ffs of all the things! Not what I expected I must admit. It was probably in the Wahoo Rollr user guide but who reads that. And no, I didn't run over a piece of Lego or something. Turns out I should have cranked up the air pressure and quite likely looked at it once in a while. The tyre has ended up rectangular shaped and worn right through before collapsing.
Shall I simply replace with another outdoor tyre and pressure it correctly or, as I have just discovered, get a home trainer tyre?
I did 450km on the tyres indoors after 6,000km on them outdoors. I estimate I'll add 1,000km indoors before going outside regularly again. I don't know the life expectancy of a road tyre. The front tyre has very little wear, so it's definity from the Rollr.
A home trainer tyre would seem the best (like this Continental?), but it removes the option of spontaneously going outside for a ride, which is why I picked up the Rollr in the first place. Like in today's sunshine. I'm not a mechanical person so don't mind thrashing through another tyre and then buying another in 2 months if it reduces the hassle.
For home trainer tyres I know what she said, but does width matter? Currently I have a 700x28c road tyre. A ballpark figure on price or brand you've tried would be useful
If I use an outdoor tyre, what pressure do you suggest? Typically 95psi feels good for outside and I do 30-120km most days in the summer. I'm 105kg. I'm seeing 110psi suggested in google searches.
Thank you
