Ditched the turbo and moving onto a set of rollers, but which ones out of these? £150 is my max. price so Kreitlers are out.
Tacx Antares
Minoura Roller Advance
Elite Ghibli Parabolic
Thanks in advance

    What ever you do buy ones with metal drums and not plastic as the plastic ones deform slightly after a short while (when they heat up).

    I have Cycleops ones and they rock!

    I love riding mine, much more fun than a turbo.
    Obsessed is a word used by the lazy to describe the dedicated!

    +1 for the CycleOps...

    I've seen a resistance unit for these
    http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/produ ... um_Rollers

    Is it any use?

    Figure I'll get used to riding them first before I worry about power

    Also, if you get this and the fork stand can I effectively do away with a turbo trainer?
    Space is a bit of an issue at home
