I live in the Northeast US and after a rough year which included some crashes, countless flats and the upcoming cold weather I want to transition to mostly indoor training. (4x per week) Looking for some input on my best option with what I have to start with.
My main road bike is a carbon 17' Fuji Transonic 2.1 Ultegra Di2 with a powertap g3 hub. My alternate road bike is a 09' aluminum Trek 1.2. Originally I was going to put my Trek on my CycleOps Fluid 2 trainer to save the Fuji from extra wear and don't really mind my trek. But without a power meter, I won't get much out of it. The fuji rear cog is a 11 speed and the trek is a 9 speed so I won't be able to just swap my rear wheel.
So should I
I guess I am worried about the additional wear on the Fuji; sweat, carbon stress, drivetrain, di2 components, etc that I could justify putting some money into another power meter on my beater bike.
Thoughts? Thank you in advance!

So should I
- Fuji on trainer, swap in a trainer tire, stop worrying
- Trek on trainer, buy another Powertap G3 for $399 or another power meter? and swap in a trainer tire
