I have a 20 inch tire on a folding bike, what kind of trainer will I need?

I recently bought a base plus an adapter for my 20 inch folding bike and it works wonderfully. I had a double knee replacement and soon as I could I was up on the bike. It rides quite high with the adaptor but iris as steady as can be. I'm away right now, but if this is helpful I write again on wed when I get back to my apartment and I can see the specs. I think it's a cycle ops but I'm not sure. Costs around three hundred dollars all together Carl

I have the cycle ops trainer the the adaptor for twenty inch wheels and it works. Used it all springAnd summer post double knee replacement. The only problem is that it makes the seat quite high. But I quickly found a way to overcome that. If recommend it. It's a good set up.

Its not unusual for a bike with a quick release tire to not fit in the trainers. Mine didn't either, but my sons bike did. It's an easy fix though. The skewer ( the nut and rod that hold the tire onto the bike), needs to be replaced for one that fits both your bike and the trainer. When I first heard I had to do that, I was really disappointed, thinking it was going to be a harder job then I could handle. But if you youtube "how to change a rear skewer", you'll find it its a really simple job. I ordered a new skewer from Amazon. The one I ordered is called CycleOps Trainer Skewer. Although I have read that others were able to go to a bike store to buy one. It took me about a minute to switch the skewers.

It works amazing on a trainer. It's quiet. I'll check to see what tire I got for it. I don't remember exactly but I bought it at the same time.

All of the devices like this that I have used require you to enter the diameter of your wheel. They allow for 4 digits. A 700 cm tire, for example, will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 2100. Your diameter number should not be high enough to exceed 4 digits. If you want peace of mind, you could call any bike shop just to confirm.

Probably not, since most folding bikes have wheel diameters at around 16". A good rule would be to see if your rear wheel is at least 26" in diameter.

Hey Robert, the trainer should be adjustable to all size wheels. The company claims even 29inch wheels. I've tried road bike 700 c and 26 inch mountain bike. The adjustment bolt at the roller should take care of this. Hopefully it will work for you because it is a great deal and trainer.

I believe the tire size 700c. Gonna have to head to a bike shop. Don't think the average walmart will carry it.

It is the size of the bike. The trainer specifies the size of tires like 26 inch. If your older 10 speed is the right size it should be fine.

you need tires that are 26x2.i25 if you have a 26 inch bike.most tubes today will say on box.26x 1.75 to 2.125put a little air in tube,then put tube in tire to,install easy..if its late 50s could be 26x 1.75 make sure of 26-25 size wheel.make sure of your size.put wheel next to other size wheel on a other bike.keep riding!!

You can go to your local bike shop and ask for a trainer skewer or find one on here. They aren't anything proprietary for this or most trainers. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0063R2XO0/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_rtsoub1ZEDSN2

The tire I got was 20 x 1.75. (That is 20" diameter & 1.75 inches wide)It was an exact replacement for the one I needed. Most 20" bikes will use tires from 1.75" to 2.50" width. Hand brakes may need adjusting for width of tire.

When I ordered the T-2300 Kinetic rock and roll trainer,the T-740 Skewer was included with the unit.I would recommend using the skewer when you use the bike trainer because it fits very well in the 2 cone cups that secure the rear wheel.

The wheel is 700 x 25. You want tubes that are 700 x 25. Usually tubes will come in ranges. Most common range is 700x18-23 and 700x20-25. Both will actually fit the tire as tubes expand easily. If you do decide to use 700x18-23, go 10 less than the maximum PSI on the tires. If you go 700x20-25, you're can just fill it up to the maximum PSI.This bike does not require the valee to be a schrader valve. Presta works as well. I have prestas on mine as they are easier to work with when you need to deflate for quick changes.

should work fine. has a lot of adjustment and although light, should be good for 20 lbs or better.

It depends. I know the trainer will accommodate specific tire sizes.Make sure that your old bike meets the specs for the trainer. If your tire size is compatible, and you can shift gears (you will probably keep it in one gear most of the time) it should work. Again, make sure your tire size is compatible.Hope this help!
