Looking for a set of rollers with an electric (and ant+ or bluetooth) resistance unit. Does this exist in nature?
Thanks
Not that I know of… best I’ve ridden is the new drum resistance unit from Sportcrafters. It’s at least a progressive resistance unit as opposed to a multiple setting deal you have to stop and change.

sort of, Inside ride is testing an ergo setup now for the emotion rollers. They were looking to release it sometime in the new year
I am not aware of any such device/rollers. A Kreitler Killer Headwind attachment gives a range of resistance from very easy to extremely hard. David K.
Inside ride emotion rollers will have this exact thing. I think the current release date is sometime in the first quarter of 2015.
The nice thing is if you buy it now, you can always get the new resistance unit and install it when it is released. The unit will work with TrainerRoad, and any cycling app that support BT or ANT+.
Like Trinut says Inside ride will have the Ant - Bluetooth version for use in Erg mode first quarter of 2015.
What they have now is the resistance available with a manual controller - like a car lock opener.
I have found it to work great - especially when riding with a fixed gear (track bike).
I think that this is a fantastic system, and when they get the ant - bluetooth out, it will be state of the art. The
best of both worlds - rollers and resistance control able to operate in an Erg Mode.

I found another, less fugly one, previously but can’t find it today.
If you want, I could sell you the one I built for my last grad class…
not controllable, but progressive resistance…
Tru trainer rollers…super high quality with tremendous road-like feel.
