[DVBC] new cyclist needs advice building CycleOps trainer

[eric zwicky]

hey dan,

welcome to the club!

it looks like the roller that the rear wheel spins against can flop down 
farther.   see if it doesn't lock with a wing nut or something, then 
loosen that nut or whatever, and let the spinner flop rear-ward and down 
until it's in the right position for the wheel to rub against it.

in fact, you should be able to (should *have to*) adjust the spinner to 
account for different wheel and tire diameters.

let me know if this helps.
