Not sure in your case but in general a bike frame flexes more and differently when secured to a trainer. Assuming that this is the type that holds the rear axle in place the frame is forced to twist as leg torque alternates from one side of the bike to the other. Sometimes I worry about my bike frames when riding my fluid trainer. Rollers would probably be better for the bike but not necessarily for the rider.
