You are correct.

Good fun isn't it? I'm just getting into riding rollers and I manage 150rpm in 50x11 FWIW.

What power are you putting out when you're at 160rpm in 53x11?

daddy0

I managed 159rpm last night. I might die trying to beat 166...

I have no idea, I haven't got a power meter.
But if you do beat 166rpm I'll have to try and beat that and I might die!!!!

Let a couple of bar out of your tyres and then try it

Unreal! I'm fighting to break out of 30mph, I've got a long way to go!

Presumably these are rollers with no resistance?

I do all my indoor training on rollers, but they have some levels of resistance, otherwise it's too easy to spin. Fall off at those kind of speeds on the rollers and you'll be flung in to the wall lol.

There's no resistance on my rollers (tack galaxia) it's just a bit of fun I sometimes throw in to a training session.
