Hi All

After some advice please!

Can anyone recommend a smart turbo trainer less than £500 that will accept a bike with a 10mm thru axle?

I did buy this one on a previous recommendation and even with adaptors I can’t get my bike (Fuji Gran fondo) to fit, despite being told it would.

Cheers in advance

I use a TACX Vortex not direct drive. I'd suggest that's the answer, no need for a thru axle.

Tried those skewers as well but to no avail!

I’ll have a look at the taco, thanks.
