I took the advice and replaced my new higher end Continental rear tire with the orignal Felt Z85's rear tire that I had saved. Just after three days of riding there is a raised ridge developing at the center of the tire ? Theses trainers do destroy tires, so beware . Also My Felt has a Shimano 105 group along with the bottom bracket and the crank as well . Decent quality group but it seems that the crank and bottom assembly gets much more of a workout than my typical back country road riding would place on it . I will continue to use the trainer although . Any similar experiences or issues, damage to your bike from a trainer . Thanks
