Bike Rollers

With winter snow around the corner I'm considering buying some bike rollers. Any recommendations on what to look out for? Looks like bike Nashbar has some on sale for around $140.

I've had a cheaper set (can't remember the brand) that I wasn't impressed with. Spin up/wind down was nonexistent & the drums and frame were junk. \nI picked up a Kreitler Challenger 4.5 up on ebay maybe 4 years ago. Added 2 of their heavy drums on the back. Man it feels great! Larger, metal drums, smooth bearings, and the weights make the whole thing spin up & coast just like being on the road.

The Nashbar one has a 4.5 star rating. Retail is $200, I don't know enough about them to know if that's considered cheap or not.

Or you could go this route :-)

Walt,

I got the cheaper of the Nashbar rollers last winter, and I have been perfectly happy with them.  They are well built, quiet, and have really helped me develop a better pedal stroke and cadence.  I will be using them again this winter, but without the usual snow, I'm still riding outside

Rocthrower, \nI pulled the trigger Sunday and it was here Wednesday. I used it once and worked great. At least it will once my balance improves!
