That said, still struggling to find a cheaper one of them! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19385#post-299038 Thu, 10 Jan 2019 21:34:56 +0000 mcairney 299038@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ah OK that makes sense- I interpreted it at first read as having to change the cassette on the turbo trainer.</p> <p>Might still be cheaper to get a 9/10 speed "trainer" bike and put it's cassette on the trainer than trying to source an 11-speed bike, particularly as it's going to be a more or less permanent fixture. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19385#post-299025 Thu, 10 Jan 2019 17:53:28 +0000 le_soigneur 299025@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There is a Storck 11sp roadie on FB marketplace just now. Not cheap, campag Chorus set.<br /> Alpine do 2018 Whyte 1x11 hybrid for &lt;£400 but I doubt you want to use that on trainer. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19385#post-299023 Thu, 10 Jan 2019 17:38:17 +0000 CycleCommute.CC 299023@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think Kenny wants to have a dedicated bike to avoid swapping his main one in all the time. You could get a cheap 10 speed bike and use the cassette off that with the kicker could you not? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19385#post-299022 Thu, 10 Jan 2019 17:10:43 +0000 mcairney 299022@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>From a quick Google they suggest changing the cassette and make it sound pretty straightforward. Wouldn't getting a 2nd 10-speed cassette and fitting it permanently to the Kickr be the path of least resistance here or am I missing something obvious? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19385#post-298985 Thu, 10 Jan 2019 11:59:56 +0000 I were right about that saddle 298985@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The Bike Station probably won't have eleven speed road bikes in yet - too new to be donated. But you could phone and enquire. The warehouse is full to bursting. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19385#post-298978 Thu, 10 Jan 2019 11:30:30 +0000 Kenny 298978@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So I have purchased a Wahoo Kickr, only to find that it has an 11 speed cassette on it, and my bike is 10 speed. From my understanding, it wouldn't be a great idea to just put up with it, as it'll just wear out the drivetrain. I therefore have two options; change the cassette to 10 speed, or get a 2nd hand 11 speed road bike. I would prefer the latter option since it means I can just leave the bike all set up rather than having to constantly swap it, but means more expense. Since it's just going to be a trainer bike, I don't need anything decent at all, but it does need to have 11 gears, so... where would I be best to get such an item? Gumtree isn't coming up with any decent options. Bicycle Works? Anywhere else? </p>
