Bikes: '71 Raleigh Sports, '84 Schwinn LeTour on the trainer (and available for hill repeats), '06 Scott CR1 SL (Ksyrium SL), and a yet-to-be-determined TT bike.
I keep my beater on my trainer. I put the roller pretty tight against my tire, and don't worry about the tire. Then I push myself to keep up the effort against that resistance. When I'm back out on the road, that same level of effort seems to make me a lot faster.
