Schoolboy error committed today. Left the Tacx Q/R in after my clubs turbo session. Went out today and left the back wheel behind at the first set of lights. Tightened it silly tight but it did the same again.

I did think you could leave them on the bike?

only prob with mine is that it is HEAVY.

works fine though... does your bike twist around when mounted on turbo?

I usualy use a Shimano one as the only ones i've had issues with in turbos are the HOPE/KCNC style ones.

I left the Tacx QR on my road bike pretty much permanently when I still had a turbo (alu frame). I thought that was the whole point of them.
