Rollers to fit 24" wheel bike?

othello

I'm on the look out for a set of rollers to fit a 24" wheel bike. Most that have adjustment don't seem to come in small enough. I sat his bike on a pair of tacx rollers (new blue drum ones) and they come in *just* enough, but then the rubber band is too loose to use.

Anyone have any tips or recommendations?

kids in our club use red elite or older style blue tacx rollers with great success. Mostly islabike 24 inch or mtbs.

There could be a newer tacx model that is longer

We have a set of Tacx Antares and both my children ride on them.

My little girl has a 20" wheeled Hotrock and I set the rollers to the
smallest setting and they work fine......but hell them MTB tyres
make some noise.

Great, but when I tried a set of Tacx Antares couldn't get them down that small! The rubber tension band just flopped around.

I'm trying to get an Islabike Luath 24 and a Islabike Reiss 24 (track bike) to work on there.

Morning Othello,

I carn't understand that, I have no problem at all. It's a pain to keep adjusting them as
every time I get on them the kids are after a go. Do you think they could be suppling
different size bands ?

They were a fairly new set that someone in the kids club had. I know you can set the pin underneath, and maybe it was to do with that. I'll try again!

I've just got my own set)second hand off a friend) and tried setting it up with my son's 24" wheel Islabike Reis track bike.

I have the rear wheel on the two rear rollers and the front axle in line with the centre of the front roller. At that position the band is too slack (REALLY too slack and won't even stay on) if run from the front roller to the first of the rear ones.

I've tried running the band from the front to the rear roller, which does work. However the band is stretched VERY tight and wants to pull the front roller in all the time (the grey levers cannot hold the arms in place against the tension).

No idea aha I'm doing wrong!
