But to be honest I wouldn't worry too much.

A friend of mine had their carbon roady pull out of a lemond while out of the saddle, which not only snapped the rear triangle, but caused major damage to the rider as well.
I guess this is why the QR should be checked each time for tightness before use, but a carbon frame can be pulled out of a relatively tight QR if u put enough distractive force thru it...

+1. Almost exactly the same situation. I ride the trainer for cardio, so I'm not thrashing it about. And why do I have a carbon frame on the trainer? Because my LBS had it left over from an insurance claim - in store damage.nescius wrote:I've used my carbon framed roadie on my KK Road Machine for years and never had a problem. Generally I don't do much sprint work on the trainer though, and I don't have a massive amount of power either. I don't know of anyone who has broken a frame on a trainer.

I do have the KK Rock n Roll though which moves nicely not locking the frame in - I would also recommend as above to use the skewer that comes with the trainer.
@zill - you won't need to service very often if purely on the trainer things I used to watch were rear tire wearing, bit of gear tuning that is about it, chain stays nice and clean as does the rest of the bike.
