turbo trainer wheel, specific requirements

jds_1981

Hi,

I want to get a turbo trainer wheel for the CX bike I'm putting together around one of these frames
http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/FRP ... s_frameset
I think I can put a 700c wheel in there, but for it to be compatible with my set-up it needs to be 135mm spacing & accept 10 speed cassettes.
I'd also like it to be cheap as it will be just for the turbo. I'm having difficulty tracking a suitable wheel down as it isn't possible to filter by all these options on websites. Any suggestions would be much appreciated...

Thanks.

Bad question or hard requirements?

Generally a rear hub spacing of 135mm only gets you 7/8/9 speed MTB hub.

Of course this is wider than the 130mm that is generally considered a normal 8/9/10 speed road hub, so you could in theory add some spacers (typically between the cones and locknuts) to a road hub, depending on the hub design.

These might work:

I have them as occasional use wheels on my CX bike and they seem OK, should be fine for a turbo.

Those look perfect. Thanks!
