how many turns on rear tire?
I have a Travel Trac camp fluid trainer. Was curious how many cranks you put on the back tire once the roller touches back tire. I was putting 2.5 -3 turns. It seems very tight to spin it. Was curious how others were tightening there back tires up. I rode on a Kinetic rock n roll we put 3-4 turns on the tire. But that trainer can not even compare to what I have.

tighten till it won't squeek (or not much) when you give the wheel a quick jerk with your hand.

I have the Travel Trac Comp Fluid & I find two complete turns after contacting the tire does the trick.
