Simple - you're static on the rollers.
One thing you forget is that you never stay in the exact same position for the entire 100 miles compare to riding the rollers inside your slightly askewed flat.
You might stand up on the saddle to climb the Col d'Wimbledon Hill, you wait at the traffic light sitting on your top tube like a prommuter in Kingston, you shift back as you perform your splendid attack at Sawyer Hill to chase your fellow MAMIL on his orange Allez, or simply ride on the very nose of your saddle and arm tucked in, in a last ditch attempt at trying to stay under 1 hours during the notorious three laps challenge.

oh hai ..
why do i get numbness in the bollocks region only when I am on rollers and never ever on >the road even after 100 miles or richmond 3 laps ? I have also noticed I put more weight on >hands while on rollers .. are they constant downhill angle? Or is my flat?I have the same. Can only go on the turbo for an hour tops before it becomes too uncomfortable. Not numbness, more like general ass pain as if I was using an uncomfortable saddle, however on the road I can ride all day without issue on the same bike.
I also feel like I have more pressure on my hands. I've always assumed it's something to do with not being on an actual moving object.
