Combined with an <a title=\"Used CycleOps Fluid2 Trainer\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2011\/12\/02\/used-cycleops-fluid2-trainer\/\">CycleOps Fluid 2 Trainer<\/a> that I picked up a couple of years ago, a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cycleops.com\/en\/products\/accessories\/trainer-accessories\/trainer-tire.html\">CycleOps-branded Trainer Tire<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kendatire.com\/\">Kenda<\/a>\u00a0manufactured), and a barely used cassette from eBay\u2020, and a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.conti-online.com\/www\/bicycle_de_en\">Continental<\/a>\u00a0tube (recommended by Ron at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fraserbicycle.com\">Fraser Bicycle and Fitness<\/a>\u00a0for trainer use due to high heat tolerance) this should allow me to\u00a0swap the bike on and off trainer quickly. Unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2012\/02\/08\/nice-trainer-setup\/\">my previous setup<\/a> I won&#8217;t have to swap tires, which should make this bike more useful overall.<\/p>\n<p>When on longer rides I&#8217;d been not-quite-happy with the <a title=\"Trying a Specialized Phenom Saddle\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2010\/05\/14\/trying-a-specialized-phenom-saddle\/\">Specialized Phenom saddle<\/a>\u00a0that I love for mountain biking, so I also picked up a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.specialized.com\/us\/en\/ftb\/saddles\/roadtriathlon-saddles\/avatar-comp-gel\">Specialized Avatar Comp Gel<\/a> to try out. After a bit of fiddling it seems like it&#8217;ll be okay, but I think an extended session on the trainer and a proper ride outside will be needed before I decide if it&#8217;ll work or not. With the time change this weekend I can only hope that there&#8217;s a good time for another long dirt road ride soon&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not really looking forward to trainer season, but sometimes I need a bit of exercise, don&#8217;t want to venture outside, and thus find the trainer worthwhile. When used in conjunction with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trainerroad.com\/\">TrainerRoad<\/a>\u00a0and something decent on the TV it&#8217;s really not too bad, and I feel good when I&#8217;m done.<\/p>\n<p>\u2020 The trainer wheel has the original Shimano CS-5600 cassette that came with the Jamis Nova on it; the normal wheel will get the nearly-new one from eBay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to a friendly person from the MMBA Forum\u00a0I was able to pick up a low cost Dimension (QBP #WE8677) rear wheel for use with&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2013\/10\/29\/2013-2014-trainer-season-setup\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">2013-2014 Trainer Season Setup<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-acquired-things","category-cycling","entry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17561","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17561"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17561\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17954,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17561\/revisions\/17954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17561"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
