I had Kreitlers and currently have Sportcrafters rollers,and a Kurt Kinetic road trainer.

rollers are for high cadence spin/technique type training,not heavy gear climbing type training. I use rollers to warm up,work on spin and such,but I use the trainer to work on power.

if I had to choose 1,I would choose the trainer because you can just zone out,work on big gears,watch TV,listen to music,drink and eat.

Rollers require intense concentracion and riding off of them is not much fun.I've done that a few times and can't recommend it.

Hi Dan,

What I need to work on is Power. A steep hill kicks my butt right now. I thought about the Kreitler Rollers because I can put a fork stand on it and use the fan accessory which is suppose to increase the resistance.

I have also looked at Kurt Kinetic machines. They make two types that I am also considering. One is the Road Machine and the other is the Pro. The Pro has the option of having up to an 18 lb flywheel. The Road Machine has a 6 lb flywheel. I am not sure if that option is worth another $100 or not. Is suppose to improve the ride quality and is better for long rides.

Thanks for responding,

Bruce
