Feel the smooth precision of the lathe-turned-aluminum drums on CycleOps’ Aluminum Rollers with Resistance. Five levels of resistance allow you to knock out hard efforts and the durable steel frame stands up to years of hard training, indoors or out. Plus, the folding design allows convenient storage and transport. The rollers feature an adjustable belt for right and left dismounting, an easily-adjusted wheelbase and a limited lifetime warranty.
I purchased these rollers back in late 2007 as a dare from one of my training partners. And let me tell you, I live by these rollers. I not only use them in the winter, I use them all year round with my fixed gear bike. Talk about a workout... and with the adjustable resistance, it makes aerobic development, tempo development and muscular endurance workouts all worth it. Let me prove it to you... [@] So if you are on the fence on whether or not to purchase at set of these rollers..You would be wrong if you chose not to... Keep or toss!

Comments:
My husband and I purchased CycleOps Aluminum Rollers with Resistance two years ago and have improved our cycling by using them through long Idaho winters. After the scary first 20 minutes figuring them out, they have helped us improve pedal stroke and handling skills. They are anything but boring as it's a mentally active workout maintaining position on the rollers, but not so consuming an effort that we can't use the remote control to watch the news, sports, or a movie. The handling skills I learned on the rollers saved me from crashing in slippery conditions during the summer. The resistance feature is great. It allows for variation in difficulty, almost like riding up hills.

Rollers, in general, are a great way to lay down those early season base miles when the weather does not want to corporate. There is no better way to perfect both balance and pedal stroke, both useful skills to have come "go time" in the sprig.
The CycleOps rollers have proven to to be very easy to set-up and very durable. They have outlasted my sanity after spending too many bleak winter days pedaling along the fast road to nowhere.
Go Pro. Go rollers. Go CycleOps.
