Anyone got any 26" turbo tyres kicking around they'd like to sell on? I have a mate who I'm passing on my old dumb trainer to, so that he can maintain some fitness during the lockdown, but we're struggling to find any suitable tyres available online that aren't stupidly expensive.

That’s not a turbo specific tyre, but will work fine.

The alternative is I provide him with a set of earplugs for his Mrs (and all his neighbours)

If you can collect from east Southampton, while wearing a hazmat suit because we are self-isolating as my better half is now part way through a second week of "stay away from work" symptoms, I'm pretty sure we have a proper 26" Conti turbo tyre (and several pairs barely used 26x1.9-2.35" urban/light off-road Schwalbe tyres).

Just use a cheap slick. I swapped to a dedicated turbo tyre recently and the only difference is its a litte bit quieter
