I spent $100 on one years ago and was happy to sell it for $35 to a friend last year. I found it doable for 10 minutes at a time, and then getting off that and getting on my ski machine (also sold) for another 10 minutes. Hey, 20 minutes (even 5 minutes) is better than not doing it at all.

:) The extensions cost as much as my rollers! I could probably find the right size extruded aluminum if I really wanted to. Pretty cool that people ride tandems on rollers though. On Wednesday, March 18, 2020 at 3:17:00 PM UTC-5, Garth wrote: > > >Paul, for Kreitler rollers at least they

I just bought a set of rollers this week for the very same reason. The learning curve was short-- took about 15 minutes from zero to being (mostly) comfortable. There was more resistance than I was expecting, so it's not a bad workout at all. A friend who used to race helped me with adjusting

Thanks everyone. Garth, it's not advice about staying home. It's related to my schedule and how Covid19 is going to affect it for a while, which I can't explain because then I have to basically explain my whole life to a bike forum and haven't I already done enough of that? Yes I have! --

I've had several trainers in the past, from magnetic drive ones, fluid ones, to a Wahoo Kickr smart trainer. The best and most enjoyable I've used is the smart trainer. Get on Zwift, or Trainer road and you don't have to think about shifting and have proper power levels throughout the workout.

A very long ago I rode the original "Turbo Trainer" , then later Krietler Rollers. The TT was most disliked as the bike itself couldn't move and it was indoors. I'm not one for indoor or stationary "exercising". The rollers at least you are actually riding and balancing and you realize
