mm rear drop out?

Weight limited stated at 250 lbs. Not sure if that includes the bike. If so I know a few single riders that exceed it.

We have used the computrainer on our tandem for several years. NO PROBLEM! I use the computrainer and ErgVideos and we get a really good workout. Our team weight is under 300 pounds.
Send me your email address and I will send you a picture of our setup.
We use a modified BOBS quick release for the rear wheel.
