Do you ride a trainer? In what gearing do you ride? Is it a fluid trainer?
How hard do you crank down the roller? If you crank it hard does this not
wear out the rear tire?

Thanks,

Yes, it ****s the tyre. The roller only needs to press on the tyre
hard enough to prevent slip, the resistance is provided by the
hydraulic brake in your "fluid". Don't worry about breaking anything -
those things are built for elites to do workouts in the 500W+ range at
40mph (that's 110rpm on a 56x12 gear)

OK, great. Thanks a lot!
