One trick a friend of mine used on his Computrainer was to deflate the tire after use. That way, the bike could even be taken off the trainer after a session. When starting a new session, the bike could be reinstalled, tire inflated and you wouldn't have to recalibrate the trainer which involves warming up the tire before you set the tension on the trainer. I used to go to a training centre which used Computrainers and it took at least 10 minutes to calibrate the trainer once you installed the bike
