Bikes: Batavus Pro road bike, Generic alu. mountainbike. Oh and an ELite Volare Mag trainer for the cold months.

Tyres suffer on the trainer, so he might want to fit a (slightly wider) cheapo tyre for trainer use.

If you're worried about stresses, then probably the best thing you can do is fit a cheapo quick-release spindle on the back wheel. That will save your better quality one from possible deformation.

I'm not entirely sure how much increased risk there is on the other componentry though.
