Bike Trainer Strummer BT-10

Enjoy a more premium indoor training experience with Strummer BT-10. Using a fluid resistance system, this trainer delivers a smoother, more natural pedaling feel for indoor cycling.

The BT-10 features a built-in Bluetooth power meter, allowing it to connect to a phone, tablet/iPad, or laptop for integration with indoor training apps such as Zwift, Rouvy, and MyWhoosh. The trainer can also connect to a Bluetooth-enabled Garmin cyclocomputer, which reads the trainer as a power meter.

Please note that the Strummer BT-10 does not support ERG mode and does not support automatic resistance simulation based on climbs in the app. This trainer is designed to read the power you produce while pedaling. For cadence data, you will need a separate cadence sensor.

Designed to accommodate various bicycle wheel sizes, from 26 inches to 29 inches, as well as 700c, making it suitable for many types of bicycles.

Compatibility

The Strummer BT-10 is suitable for bicycles with a quick release skewer system on the rear hub measuring 10 × 135 mm to 10 × 142 mm.

For bicycles with a thru axle system, a 12 × 142 mm axle compatible with the trainer is available separately, with the following options:

Strummer 12 × 142 mm Trainer Thru Axle Options

• Strummer Thru Axle, Trainer, 12 × 142 mm, M12 × 170L × P1.0 × 25, Silver
  SKU: ASQR-00012SL
• Strummer Thru Axle, Trainer, 12 × 142 mm, M12 × 170L × P1.5 × 25, Silver
  SKU: ASQR-00013SL
• Strummer Thru Axle, Trainer, 12 × 142 mm, M12 × 170L × P1.75 × 25, Silver
  SKU: ASQR-00014SL

For bicycles with a 12 × 142 mm size, you must first check the pitch of your bicycle's thru axle. The pitch information can usually be found on the thru axle, but the axle generally needs to be removed first so the marking can be seen clearly.

If there is no pitch information on the axle, we recommend:

• contacting your bicycle manufacturer / brand, or
• taking manual measurements

This is important to ensure that you choose the appropriate trainer thru axle.

Bicycles with a 12 × 148 mm size may also be supported, but require additional attention. First, make sure that your 12 × 148 mm bicycle can use a thru axle for the Strummer bike trainer. The main factors to check are the thru axle size and length.

If the axle is long enough for your bicycle, it can be used and the trainer can be installed. However, if the thru axle is too short, it cannot be used for that bicycle.

If you still want to use a trainer at home, but your bicycle cannot use a replacement thru axle and therefore cannot be installed on this trainer, particularly for some bicycles with the 12 × 148 mm standard, we recommend:

Strummer Hybrid Bike Roller BR-700H
SKU: BTRAN-00011BKSL

Usage Recommendations

On trainers with a tire drive system, contact between the tire and roller can cause the tire to wear relatively quickly. This is normal for tire drive trainers. We recommend using a trainer-specific tire with a smooth tread.

For a more optimal experience, we recommend using a tire with a smooth tread to provide:

• less vibration
• lower noise
• a more comfortable indoor training experience

Make sure the trainer is installed correctly and securely before use.

If you use a Strummer trainer thru axle on the BT-10, make sure the spacer is installed correctly to maintain the required distance between the trainer clamping system and the bicycle frame. This is important to help prevent scratches or damage to the frame.

Connecting to Garmin

If you use a Garmin cyclocomputer with Bluetooth, the BT-10 trainer can be connected as a power meter.

How to connect:

1. Pedal the bicycle first to activate the trainer sensor.
2. Open the sensor menu on your Garmin device.
3. Add the trainer as a power meter.
