Cyclists of the world. Trainers or rollers? I wanna buy something to pedal indoors but i can’t decide what do get. Overall, i feel bored riding indoors. I have had trainers and it gets boring really fast. Rollers sound exciting but it could take a while to get used to it.
Rochelle’s balance is incredible. Sure, she probably has years and years of experience, but still. Very impressive.
That is the most dangerous and stupidest invention in cycling ever..
Hi GCN,
cut the felt pads with a thickness of about 1mm and place them under bearings – would be quieter.. 🙂
its a dyno for bikes
what do you recomend for not sweting alot?I open the window and have a ventilator but de ventilator is not enough during the intervalls
great tutorial, thanks
Not only the bike is hot but she is a hottie.
Thanks for the post, using up and riding in just 5 minutes.
Lets just do trainers hehe
I am using Unflexal instructions to all my workouts ideas 🙂
Wow… you make it seem too easy.
This is the best instructional video for rollers I’ve found. Very clear and practical tips. It got me up and rolling in no time.
ive got hybrid tyres. should i change em
Don’t look down at your front wheel. Chris Froome would have a hard time with that
Thank you! This video is very good!
Rollers or stand?
Why?
what if the bike was strapped down to something?
Outstanding! The best roller tutorial on the web. Thank you.
Did not see that coming! 2:13
I learn to ride bike at age of 46 month a go and I am thinking getting rollers to improve to skills . What is your advice
@Joel Manley I have my rear brake in my right because I am a lefty
Brava ! Good job ! Many thanks
i’ve suffered thru a few other “rollers tips” and yours are the best. to the point, concise, perfect. information and not all this blah blah blah about opinions and what other athletes think and feel…. you should see some of the other “trainers” out there claiming to be whatever they are. anyway, good video, added to favorites and Thumbs Up 🙂
Can you use normal tyres on rollers
Rochelle, I’ve been using my rollers now about a month – 4 sessions of an hour each. You tips have been invaluable! I have two questions: 1) how do I reach and drink from my water bottle? I am able to get the bottle, then lose my balance when I try to drink!
2) how do I practice to be able to go hands-free like you?
BTW – love the accent 😀
marry me 🙂
Looks like she is having way to much oil in that chain….
great tips but how do you advance to the point where you can get going without having to lean on or grab hold of something?
the girls good
is it possible to get on and off the bike with nothing on the sides
THANK YOU!!! This was awesome and helped me so much.
Why shuld you use rollers at all? For the price of rollers you can get winter cloths and ride your bike anywhere any time, oustide. I cant understand why people do this.
What happens if you smash your front brake?
How do you warm down? Impossible! You warm UP & cool down!!!
if you are riding on the heaviest gear what does it feel like? os it like riding a climb, descent or just flat?
She is damn hot!! I am in love
