I googled the Sportcrafters Mini-Roller Trainer. Does anyone have experience with that one or another? I have a Catrike Pocket.

TIA

Thanks Peter.

I bought it here:
https://www.terratrike.com/shop/accessories/sportcrafters-mi ni-roller-trainer/prod_29.html
It accommodates wheels 16"- 29"s and comes assembled.  There is a small charge for shipping.

It isn't like being outdoors, but it's okay for indoor exercise and works smoothly.

But if I tie the brakes as it says to, I won't be able to shift the gears.
We are trying to think of a solution.

Happy New Year to all!

Hi Sara, to 'lock' the front wheels you could tighten up the adjustment on the levers so the brakes are always engaged. But over time that can 'stretch' the spring in the brake unit and the cable.

An alternative could be something like this:

The uprights sit under the steering points. For using with the Trainer, I'd make the horizontals stick out on both sides for stability.
