Indoor training on a non-Cruzbike 'bent

[rdl03]

I have an S40. While I haven't done enough riding to feel entirely "at home", I've done enough to think that the training I'm doing indoors on an upright doesn't quite translate to strength and endurance on the S40.
I bought a used Burley, which I'm mounting on my Wahoo Kickr. I see that I won't be able to get quite the same position (crank is about 2" lower relative to seat bottom than the S40).
Is that going to make much of a difference in terms of developing "recumbent legs"?

thanks

You will be able to develop your "bent legs" on this.
I have trained on a RWD bent some winters and turned around and rode my V20 - however the seat and BB were pretty much the same.

I am unsure if it will "feel" any different when you get on your S40.
We'll look forward to hearing back from you how it went.

Could you raise the front wheel to match the position if the S40?

I looked at that option. I don't think there's enough adjustment in the seat position and angle for that to work.
I have everything but the handlebar position in place. Will try that for a while, and see how it feels.

thanks!
