Low resistance on Elite Trainer

[fergie]

Got a Elite Volare Mag Trainer with elastogel roller and find even with the resistance cranked up I spin out at 400watts. Is this common??? Is there some way of increasing the resistance?

Get a wad of dog hair on the shaft between the frame and roller:rolleyes: . But seriously, I had a similar problem with an older set of Nashbar rollers. I just added a second resistance unit and immediately felt a difference. I was only able to do this fairly easily as these rollers were made where you could mount your mag unit on either the right or left side. I haven't seen any like this recently so I don't know if they still make any like this anymore.
