Well, interestingly enough...I got the trainer as the REI guys promised it would work on the road bike. Since my road bike is in getting it's tune up...impatient me set up my mountain bike with the slick tires on her (my pre-road road bike). And, set up my clipless original pedals. And, it seems to work like a charm. Makes sense to me to use the 3 year old cheaper mountain bike rather than my shiny new, way more expensive road bike on the trainer.


Has anyone gone with this set up on your trainers? (your less used, less expensive bike as opposed to the bike you ride on the road) Ahd, will it cost me much conditioning when I spend the winter training on a mountain bike set up rather than a road bike?
