    Trainer for 20" wheel

    You can use a 20" wheel on the 1up USA trainer.

    They will also be able to tell you if putting a Bike Friday on the trainer will result in frame damage or flexing. Personally, I'd pick up a cheap, used bike with 700c wheels to be on the trainer, and not risk my beloved Bike Friday.

    I'm pretty sure Kurt Kinetic sells a 20" adapter for their trainers. I remember a few years ago, Bike Friday had an article on a guy who rode every day (rain or shine) when he traveled, but he took a trainer with him for some rides. Not sure if I can find it, but based on that, I think it would work. Of course, double check to be sure (and get an old tire or a trainer tire!).

    Well I sent a message to BikeFriday and thought I'd post their response here in case anyone else looks for a trainer for a BikeFriday.

    Here is the message I sent:

    I purchased a Petite Crusoe earlier in the year, and I am considering
    getting a trainer, or rollers and a fork stand. Would putting the bike
    on a trainer or on rollers and a fork stand cause any problems?

    I was considering something like this.

    Thanks, Sylvia

    Here's their response:

    Hi Sylvia.

    We've used our bikes with trainers such as the CycleOps with it's small
    wheel adapter. The trainers on the page you referred should work too,
    but we haven't tried them yet so there may be some technical issues that
    need a work around or two.
