Rollers with resistance - good way to get workout and try to retain some balance etc over the winter?

retain some balance

Better than drinking with hippy :-)

Works for me. Tops out at about 600w. After that point it gets a bit unsteady.

try to retain some balance

Why do you think you need to? Riding a bike is like, er, riding a bike. Once you can do it, it takes a long time to forget. Roller fans might claim there's some benefit, but really you'd be much better off going outside on your CX/MTB for an hour when you feel like it if you're concerned about balance and core.

my main problem with rollers is not being able to ride out the saddle/change position easily is painful for anything over an hour.

not being able to ride out the saddle/change position

I thought Elite E-Motion or TruTrainer was supposed to solve that, for people who can't shift about on normal rollers.

It's possible to ride out of the saddle on normal rollers, just takes a bit of practice. Being able to ride with no hands is also good as a break from sitting in this same position for ages.

My main problem with doing longer stuff on the rollers is that I lose the will to live.

Ee, when I were a lad, being able to take a jersey off while riding on the rollers was considered basic training. With a bit more practice, you could even become as proficient as an Australian girl :-)

I set a personal best of c.45minutes on the rollers without falling off yesterday. riding no hands can GTF.

I was pretty impressed with this:

There was I thinking she was going to mount the tub and ride off. Bah.

I thought she was going to hula hoop with it. Disappoint

Since i can't even trackstand I think i'll leave roller tricks for now.

i can't even trackstand

Do you even fixie!?

i can't even trackstand

burn your fixies .. sell your BMW (to me)

Oi!

What's your 'longer' stuff? 5min :P

:-P
90-120mins.

90-120 "minimum seconds"?

Powertap G3 mtb hubs.

A local store has them on 50%. I am in the process of planning a proper trail bike to get further into the mountains (if I can sell ALL THE THINGS!). At £320 (well 3199 kroner). Should I jump on this and put it back for the build. Or is this a common price. I need a rear hub anyway, so its not a massive investment. But I'd have further burden credit cards to nab it.

What would the forum do?

Eff off. I did two whole hours in the rain today... I'm basically Sean Kelly.

Buy it. That's a very good price. In fact,how many do they have? ;)

That's a very good price.
