I'm looking for a trainer stand that will fit my old 3 speeds. I have a 68 Raleigh Sports and a 70 Raleigh Twenty. I'm considering an inexpensive trainer stand like the Conquer Magnetic.

These kind of stands are obviously designed for modern bikes, and come with a quick release skewer to fit the cups in the trainer stand. My question is: will the cups fit the Raleigh axle?

I did a search on the forums, and found one thread where a guy said he was able to make a (unnamed) trainer stand work with a 3 speed by removing the indicator chain and the long axle nut. The trade off was the bike reverted to single speed, which is OK with me. Since details were rather vague, I wonder if anyone has any experience or advice regarding fitting inexpensive trainer stands to 3 speeds. Thanks in advance! -
