Yes, I forgot to mention how quickly a trainer will eat up your rear tire. Not knowing this last winter, I managed to completely ruin my last Maxxis Fuse (as in "not terribly cheap") tire. This year I have an eight dollar wonder mounted on the rear (with a couple more hanging in the garage, waiting for the first cheap-o to wear out.)
