Subject: Using a Carbon Frame Bike on a stationary trainer

All,

I just a new Carbon Framed tri-bike.  During assembly it states a couple things I want to get validated.

1. Do not secure front front in travel system. i.e. yakima fork mount, is this true?

2. Do not use stationary trainer, frame may break, is this true?

Please let me know,

Jason

I have no idea about #2, but with #1, I've put many carbon bikes on roof racks, securing the front, with no problems. I'm sure that it pays to be careful with it and slowly tighten it in, but I wouldn't see a probem with putting up there.
