The Official Road Bike/Cycling Thread

rupps and me got some stories about rollers in the living room. You can actually bunny hop of em to the floor and nothing happens. Unfortunately. :ror:

I think I was bunny hopping while on em. That was tough.

I can't imagine any other indoor training tool than a set of rollers.
 
Kickr bike trainer with trainer road and suferfest for me yo. Have not touched the rollers since I got that set up more than a year ago.

You saying you want the rollers? I will drop them off if so. Even made a resistance unit for them...

I only resort to it when I'm really struggling with my insomnia. By routine, I meant sleep / wake routine since I've changed schedules and it's got me screwed up.
 
I'm a long time lurker of this thread. You guys have nice bikes! mine sucks, I should get some upgrades...

I just use it because I hate cardio but I need cardio for racing MX. Riding my bike makes cardio fun and I get to see the city from a side I normally never would. I'm picking up a Tech Mag 3 this weekend so I can start riding before all the snow melts.

Nate, I think it was the lower end wheels more than anything else, but yes, towards the end of the year (having ridden all season, and after taking up SS riding), I could tell a big difference and had some minor issues.

Also, if you come off a set of rollers you're not going rocketing across the room. That's blown way our or proportion, but you will fall over though. :mrgreen:

I'll have to try that cream. I generally take melatonin but I've been slacking on that also. I just need to back into my routine and I should be OK.

Hmmm unless the spoke tension is too low or their racer light 140 lb rider weight limit wheels they should not flex that much.

Best bike is the one you ride all the time. I know a couple peeps who have lots of money and upgrades in their bikes and they don't hardly ever ride if at all.
 
I dunno know Nate, I'm a pretty big guy for a cyclist (I was about 210lbs then), but maybe my hubs needed adjusted or something, who knows.

I had some goodies waiting on me when I got home. Trying a Selle SMP seat on the advice of a friend, and picked up some sidi shoes on clearance the other day. If they're as comfy as my Sidi moto boots, I'll love 'em.
