Roller Advice
It's gets cold and snowy in my hometown during the winter, so I've been looking into getting a set of roller. Any advice?
BTW I'm a college student, so money is a bit of an issue. Thanks James |

Re: Roller Advice
Hi
Elite's Fluid trainers are great. It Takes off a lot of stress not to have to worry about your balance like in a roller, plus not to worry about level-difficulty adjustments. Just choose a gear you can spin for 30 to 40 minutes and set your favourite TV or Radio program  of course you can even operate the remote control while riding !http://www.amazon.com/Elite-Fluid-A...w/dp/B000BOA7OE Regards P.S. You can shift gears just like you do when road riding (making your workout easier or harder) |

Do you already have a trainer? I've been using a set of Kreitler Alloy rollers with headwind and flywheel for ~12 years - love 'em. One word of caution - they are a pain in the ass to take to races and I'm looking for a rear wheel unit that I can more easily toss in the back of the car (Kurt Kinetic?). The link that Alex posted is a good review of the rollers available. I have to ask, why do you want a set of rollers? Dave |

Re: Roller Advice
Get some ROLLERS - trainers are too boring. I have both and if I really can't get out on the road then I always go for the rollers.
I got mine secondhand for $80 or $90 and they're great. |
