I am a beginner cyclist, been riding steady for about 4 - 5 months for almost 2000 miles. The winter and short days were making me crazy so I got a Blackburn Mag Trainer this week and was hoping for some feedback from you vets on using the trainer:
1. Is the Blackburn Trackstand Mag 3 Trainer a good trainer for a beginner?
2. How tight should the bike be in the trainer? Seems like when I'm riding there is a little shake in the bike, is that normal? I feel like I'm going to damage my bike when I tighten too much? Am i taking a chance on damaging my bike by using it in a trainer?
3. How tight should my back wheel be against the roller?
ANY TRAINER INFO/INPUT you can give me will be very appreciated!
