Trainer usage
Hello all. Is it "frame safe" to use an aluminum road frame with a rear wheel loaded trainer if I'm not doing any sprint work? Is it even a no-no to do sprints with an aluminum frame in the trainer? Thanks.

I also use an aluminum Trek Hybrid.
No problems!
My exercise is typical at 17 MPH, just above 90 RPM.
I also Stand up for up to 5 minutes at speeds of 18-20MPH.
No problems with that either!
