Re: Nashbar Reduced Radius Rollers

thanks travis, random question about the roller itself. Is it safe to ride out of the saddle if it’s a fixed roller, like it doesn’t move back and forth.

Re: Nashbar Reduced Radius Rollers

travis,

thanks for the reply, i will try this out! i got the rollers and there are 3 rolls. on front for front wheel to sit on. and 2 in the back for rear wheel. there is a black rubber band that wraps around front and middle rolls, like a pulley action. will i have issues if its like that?

Re: Nashbar Reduced Radius Rollers

thanks, but thats too bad...i'll have to find a way to ask them then...thank you.

the speed that can be manually chosen has nothing to do with user speed on bike...it only relates to the rollers right?

Nashbar Reduced Radius Rollers

Re: training for climbs

when reading a ride file of a cal ride, the wind offset is on target, is it accurate and safe to use that "extract from ride file" for my profile?

Re: training for climbs

basically what is best is to get my wind cal down right? THEN i can do my ftp? so after doing a ride cal on a 'calm' day i should see my file with wheel speed and wind speed with little to no offset right? if it appears incorrect, that means when i did a wind cal i screwed something up? the only way...

Re: training for climbs

so the most logical thing to do is

1. change to new battery
2. do tilt
3. do wind cal
4. do ftp
5. maybe do a cal ride?

then i should be good?
