I assume that you'd get a second rear wheel with the same type of cassette as the one on your original wheel...and you should be good to go!

I have talk to others who do this to save their back tires. Do you see any problems with using the same chain? What about a 2nd rearwheel for using on the trainer?

I wanted to get a trainer with the interactive videos, but the systems and additional videos are really expensive. I got a simple fluid trainer. Now I use videos from Seek Out Cycling because they are really affordable, highly realistic, and easy for anyone to interact with no matter how simple their trainer is. This company (www.seekoutcycling.com) has a wide variety of movies for $5 each (6 for $30). It makes an hour on the trainer fly by and I feel like a champion. Thanks for the review. Great review.

But the knobs on a 'normal' mountain bike tire will make a lot of noise on a trainer, and the tread will wear off quickly. You can get a smooth mountain bike tire like this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002DX1DWG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=cyclingrevi00-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002DX1DWG" rel="nofollow">Kenda</a>, or you can buy the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FSKDS0/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=cyclingrevi00-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001FSKDS0" rel="nofollow">Minoura RDA80R Rimdrive Trainer</a>. Because the Rimdrive trainer contacts the rim of the wheel, rather than the tire, you can use any tire you'd like to. The Minoura is spoken of very highly by those who use it, but I don't have experience with it.
