Does anyone have an old or second set of rollers they don't use anymore and want to sell?
PM or text me if you have something - thanks.

I just went to check for any responses and saw your name PS as the responder and just knew there was going to be a witty response waiting for me - thanks mate  Now - how about your rollers, surely you don't use them much.... once, maybe twice a season just to give the Aussie Skin Suite a whirl in the garage. Bet it looks good on you too.  |

Andy,
If you are looking to try out rollers before you buy anything come on over and give my eMotion rollers a spin. These things are fantastic and I can not speak more highly of them. I was unsure as you know about getting them inititly as I wanted to also use them for resistance training as well and usually rollers and resistance do not work well together but these things have a machined flywheel and mag unit same as a normal Mag training so you dont get the choppy pedaling problem common with other rollers that have mag units.
Also since they move back and fwd with your riding motion you can stand up out of the saddle to give your butt a rest or do all out sprints. The resistrance levels are power calibrated from 0 to 1000 watts over 4 levels.
They are however a fixed unit that is built complete and not foldable so if you wanted to transport them you need a wagon
Anyhow enough "Gadget Garbble" may garage is open if you want to try them out just ride past one afternoon
Cheers
Glen

Mick, let me know next time your having a roller session and I will bring them over.
Rosko, They were $970USD including shipping by fedex from the usa ( I think about $150 of that is shipping ) which is pretty good when you consider they weigh 39lb and ship in a bike box

Thanks for the offer Gadget - you obviously forgot the Linda reads the forum. With the price of the rollers listed I have no way of getting a set of those! In all honesty - I am just after a cheap set to use until Santa arrives. Hopefully he will check the link so he knows where to get a set. Still, I'd be keen to get over and have a go on yours - they sound fantastic! |

Just catching up with all the chatter, these rollers look neat, had a look at the youtube demo and they look they have a safety wheel on the edge of the front roller to stop your wheel rolling off, Is that right Gadget  |

Isn't that what your brain is for? |
