This is likely the case. If I set my preload to the OEM instructions & the next person overly or lessens the resistance, it'll change the inertia load by a lot. To me, that interia load impacts coasting abilities on a trainer. Rendering mine not a coasting trainer. I'm training for exercise & really any coasting would not be a benefit.
