So i ride very hard on the trainer and do 99% of rides indoors. Recently my frame cracked behind the seat post ( where the frame branches out to make room for the rear wheel) due to riding on a cycle ops 300$ trainer. I push 500-600 watts for over unders and I can feel the bike creaking and straining and I know the crack was caused from these types of workouts over time. I googled for trainers, but I can't find anything but I have heard whispers of trainers that don't harm the frame. So I come to Slowtwitch for advice. Thank you.
