Okay,
I looked a whole bunch of trainers online. I don't get it. So I'm gonna ask here (I hope I'm not hijacking the thread).
1. Which type is not gonna wear down my tire?
2. If I'm on it (any type) for an hour or more is it gonna get so hot that it pops my tire? (I read reviews last night about that happening)
3. Do I need a tire prop?
4. What do I need to measure distance? (another bike computer to go on the back wheel or can I get my current computer put on the back?)
5. How do you change resistance? Why would the trainer come with a remote? I thought that you changed resistance by changing gears, is that wrong?
6. Do the trainers come with a list of compatible bikes? (You know, like how bike racks sometimes list which cars they will fit)
7. I want to be able to do interval stuff (speed...I guess like spinning and lots of resistance kind of simulating hills) I saw some trainer that have 3 levels of resistance I'm assuming that if I set the resistance high then I can aso change gears to make it harder. I'm still not sure how the resistance thing works anyway.
8. Will I damage my frame? Will stresses put on the bike from being staitionary gonna damage the frame? If so, should I use the trainer with my mtb or the road bike? i've got slick tires on the mountain bike right now.

Okay, I'm done.
Thanks,
Gray
