Hi all, I have a giant yukon '04 model, but with the weather
becoming a bit colder I was wondering if there was a bike
mount/indoor thing that you could attach to the back wheel
of this particular mountain bike (like you can for racing
bikes) to turn it into a type of exercise bike for indoor
use? Hope someone out there knows that I'm talking
about...thanks in advance,
Geoff.

yep you can use a trainer with an MTB, but you will probably
find that you need to swap to a slick/semi tire for this
purpose, high treads don't work so good as you'd imagine.
Some people get a spare wheel with a slick tire and keep it
indoors for use with the trainer for this reason.
