Greetings All, Does anyone know if using a carbon bike on a stationary trainer is damaging to the frame? I've recently replaced my steel frame with a carbon frame and would like to continue my regular indoor training schedule. Has anyone had any experiences or knowledge of this question? Thanks! |

You're better off not using your carbon frame on a trainer. You've probably noticed how much more your frame flexes (particularly through the BB area) while on a trainer as compared to riding on the road. This increased flex helps to fatigue your frame at a greater rate.
