Suggestions? I cant be bothered to be refitting tyres all the time, and considering I'm going to be doing lots on both so... suggestions?

Alternatively I have an old wheel from the bike that died a year ago, but it was starting to develop tiny splits around some of the nipples. Is this an issue if it's only used on the turbo? Limited weight put through it, limited stress, rather than south London roads?
What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?

    Any old sh1te will do - doesn't have to bear weight, brakes can be relaxed so no issue with buckles. It needs to be more or less round but that's about it.

    This is even more true given that you'll probably never even use the thing because its so boring and unpleasant and 9 times out of 10 an extended commute / training ride seems a better option!
