Noisy trainer...

ok got it set up its tacx magnetic...very quiet at the store during the demo - could it be my mountain bike tyres :D

I had my Trek hybrid on my trainer and it had semi-nubby tires. It made a lot of noise. Do you have any tire shred?

I treated myself to a Cyclops Magneto trainer when Nashbar had it on sale earlier this fall and have my Terry Fast Woman on it. Racing slick tires. Makes very little noise, no tire shred. I love the trainer---before I was using a Performance model (fluid). I think I killed that trainer from overuse. It ended up leaking fluid.
