roller use
Quote | Reply
I have been using rollers for a few weeks now. I have picked up use with relative ease and can get an hour or so in before my abs are on fire (love that feeling). Anyway, I have found that while I stay on the rollers my rear wheel fishtails maybe 3 inches off center to each side; meanwhile the front wheel stays within an inch of center the entire ride. This fishtail happens at all times of the ride. Has this happened to anyone else? What was the cause? What was the fix?

Thanks

Three inches might be a bit big but the fishtail is very very normal on rollers. It actually more accurately mimics what your rear wheel would do in the real world.

Rollers are a great training tool. Keep it up.

I love my rollers. I did a 3 hour ride on them Saturday mornings before anyone else got up. I don't get bored on rollers like I do with a normal trainer

Curious, is the center of your front hub slightly behind the axle of the front roller? I'm wondering if your rollers might be set up slightly "off." David K
