I have a resistance trainer and use my Trek 7.3FX which has Bontrager tires with just a smooth traction strip. The back tire has been quickly damaged, the traction strip is completely shreaded in just a short time. Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions?

I agree with both Michael and Stephen. Use a different tire and wheel on your trainer than for your regular outdoor rides. Of course, if it’s a tread resistant device, you’re going to wear out the tire quickly, especially if you ride hard.

Take care, ride hard!
