Training & Nutrition - need some information

I have just borrowed a Mag trainer from a friend at work to use for my cardio training. The problem is it did not come with a instrustion book so I was guessing on bike setup. What I found was that when I got off the bike there was a fair amount of rubber on the floor so I was wondering if I have to much pressure on the wheel. Any info. or suggestions would be great. Oh and it is a Magturbo by Minoura

I have the Minoura Mag and do not have your problem with rubber.

Do you have the adjustable tension model with a cable mounted to your bar?

Likely you have either the pressure too high on the tire or the resistance too high.

Thanks for the info never even thought about looking for a web site.

I went an took a look at the website as I was there I down loaded the instruction manual and found out that the tension was to tight on the wheel also I noticed that the tire was low on air , bad lighting in the basement could not see an I was to much in a rush to try out the unit.
