Here's an odd trainer question for ya
I have a Kurt Kinetics trainer. I've always used it, no prob, with my Gary Fisher and my LeMond.
Well, ex Gary Fisher and ex LeMond. They're both gone now, replaced by an '07 Giant OCR c2 and an '08 Jamis Aurora Elite. They're both great bikes but it looks like the KK clamp will not accomodate the Jamis' rear skewer/dropout. I'm skittish about trying the Giant. So, great... I've ended up with two bikes and a trainer that don't work together. Am I nuts? Am I missing something? Has anyone successfully thrown a Jamis Aurora Elite on a KK trainer? How? Thanks all!

I assume that your problem is the interface with the skewer. Many trainers come with an older style skewer for this reason. Just go to the LBS and buy an inexpensive skewer that is compatible.
