Can anybody recommend some decent mid-range rollers?

Thanks!

    It would help to know what your budget is?

    There aren't that many makes/models on the market so it will depend how much you want to spend.

    I've now got rollers at each end of the price spectrum and both serve their purpose. I've always rated Tacx rollers so the new Antares model might be worth checking out.

    I got those minoura ones that are foldable for about 100 quid. Well worth it.

    Cazzalane,

    That’s a pretty generous budget for rollers and gives you wide choice. 8)

    If you want to spend the whole of that amount, the CycleOps rollers with aluminium drums are worth a look.

    If you want to spend a bit less, either the Minoura ones mentioned above (also with aluminium drums which give a better quality ride) or I’ll stick by my Tacx Antares recommendation even though I’ve not tried them yet – was hoping to see some at the Cycle Show yesterday but the importer didn’t have a stand there this year.

    Hope that helps.

    Ooh those Tacx Antares look nice. I'm getting some of those! Early xmas present me thinks!
