Levels any bike on a turbo, at a price that makes DIY moot

Turbo trainers hold the back wheel 2cm or more off the ground, tilting the bike and putting pressure on your hands and wrists.

This plastic block – grooved to ﬁt narrow 700C or fat 26in tyres – levels the bike and makes bar, stem and saddle adjustments unnecessary, as well as steadying the front wheel.

Product "35204" does not exist or you do not have permission to access it.
