i ride rollers with gp4000s, no probs. they seem a tad louder than duranos though. And no additional wear than normal.

Now I am confused, except for the fact that my tyres are an old set of Michelin Pro 3's which are pretty worn anyway.
Just wondering if a set of roller tyres would mean I could get back into the hotseat again and take the T bar off....hmmm.

Still, even with the T bar tons better than my old turbo trainer which was a torture device from hell.

You're missing out on the advantages of rollers. Ditch the fork stand, it will come with practice. A door frame is your friend!

No, dont think so - you just need to keep at it. Start in a doorway if you can so you can lean left or right if/when you need to. I did this a couple of times and now only need something to lean on one side. You also need to start in a decent gear, wheel speed and decent cadence are your friends and will help you stay up.

Once you get past the fear and realise all you need are tiny movements of your hips to correct, you will get it. It finding a balance between complacency and terror!

Just keep at it, even 15 mins at a time regularly, say twice a day and you will get it - ont be put off.

Good luck!
