Having used Rollers and trainers I can honestly say they bore me to death and would rather potter about on the roads.........and spend the money on something else

They do place some unusual forces on your frame, I wouldn't use one of those with a decent bike. Worth keeping a spare wheel for the trainer as they do wear tyres more quickly than road cycling.
Another thing to be aware of is sweat - if you are training hard, sweat will drip onto your bike which will lead to corrosion.

You can use a turbo tyre or a old tyre, it's easier with a spare rear wheel as trying to fit a turbo tyre is a art form that I have not yet mastered.

I'm going to put my winter bike on it (Trek 1.5 road bike) so no need for spare wheels, also you can buy sweat catchers.
Still no recommendations for which trainer................
