1013.0. "TRAINERS NOT TRAINING" by WMOIS::C_GIROUARD () Fri Feb 24 1989 17:03

    Anyone have this problem. Last night I bought a Blackburn wind
    trainer (Trakstand). I went to bolt 'er up and didn't get the
    right fit. I have Chorus and the "cups" that grip the quills
    are wide or deep enough.
    
    I own a Minoura Mag and the fit was perfect. No lateral slop at
    all. I think the threads are compatible and will try and swap
    tonight. The suggestion I got at the shop was 1) try the swap
    2) they'll give me a set of smaller quills to use while it's
    on the trainer & 3) they just started stocking the bolt/clamp
    replacement pieces. He said he'd take care of me no matter
    what.
    
    I can't imagine a company like Blackburn not taking a significant
    company and gruppo into consideration. This trainer was $131.00.
    
    Common or rare - any suggestions?

    Return the wind-trainer and cough ou another $70.00 and get a set
    of rollers. Rollers are not that hard to ride.
