Carbon Bike On Indoor Trainer???

Hmmm....sure hope not! My P2C has spent MANY hours tethered to the trainer. Winters are long here........

An old wives tale... You're stressing the bike less in a trainer than you do on the road. Absolutely no need to worry about using carbon on a trainer.

same here... I thought it sounds like BS but figure I'd ask.

I do always feel sorry for her when she is stuck on that thing though.....seems so cruel! Soooo she is getting a Computrainer this winter!

Yes...she is a girl....
Yes...I talk to her........ 

 

LOVE my CompuTrainers! We bought two, one for me and one for my wife and ride all winter long. The CT really makes indoor training fun! If we are doing some specific workouts, then we use our normal fluid trainers (such because it's a bit difficult to move the entire CT to the club house to ride... we meet the club members and do trainer sessions in the winter)

I know EXACTLY how you feel. I hate having to use the PC at work. I honestly feel like I would be twice as productive if I could use my mac at home!

LOL
Fellow mac user here!
 I figured it was a double post because you have TWO Computrainers and you REALLY REALLY love them!! 

Good one... one post per CT.

As was stated above, I've had mine on a CompuTrainer for the last 2 winters and have no issues.  Have several thousand miles on it.  The only thing I did was put a stainless steel skewer in it rather than a carbon one and use a cheap tire. 

I've heard of lots of people using carbon frame bikes on a trainer with no problems.  The owner of my bike shop has cracked 2 carbon frames riding on his trainer.  Maybe it's the way he rides, maybe he's got bad luck...I don't know.

I'm guessing it's just like anything...it could happen, and happens to some, but it's rare.
