I haven't had a problem with rust, but the clearcoat on one bike that I used on the trainer (and the road) did begin failing, and I suspect it may have been from the sweat. This was before using the sweat guard.
That is EXACTLY the device I was thinking of! Though I think this year I will try the pipe insulation trick and see how that works for me!
I DO have a set of rollers, and last year I attempted to learn to ride them. I will try again this year, and perhaps I will have greater success with a freewheeling bike with variable gears instead of the fixed-gear I was using before ...
