Tandem-friendly Trainer
 

I'm looking for a cycle trainer that is wide enough for the 145mm dropouts on my daVinci. I don't intend to have us train on the thing, I'll mostly use it for my single bike, but I'd like to be able to put the tandem on when I've got a strange noise to diagnose that can't be id'ed on my stand. Any suggestions? Doesn't have to be anything fancy.

I've tried a couple different ones (one really old and one new-ish) and they both worked fine.

Kurt Kinetic is the only one I know that is specifically rated for tandem use, and its also a very good trainer.

WE use a giant on our DV, works fine.

The Kurt mentioned above is a very good trainer. If it is tandem rated, I wouldn't hesitate to buy one.

been using tandem on Kurt since 07 and no issues so far . solid and very stable enough for off the saddle efforts. reco highly

any newer cycl-ops trainer can handle out the 160 mm dropouts on our santana, and it works just fine for our barn-burners.

I ordered a Kurt Kinetic Road Machine. Haven't had the tandem on it yet, but I think it will be a big improvement over the inexpensive trainer I gave to one of my sons. Thanks for all the input.
