Good question! I have in the past put a trainer on my road bike. They are a bit pricey for decent ones and when I tried them in the past I just really didn't like it as much. I also didn't like putting on and off trainer.

That said I really bought this setup as a spin bike for spin classes. Which to me I don't want to put stress on my road bike and I want that resistance in the fly wheel.

Rollers are slightly more mentally engaging and don't require bike mods unless you want to swap in a different set of tires.
