Regardless if this roller was on carpet or hard floor, the rolling resistance was difficult. The bolts were torqued correctly, band installed correctly and when you rolled the roller with your hands it was fine.
The issue is when you apply your weight and get on your bike. This is suppose to simulate road feel and help you with your balance. Idk if it’s because it’s made out of plastic vs metal but the rolling was not smooth and made me fall off. I could go for 15 minute stints but then the roller would become difficult or seize. I have no idea if it was just my rollers but I returned them.
I did have to wait an additional week to get them delivered due to the snow which is understandable.

Great value, quiet, easy to put together, heavy duty, not easy to cart around. We have another one of a disband and are able to use that one much easier then this one. But with some practice ot might get easier.

Really a great way of indoor riding. Took about 10 tries to really get the balance right. And that was actually a fun challenge. All I can say is I really love these. When you assemble them go on YouTube and check out the videos that cover that. Also check out the vids about learning how to ride the rollers. It really is like learning how to ride again. After I had been riding on the rollers for a while, took my bike out on the rail trail and it was amazing how much better my balance and handling of the bike was! Just an all around positive experience. Going to get the Tacx Galaxia next, supposed to be even better.

Lieferung erfolgte schnell und gut.
Die Rolle lässt sich relativ leicht zusammenbauen, wegen der Einstellung der Entfernung von der vordersten zur mittleren Rolle habe ich kurz mal googlen müssen.
Ich empfinde die Rolle als nicht zu laut.
Wegen der Nutung:
Ich bin blutiger Anfänger und hatte mein Rennrad gerade erst einen Monat als ich die Rolle erhalten habe. Habe die Rolle neben einer Wand aufgebaut und mich auf’s Rad gesetzt. Die ersten Versuche waren auch sehr wackelig. Da ging das auch schon stark auf die Unterarme. Aber nach ca. ner halben Stunde war es schon weniger wackelig. Nach zwei Monaten geht es, meines Erachtens, schon ganz gut. Bin bisher nur drei- viermal unfreiwillig abgestiegen, aber nie gestürzt. Konzentrieren muss ich mich schon noch, insbesondere bei “längeren” fahrten. Bediene aber während des Trainings auch noch meine Uhr. Werde demnächst mal versuchen dabei zu trinken.
Klare Kaufempfehlung.

Good overall product. Not super easy to learn how to use but not too bad once you get the hang of it. Just have a wall nearby to stablize yourself if you need it. Once you figure out what the proper length is for your bike, it locks into that length every time.
I will comment that I live in an apartment and I worry about how annoying I am with these. I have a smooth center strip on my tires and the rollers still seem kinda loud. I purchased some vibration absorbing pads to put underneath to reduce noise transmission through the floor. Just be aware of that. Also even though this will not wear your tires as fast as a resistance trainer it will still wear your tires. After riding for even a few minutes the tires are pretty warm to the touch and I can see some of the rubber on the rollers. This is again normal for rollers from what I have seen.

I have only been training on these rollers for a month but I find them up to my expectations. There just the bare bones rollers, nothing fancy. There fairly quiet and very smooth. I would have liked to have received a spare drive band with the rollers so if you break the first band you can continue your training with the second without any interruption . This would enable you to order another spare without loosing time.

Word to the wise, this product is excellent but you need to know what you’re buying. I was an amateur cyclist once upon a time and decided to go from a stationary bike trainer to this to up my game and train to have better balance. This product and those like it needs a little bit of training and especially focus once you are already going because it is like riding out in the street, only instead you’re doing it at home in your living room. If you don’t stay focused and you go off of the rollers you can actually really hurt yourself.
I wanted to give this product 5 stars because I like the color, I like the brand (I have bought many of their products) and I like to train with rollers. The issue is that the rollers themselves start to wear very quickly and I even had one of mine crack, which I rode on quite a bit before it happened but it still shouldn’t have cracked in my opinion. Other than that, the installation isn’t the easiest but the manual does do a pretty good job of walking you through it.
I would recommend this product to those looking to by a rollers type of trainer but just keep in mind that you need to practice before you master riding this way and I highly recommend focus at all times.

sono i classici rulli liberi parabolici, molto più facili da utilizzare rispetto a quelli con cilindro piatto, i rulli sono infatti più stretti nel centro e più larghi nei bordi per aiutare il ciclista a rimanere sempre nel centro evitando che le ruote possano finire fuori dall’attrezzo causando rovinose cadute. Sono abbastanza silenziosi ma non del tutto privi da rumore ( ad alti rpm sono simili alla centrifuga della lavatrice). Facili da montare e abbastanza comodi da utilizzare, mi sono trovato molto bene.

Arrived in a box that has clearly been opened before… used product. Missing all its screws and only had washers and band. Unable to assemble… Delivery was late (although that is a separate Amazon Prime problem). Returned unusable/ unable to assemble product the next day. Reordered replacement of same product. Will update review… maybe was just a defective product… if they send me another used product, I’m guessing its a supply thing and they’re trying to pass this stuff off as new… Will have to try a different roller…
Update: Got second replacement order. All parts present this time (including screws). Assembled just fine. Looks new. Has some grease on the rollers which is interesting but I’m assuming during the manufacturing process, wiped off. Not sure if I’m sized correctly but initial attempt there is enough resistance to cycle. Worried more about riding forward off the tacx then falling sideways but that may be a sizing issue. Overall feels good. Slightly louder than I was expecting. Will update with results.
Update 2:
Sized correctly works fine. My large trek bike is at the upper limit on button 1 but it works great. Higher resistance than i expected. Much louder than I expected. Wondering if aluminum would be quieter but the roller works just fine. Seems sturdy enough. Able to get a good workout. Don’t have anything else to compare to though. Not convinced the parabolic roller shape is the best but the thing works just fine for me. So updating to 5 stars.
