Dirty Rollers?

So I have been using my rollers a fair bit recently as I try to get into a routine before work in the mornings.

I have noticed that my wheels are turning a very light grey colour and there is a build up of a grey 'dust' around the rear brake caliper. On closer inspection it looks like the rollers themselves are covered in this dust. I'm guessing that the rollers will generate a lot of static and will therefore attract a lot of particles.

Is this something to worry about or is it just dirt and I need to have a word with my cleaner? At first I thought it might be the tyres degrading but they seem to be in good condition underneath the grey dust.

    i have found because of the far smaller area of presure on the tire when using rollers, a higher psi, say 20 plus is needed.

    Clean your rollers & tires with white vinegar, you should nt be getting dust from your tires and start using a vacum if your house is that bad :)
