Does it come with a QR skewer? I have a diamonback podium 2 road bike.. any one with a similar bike?

No, It locks around the existing bike parts with a mechanism similar to a vice.
487813
It does not, but it includes plastic end caps for non-skewer setup (nut type ends).
487814
No, it doesnt, and mine didnt come with the plastic end caps either. I have absolutely no good way to mount my bike to this trainer

Sorry but I don't know what a QR skewer is. If you don't see it in the photo then probably not.

I am using it on a single speed / fixed gear bike with a bolt-on track style rear wheel. The nuts and bolts of the rear axle fit into the cups on the trainer and it seems to work very well. I am not using a skewer.

I tried it with the quick release skewers and didn't like the instability. My bike kept wanting to pop out, so I switched to "Forte lockdown skewers" for the rear hub and it works great. Hope this helps you out.

Yes, the way it works is you remove the rear skewer from your bike and use the skewer included and that fits into the mounting clamps.

Thank you for your inquiry! We regret, we do not sell any accessories with the bike. Sincerest regards Tobias Rosenkranz Dakota Cycle

it does come with road tires [700cc skinny tires]. broad tires may not fit flat handle bars: if you have the funds and time I'm 100% sure the handle car can be changed like any other bike. my advice, do not look at the price, get something you like from the start

It has one that fits most normal cycles - thin tire. For mountain bikes you don't need the skewer

I use mine on a road bike. Many times Mtb skewers can be used on road bikes by simply cutting them down. Done it many times.

I bought this thing and could not get it to work on my ladies schwinn cruiser bike. It seems to need the cross bar (which I thought were only on mens bikes). Am I missing somthing because I am thinking of sending it back.

Works fine for my Trek (not 29) but w discs, should b no problem. It's basically just a skewer- I would be shocked if it didn't work w any bike

Bike does not come tuned. Buyer needs to install pedals and adjust derailer. I did it myself following the included instructions. I'm sure a bike shop you do it much faster than I did, but I found it easy enough for my first go at it. You'll either need to flip the bike over and stand it on the handlebars / seat, or find a way to get the back tire off the floor so you can "pedal" and check the gear shifts.

skewer is included and as far as heavier flywheel you don't have any need for one just drop the gears and you'll have plenty of resistance !!!! great product and so easy to use best of luck

The rack has two scewers on it that your quick release front fork fits on. It tightens down just like the wheel does. I've used it three times so far it works like a dream

My son uses it for his paper route and has no problems. There is a bracket that swivels with the back of the bike. The bracket doesn't allow for really sharp turns as the tire will hit the bar, but it does allow for up and down movement along with the swivel.

Yes, it sure will. Just know that you will need to convert the rear wheel to a quick-release. The trainer does come with a skewer.

I don't have a quick release on my rear wheel, and the screws that are on my rear wheel are so tight, I couldn't even get them to unscrew. (Don't know what I'm going to do when I need to replace the back tire, guess will have to take to bike shop!) Anyway, I was able to get the screws to lock into place where the skewer would go on the trainer, and it is really sturdy. You might want to try that.

I believe that the skewer intended for the rear wheel is longer. You may need a spacer if the threading isn't enough but it should work.
