Bought a trainer and have 2 questions:
1: When I took my axle out mine had some type of lubercation on it. Do I need to lubercate the new trainer axle before riding?
2: My computer is setup on my front wheel, but my trainer is on the back. Does anyone move their computer to see what things are doing?

1. A little lube never hurt anybody. Are you talking about your skewer, or part of the trainer?
2. I'd only mess with it if you have cadence. The speeds will be misleading. Pay more attention to your HR than anything.

I moved my computer sensor to the seatstay when i got the new carbon fork. Moving it actually served two purposes: I was so consumed with avg speed and time that i was having a hard time enjoying the rides and it kept from mounting the sensor on the new fork. It is wireless and i just keep the display unit in my under seat bag. So long as i remember to turn it on before i head out, it keeps my mileage and times to look at when i get back from the ride.

Just use a lithium grease, which you can get at an auto parts store. It will be cheaper than a bike specific product, and can be bought in a small amount.
