This worked for me on my Cycleops Trainer and it might not work for you. But just thought i'd offer my experience.
So you make it tighter on the wheel so there's more resistance? I thought the idea was to make as little contact as possible with the trainer because if it's tight the tire can get flat spots. That's what I read on an old thread.
