Interesting. yes, I can see the need to go back and forth, but would be cool to be able to modify a trainer quickly to accommodate both. So far, the quickest solution is to throw a towel underneath the roller drum of the track Omnium, or maybe a square of carpet/rug. Seems corny and low-tech, but it works.
