Trainer tire 700 x 23 wanted

Hi all,

I blew up my rear tire on zwift yesterday. Dramatic explosion :lol:

I am looking for a replacement trainer tire 700 X 23.

Does anyone have one for sale? They seem as rare as hens teeth during the pandemic.

Any tips on avoiding another blowout welcome. I was using a ( new to me) Saris cycle ops pro, wheel on, smart trainer.

Thanks,

Pierre :D

I was able to find a trainer tire at Oak bay Cycle before Christmas. No blowouts but actually had a tire start to melt (smell of burning rubber and tire turning to liquid) when the tire was slipping on the trainer. The (not smart- magnetic resistance) trainer became too hot to touch. Lesson learned- make sure the tire does not slip.
Also have had a flat indoors - ran over a pin moving the bike!

Hi there, I have a used one and a brand-new one I'll be getting rid of as I bought a direct drive trainer. LMK.
