Same range of gears in the back, different cranks. Gunnar has a full SRAM mountain bike drivetrain while tba LHT has a road crank. I did check the slippage on my trainer a short time ago and it seemed fine...

Huh. I'd have thought it would be the opposite.

Tires are quite different, my Gunnar has 1.75 tires while my LHT has the 1.25 inch stock tires that comes with it. The tires was one of the reasons I switched bikes on the trainer - I can't get "trainer tires" just yet and while both sets of tires are premium, they are less expensive on my LHT. It also leaves my Gunnar ready to ride outside at a moment's notice when the weather allows Originally Posted by Owlie
I also love the tires on my Gunnar and am not about to destroy them on the trainer...
The LHT does come with a "mixed" drive-train, which to my mind makes it a true "hybrid". I may call my LBS today and see if they have any thoughts. They use the same trainer in a large class they offer twice each winter, so they should be familiar with any oddities regarding the setup. I can't see how it should matter which bike I use on it - but it is a world of difference between the two bikes
