[DVBC] new cyclist needs advice building CycleOps trainer

[Debbie Chaga]

Dan,

First of all, welcome to the club!  By the way, Ira's got a great C ride
listed for tomorrow that you might want to try.  His ride is one of the
first I ever went out on.

Secondly, I agree with what Eric told you.  You've got to get the back wheel
further back on that roller in the back of the trainer.  It should move back
and if it doesn't maybe you tighten the screws too tight.  Once that's in
place you should be able to get the skewers in place on the trainer.  I've
got a Cycle Ops that works the same way.  However, I've got to tell you that
riding on a trainer sucks!  It's so boring.  I only do it when I have to.
Tomorrow's weather is going to get up to 52 so you should come out and ride
with us.

Good luck and hope to meet you soon.

Dreamer/Debbie
