Issue fitting my bike - between <28" and > 28"

[punky]

Hi all,

I have a Elite Tuo and my bike is a hybrid with a 700c with 35c trainer tyre.

Following DC Rainmaker's instructions I tried the <28" installations but as far back as the trainer would go, it was too tight for the wheel (i.e. the roller should be lightly skimming the wheel before clamping).

I then tried the > 28" installation. At first I managed to get my bike in OK, but after like 30 mins when I tried calibrating it, I couldn't get the roller close enough.

Which installation method should I be using and does anyone have any tips for getting my bike in properly?

Thanks.

I am having exactly the same tires and same issue. I initially installed >28" because it was default instruction and I had no idea about size of my tires

It worked pretty well, on hard sessions, standing position etc. Although I couldn't get calibration working

Today I changed position to <28 and calibration finished fine, although I haven't tried to do my workout yet.

Thanks!

How did you manage to get the roller back far enough? I can't seem to get it back far enough to get the trainer clamped to the frame?
