Hey everyone, I have a bike trainer, and I changed out my tire on my bike for a trainer tire, but when I ride on the trainer, it seems to have very little traction and ends up slipping off when I ride hard. does anyone have any fixes?
thanks,
happy training

your tire is spinning past the drum no matter the tension?

whenever I pedal hard it starts missing. on the lower tension it usually doesn't skip

I dont know what kind of trainer you have but I have the cycleops fluid...If I were to have this problem, I would just tighten the roller the back tire is on so that there is more pressure on the back tire

I think this fix should work.
