Wheel Not Fitting Turbo
Hello,
I've been having some issues fitting my bike to my turbo trainer as of late. I bought it back in the winter and a cheap bike to go with it, and have since been able to pick up my own bike due to the lockdown lifting.
The cheap, smaller, bike mounted the turbo fine and was easy to use, but the current bike is a struggle. It mounts the turbo fine, I've bought the specific quick release too, so no issues there, but the wheel seems to either rub against or get stuck against the turbo bit, and won't move, even with the firmest of pushes.
It's a Volare Elite Mag turbo trainer, and my bike has 700c wheels, if that helps. I've fully inflated the tyre, even swapped the tread direction as it was facing the wrong way, and no luck!
There's not a lot of advice out there on the internet, so I'm hoping one of you will be able to help
Cheers

Welcome to the forum. I moved your thread here from General cycling.
I'm not sure I understand the problem. Is the resistance wheel pressing too firmly into the tire? That's adjustable.
You can upload pictures to an album in your gallery if you think that will help, and then we can rescue them for you.
