Can a trainer be used on a Quest?

[K Snyder]

Can a trainer be used on a Quest? It seems to me the 3 speed hub means you can't set it up with the trainer. The Cone Cup looks like it will not work, and can you remove the Skewer?

To use the trainer...

You'll need to remove the clickbox and the hub pull rod. This means you can use only one of the IGH gears (I forget what the default gear is, I think it's the lowest ratio). Otherwise it will mount like most bikes.

There is no skewer because the Dualdrive hub uses a nutted through-axle.

You can ride a Quest on

You can ride a Quest on rollers - but it takes a lot of attempts before you can manage any kind of duration - at least that was my experience.
