Hi!
I picked up a pair of rollers a few days ago - I am completely hooked and after a few (okay a lot) of crashes into the hallway walls the first day I am feeling better and able to stay on consistenly for an hour to get my 'fix' in since it's been raining here on/off for two weeks :-(
The rollers are used (he swore less than 20 uses) and tonight I was doing intervals and keeping it at about 55-60km/hr for 8mins at a time. In my last interval I heard a squeak-pop-grind and suddenly things got stiff.... and very noisy... and I'm pretty sure I blew the bearing in the front roller....
I pulled off the band that connects and front/rear rollers and have spun them individually, they rear two spin pretty well and keep going when I let go, the front..? not so much...
So to my question - did I burn it out by running it fast or is this a typical speed when reaching for that 90% HR.. ? I searched first and couldn't find reference to speeds people train at on these things.
So do I go and hit the guy who sold me these over the head with them? Or try and find a replacement roller? I am addicted now, so I can only last a few days without one Anyone?
