I thought I'd stir up the pot with a question, since it relates to the OP: Any concerns in riding 500 miles with a high dollar bike ... on a trainer ... in about 6 to 8 weeks of winter? Especially on fart-light bikes made of ti and carbon?

A completely stationary trainer like the Kurt Road Machine ... where the frame is not allowed to tilt laterally ... will have the rider's weight unrealistically shifting to the left & right of the upright bike frame. The lateral weight shifting, on a bike trainer, is probably not what the bike's frame was made for. So, the question is, would extended use of a trainer possibly compromise high dollar bikes?
