  • Anyone used the Elite Arion Mag Rollers? Someone's selling some locally, look interesting. Never tried a turbo before, but I didn't mind using 'dumb' rollers when I had them. This looks to be the best of both world, but I imagine the resistance they can provide is limited?

    Depends on what training plan you are following.

    I'm doing all my Trainer Road sessions on rollers at the moment and, with a 11-23 cassette and a 50 tooth front chainring, and I've not run out of gears yet and that includes some vo2 max sessions.

  • Bought a set second hand (almost unused) about 4 months ago - best £100 I've spent in ages.
    I haven't used anything else (smart / modern), so can't comment on the resistance limitations and been doing hour long steady state sessions so hasn't been a concern (I'm pretty much done in after an hour @23mph on the middle resistance setting). I did wonder about setting up some sort of bowden cable arrangement so the resistance setting could be changed without dismounting but not felt the need really.
