Kicker Snap...

[cyclisue]

Hi fellow Cruzbikers..trying to get set up on a borrowed Kickr Snap...really dumb question...do I put the trainer in front of or behind the front drive wheel??? Seems that I am not as "smart" as the trainer! SUE B

Behind, with the legs forward.
BTW, I love the paint job of your Sylvetta!

Thanks Mathew...I've tried both ways and the setup you describe seemed intuitive, but I'm having a hard time turning the pedals...even at a low wattage like 100...

Wheel-on and Classic trainers should mount behind the drive wheel.

Thanks ak-tux, but still struggling with it...how long is your skewer?

You may have to find a tandem bike skewer to use on the trainer.

The skewer that came with the Cruzbike is long enough. However to preserve it I use a spare skewer I had in my parts bin with a steel nut. It was from an old MTB rear wheel. I will measure it for you in the evening.

Ya, I had been using my regular skewer, but it is chewing the heck out of it...I'll check into the tandem option...
