No something like http://snow.prohosting.com/~rfcycle/images/bugrolls3.jpg
It had no idea they had those for wheelchairs too, it seems logical though.

You obviously haven't got any, since you don't know what they are!!!
They aren't for doing you hair with either!
I am being deliberately vague.

Well that will get you loads of offers then, I expect.(not) Do you have a
problem in asking for exactly what you want and perhaps giving more detail?

Basically these are a set of "rollers" which you can put a wheelchair or cycle onto, and train
static in the comfort of your home when the weather is too cold, wet, snowy, dark etc.
A sort of crude treadmill for wheelchair racers (but the same rollers are used by cyclists as well).
Sorry but it isn't an easy item too explain and if you have a set of rollers then i would suggest
thats as much detail as you need?? No offence intended.
I am thinking of buying a set but thought it would be worth looking 2ndhand before laying out the
money. They are the sort of item that people buy and then get sick of using or move on to other
sports and disregard.
The following link may or may not help. (TACX1025 ecotrack)

Not very exciting!!! Certainly not as exciting as funny *** rollers!

OK.. hands up those of you who thought that this is what Paul wanted!!!! No one????? Mmmm wonder
why? Nice explanation Paul and I see what you need now...... Never heard of them of course... but
one never knows. Would an ordinary treadmill work? or are they specifically for wheelie bins? Would
an engineer be able to build one for less than the cost of a new one? Dave (We do have some pretty
inventive folk here you know) Dave

For second hand cycling rollers your best bet is probably the Veloriders forum. The buying and
selling board is at
http://www.veloriders.co.uk/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=3
Most roadies now use turbo trainers, but a lot of trackies still use rollers for warming up at the
velodrome.

Um, I guessed that was what he was talking about, but then I did run across them at wiggle once,
and the thought of them coupled with my scary bike handling skills (they're pretty non-existant)
led to vision of wobbling off, ploughing through nearest window and hitting ground hard (I live on
the first floor).... so the word 'rollers' coupled with 'cyclist' is guaranteed to recall said

At the moment that you wobble off you have no forward momentum, and just rotating wheels won't give
you any speed to speak of. You will only fall sideways. Believe me

Simple question..... Wouldn't those rollers from the end of a conveyor belt work with a wheelchair?
I wonder if a cycle one would be wide enough. Just a thought. Dave

Conveyor belt - Probably would work but might be beyond my limited technical ability! I had a go on
a wheelchair treadmill once which wasn't disimilar. Looked like something from a sawmill.
A tread mill might work but isn't going to be wide enough.
Cycle rollers aren't gonna be wide enough but a pair of them bolted together might work. I can cope
with that. (Wheelchair specific rollers start at £300). Cycle rollers are £50, so 2 would cost me
£100. THEN bolt them together. THEN something to clamp the chair........
It might ne easier to buy some warm clothing and brave the weather!!!!

Russ, Got a bike yet?? Gonna come racing??
I have a turbo trainer already - bike is set up as we speak. But also fancied rollers for the racing
