Hi
I'm hoping to buy the kinetic fluid trainer. at the same time get a rear wheel set up that could have the trainer tyre on so that my bike wouldn't be redundant.I can't see myself changing the tyres over that regularly. the current set up is a 10 speed tiagra.
So any advice as to what would be the cheapest way of doing this is appreciated.
thanks

    http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/Cycle/7/Shima ... 360035948/ is the cheapest I've found as I couldn't find any R500s. If you can find an R500 rear wheel, they're incredibly cheap. Add another Tiagra 10 cassette and you have your wheel.

    My advice would be to keep your eye out on Ebay. I got my Spesh Turbo specific tyres for £10 for 2 new ones, and found a brand new, obscure brand, wheel for £16.50! I wouldn't put it on the bike to ride - but it is perfectly good enough for the Turbo.

    You just have to be patient and keep watching and searching.
