Rollers

Appalling recall all round, Dan, but I suppose I should clarify as you’ve dragged me here with an @lert.

• I have the Cycleops rollers (rebranded Sportcrafters).
  
• I have the old style magnetic bar attachment with an ‘off’ position, plus 5 steps of resistance, but have since started using an alternative (see further down list)
  
• I do my high cadence stuff on the roads (as @dan would testify, because it’s the kind of spectacle that overpowers his handicapped powers of recall).
  
• I’m not fond of the turbo, and my wife’s monopolised it.
  
• To get reasonable resistance for half hour ‘rides’ at 85-115rpm while keeping the speed restricted to avoid vibrations (using 48x16), I am now the proud owner of a progressive roller drum which fits the bill nicely. The resistance curve ramps up fairly quickly. I’m only doing it for general middle aged keep fit these days.
  
  

Wow, a post.
