I'm using this one.
My understanding is that they're harder compounds and designed to make less noise. I had some loud ass gravel tires so I needed something different.

> Here's a review of The Best Smart trainers. The cheapest model on this list is $599 and EVERY MODEL on this list puts out noise levels in excess of 70dB.
That review doesn't isolate noise generated by the trainer from noise generated by the bike's drivetrain. My point still stands, modern trainers aren't nearly as loud as the old ones you're talking about.
> the flywheel bike will have a smaller footprint
Show me a flywheel bike that folds up this flat.
> Unless you get into the $1,200 and up models that don't use a tire, you're going to be wearing out tires.
Where are you getting your information? It's all wrong.
It's not recommended to ride your outdoor tires indoors. Get a $30 trainer tire, it will last several seasons. Problem solved.
> there's also some concern that bike trainers could damage carbon frames
Show 1 example of someone who broke their bike due to forces from the trainer. If this was actually a thing there would be examples all over the internet. Instead it's a bunch of people speculating that it might happen, like all the retrogrouches saying that wireless groupsets were going to be "hacked". This is such an outdated myth. All the pros train on trainers, considering the watts those athletes produce they would be the ones at risk for torquing a frame, but it NEVER happens, so stop perpetuating the myth.
Do not use your regular road tire! I "temporarily" used mine whilst I was waiting for my new wheel and trainer tire and ruined it. After riding on the trainer with the road tire, you can see the rubber that wears off after each use...which is quite a lot and the tire gets a flat spot in the center. The trainer tire I purchased is way more durable and doesnt leave rubber or wear nearly as much. This is the one I purchased along with a new wheel off Ebay. It takes just a minute to change, especially after watching this video.
When I zoom in on that photo, it looks like there's a allen-head set screw in the hole there. That's probably fine.
As others have said, a turbo trainer will fry a road tire. Get something like this for use on your trainer, or indoor training will get expensive and messy.
