Turbo Trainer Setup - Struggling

[22s]

Hi all,

I've had a turbo for a while, never really used it but when I have it's never really fitted properly with my bike.

This means that the rear tyre sits slightly forward of the roller and has actually started to rub through the plastic of the roller mount (see below).






I've tried adjusting the roller unit and I just can't get the tyre to not rub. Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong, or am I just in the unfortunate position that my bike doesn't fit?

The turbo is Elite Supercrono Powermag and I'm riding a Planet X RT-90.

Thanks in advance for the advice!

The only thing I can see, well I can't see it is a front wheel riser. Or whatever they are called. This would lift the front and maybe let the rear clear the frame where it is rubbing.

I've only used a direct mount TT so can't help more.

There's a link to google for what I can't see in the photo.

Thanks! I have the riser and have used it - still rubs!

Thanks - yes it does look the wrong way round ha! I will do a switcharoo and see what happens. Cheers!
