Agree! I think a turbo trainer exposes/accentuates dead spots in your pedal stroke more than riding on the road does. Because the IDT puts a lot of resistance on the back wheel' date=' it stops very quickly when you don't pedal. I think that this forces you to work harder through the dead spots in your pedal stroke, just to keep a constant speed. I suffer like a dog on the IDT at the begining of winter, and go much better at the end of winter.[/quote'] Yip same here after winter....those hills also feel a bit less steep!!
