If buy turbo trainer, is it necessary to buy special tayar for it? Some say, if use normal tayar, can melt the tayar coz no tahan heat. I sked its some kind of marketing boogeyman, so what u guys think? Based on your experience.

No issues using it, don't think it will melt but it will definitely prematurely wear out the tyre because of the different compound.

Trainer specific tyres aren't meant to be on the road due to this factor too and mounting tyres is a lot of hassle so it is best if you can either get an extra pair of wheels(or just the rear) or for that amount of extra cash, go for an entry level or a knockoff direct drive trainer such as the Gravat 2? IF you have not bought a trainer that is

Thanks for the reply, will definitely skip beli tayar special since have to fork out $$$ for rear wheel + gear. Plan to get magnetic turbo trainer from Decathlon, since weekday kerja kacau cycling activity.

Do bike fitting! Not normal. Later your bebird can go numb, since need to bend down a bit when cycling. I tell u, the experience is very scary one!

Don't get Magene dual sensor if want to connect with Zwift. It would not detect, I tried already. Right now I'm eyeing for Bryton speed sensor since agak affordable + cincai requirements to play with Zwift.
