Hi,
I have heard a few comments about it not being a good idea to use carbon frame bikes on indoor trainers as it can produce exceesive flex and strain on the frame - anyone have any thoughts on this?
I have an elderly Specialized epic carbon frame bike and mounted it for the first time yesterday on my new cycleops fluid trainer. I did notice that the rear tyre was moving from side to side to some extent (1/4 to 3/8 inch) while I was cycling (yes, the bike was securely attached), although our crappy floorboards may have been contributing!
Any advice appreciated
