If you are running a Moots fork, trust that they have gone through and passed very strict fatigue testing as they were developed and proudced.</p> <p>However, you should regularly inspect your fork throughout the season to make sure all is good.</p> <p>As for the rear triangle on your Moots frame, there have been countless owners that have logged thousands of miles on wind trainers without issue....ride that thing with confidence!</p> <p>Let me know if you have any more questions.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Jon@Moots </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=2523#post-5140 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 18:02:16 +0000 redcliffs 5140@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I've read opinions that suggest that trainers can be bad for wheels and/or rear triangles because of the forces put on them while riding. I'd welcome thoughts on this question, but I'm most interested in how folks feel about fork mounts for rollers -- I would like to be able to ride longer and harder than my skills will allow on rollers and have occasionally used a fork mount, but I'm wondering whether they put strain/pressure on the steering tube, headset bearings, head tube, etc.</p> <p>Thanks! /s </p>
