As the title says really. Need to set the Scandal up on the turbo trainer. What tyre would you recommend? Is it a 28 that I need?

Thanks in advance

Conti do a turbo trainer tyre but at 23mm it will probably be too narrow for your rims. Get any old 28 or 32mm slick and keep it pumped up.

Its just 700c, so get any road tyre. I'd try the Conti turbo tyre, a 23c should be fine for the turbo.

Will that not depend on the width of the rim bed? If it's, say, 21mm then a 23c tyre won't fit.
