Rim Drive Trainer on Road bike?
I have a rim drive trainer that i have always used with my mountain bikes. I bought a road bike since i last used the trainer and was wondering if it would hurt the lighter wheels?
Anyone use a rim drive trainer on their roadbike?
It isn't like my wheels are great or anything, they are just on a Trek 1000. (OEM) Still i don't want to screw up the wheel. Thanks.

I have a rim drive trainer that I've used for a few years now but it has developed an annoying sqeak lately resulting from not enough pressure being applied to the rims to keep them from slipping against the rubber wheels. I'll probably replace it next year but no real "problems" with it.
