I recieved my new Kreitler rollers today. I purchased the Dyno-Myte with 2.25 diameter rollers. Set up is a snap. All that is needed is a 5/8" box wrench. I still need to fudge them to get the rails square when the rear rollers are tightened (about a 1/4' out). Just need another hand to help. Over all the quality is solid.
I lined them up in a suitable doorway clipped in and away I went. I went this way and I went that way. Just picture a drunken Sailor and that was me on the bike. What an eye opener to the meaning of balance and form. I was able to maintain a steady 16 mph for about 5 minutes at a time while bouncing my elbows off the door jamb here and there. The slightest input on the bars will start you weaving. Lesson learned here, strengthen your core. I'm excited about the prospect of becoming a smoother rider because of them. I also have a Kurt Kinetic fluid trainer but I don't see that getting too much use now that I have been challenged by the rollers. I did buy the optional "Killer Headwind" fan but won't even attempt to put that on until I can hold my line. Bottom line, if I progress the way I think I can than it is money well spent.
