Trainer Tension/Resistance Level??

[DnvrFox]

We discuss a lot about trainers, but I have never seen any discussion on what tension/resistance level we set our trainers.

I have two trainers - a Nashbar with three manual adjustments set at the Q/R (for my wife), and a Minoura Hypermag with a cable to the front bars and about 7 different adjustments that I use.

I keep both at a low resistance, except I vary the Minoura depending upon the challenge I want, and especially setting it much higher when I stand while pedaling for short time intervals.

So how about you?

What adjustments do you have? Where do you set your tension/resistance?

I get plenty of resistance using low or medium, and my gears. Higher resistance probably hastens tire wear, too.
