My local bike shop convinced me to get a Minoura. The contact point is about the rim and not adjacent the tire. Reports indicate pressure on the tire wear them out quickly. Any truth to that.
Don't think I would get bored with a trainer's boredom. Better than nothing. This way my music will be live instead of in my head. I will find it an alternative on days do not have time to get outdoors, which of course we all prefer.
