Roller
training is the most effective method to maintain target heart rate while
improving spin, balance and form. Plus, it's the most fun!
After
an initial period to develop skill, riding rollers demands essentially the same
concentration as road riding. Therefore,
proper mental skills are constantly improved on rollers, unlike bad habits that
can be promoted by stationary trainers. Add
the tremendous benefits gained in balance, control, and bike feel while riding
rollers, and you can see why we say,
"Real riders ride rollers".

New for 2010 and in stock now! Due to their excellent design and
construction, these are already our #1 seller! The heavy duty tapered rollers
make it almost impossible to ride off the machine. The drums are 4" in diameter
at the outside then use parabolic tapers to 3" centers so you get a solid
workout without the need for added resistance. The Antares collapse to just
31.5" for easy transport and storage. Ideal for home workouts as well as
pre-race warm-ups.
Adjustable length to fit all adult road, track, and hybrid bikes.

to a heat vent or in a car trunk as this may distort your rollers.
Roller
Belts ~
Roller belts eventually break, so it's good to have a spare on hand. For
traditionally sized rollers (apx 4 to 4 1/2" in diameter) use the 72" belt. For downsized
rollers (3" and under) use the 66" belt. Our belts are made by Kreitler for the
highest quality available. They work equally well for all makes.
For Tacx Antares rollers select the 72" belt.
