Re: Riding disc wheels or wheel covers full-time [Kentucky Mac]

Not to hijack, but I'm curious about this too. I have four races with about 3 wks between each. I use a wheel cover and do most of my workouts on a trainer (Trainer Road) and really didn't want to take it off, put it on, take it off, etc. So I've left it on AGAINST the recommendation of the manufacturer. So far so good. Anybody know why it's suggested not to use wheel covers for an extended time on a trainer?

My last wheelcover died because I had a pinch flat after switching tubes while riding on the trainer, the tube violently blew, and the escaping air cracked a big chunk of plastic as it escaped the tube/rim area. Makes a big noise too :)
