Not sure I would say 'no one thinks....', more like you and most people in the forum who have plenty of common sense obviously know that.

I hear a lot of rubbish about there being more resistance, specifically, by tilting the front wheel up and such. When in reality we know that the resistance on a trainer has nothing to do with the front wheel.

I find the trainer to be very efficient, productive, and especially useful for intervals. Actually intervals are the all I do on the trainer

GLC - Hadn't seen a trainer like that before, it is rather interesting. Being that my rear wheel has a power hub, I'm a little protective you know.

Anyway, end of thread hijack
