Yep my Conti Gator Skin was waring out after about 3 sessions, i quit training untill my Conti Turbo Specific Tyre came through, and it cost me 2 weeks training.
You might want to get a second wheel aswell, because its a pain in the ar$e chaning tyres if you wanna hit the road.. Im just trying to talk myself out of buying (credit card) a Carbone SL Powertap.. Then ill have 2 wheels and a power meter.

A wise choice - you can use it on the turbo in the winter (protecting it from salt-based death) and the road in the summer.
New to the forum so apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong place.
I've just set up my new turbo (voltare elite from Decathlon) but can't get the back wheel to meet the roller when its in the 'locked' position. I've got the loading arm set to its highest position and there's no room for movement in the frame but I still have around an inch of space between wheel and roller.
Obviously I could just release the spring to get them to meet but this doesn't strike me as a sensible idea at all.
Any ideas? I was hoping to use this for my first decent session first thing in the morning.

I've got Schwalbe Stelvio's on my bike and they've been used between the road and turbo for the last 8 months. I've done about 2000 miles on the road and god knows how many on the turbo and rollers over the last month and they look good for a while yet..
