Older Model Zipp 404 Firecrest - Kurt Kinetic Dumb Trainer
Quote | Reply
Just picked up my first set of (used) 404s. Can they go on an old Kurt Kinetic trainer? My trainer doesnt require the back wheel to be taken off.

Cheers, BQ

Can't see why not. Whilst not those specific wheels, I've used 2 or 3 different wheels on my 'dumb' KK rock'n'roll turbo.

Biggest faff was sourcing a Traxle for it rather than the traditional QR axle that came with mine, when I got a bike with a bolt-through axle rather.


I'd defo chuck an old shiiiite tyre on it though if it's going to be used a lot - my rear tyre is defo flattened and coated in a thin silvery Alu sheen as a result of use. I'd be miffed if I did that to a race day tyre.

They can. Use a junk QR as to not damage the nice one the wheels came with.

Bigger issue is the tire. They wear out quickly on the trainer. Rather than swapping tires I swap to an old wheel with a trainer tire on it.
