jsharr ★ Posted March 18 Share #2 Posted March 18 Is that on one of those scam bid sites? You have to pay what you bid, so 800 people all bid $17.01, then .02 etc and they make $12000 and sell one set of rollers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a bunch of numbers Posted March 18 Author Share #3 Posted March 18 Mac.bid. It's not a scam. I've gotten things from there before. The catch is, you have to go to their warehouse to pick it up. So, you have to live somewhat close to one of their warehouses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to ride them in the winter about 3 times a week. You get to learn how to balance and hold your line. If you don't you fall over and/or ride off of the rollers and fall over. Been there done that.... It's like forgetting to unclip. And yes I used cleats and clipped in to ride them. https://www.kreitler.com/alloy I also used the 'Killer Headwind Fan'. That added a LOT of resistance, based on how much you opened the cover to the fan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikeguy Posted March 18 Share #8 Posted March 18 42 minutes ago, a bunch of numbers said: I'd probably kill myself. I used to ride inside my garage in the winter. I'd move a car our and ride for 30 to 45 minutes. I'd ride intervals to keep things interesting. I needed to pay attention and concentrate on what I dong. One day I'm riding... maybe 25 minutes into the ride. WoBG walked into the garage. I had NO idea she was there. I was in my zone just riding. WoBG says, 'Hi.' That scared the shit out of me. I swerved a bit... just a little too much... and I rode of the side of the rollers, Then I fell over before I could unclip. That was the first time I fell off the rollers in years. It takes a while to learn... but you won't die. You may bruise your ego and possibly you side. I always rode next to a wall on the right. If I did fall over, it would be on the left side and I wouldn't kill the derailleur. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted March 19 Share #13 Posted March 19 I have thought about getting rollers again. I used them often in my racer boy days in the 80’s but chucked them many years ago. I have a trainer but it won’t work with through axles whereas rollers work with any bike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
