    This week it's back to good old fashioned Learn Quick. I've always had an issue training for road cycling but rollers seemed to be right up my street. The allow the bike to move and do not require fixing the bike to train. However, they can be a little difficult to learn to mount and ride. Watch me struggle.

      First of all, the front wheel is sitting lower than it would on the road - so I'm kind of leaned forward
      And also, the bike is fixed."

      I feel like this mechanism could drive a fan, requiring no external power. Another advantage is the fan, once it has spun up would act as a very short flywheel, maintaining momentum on the rollers a little.

      They kept sliding back when he attempts to mount. Having it on a non slippery surface next to a wall and with a small step makes mounting the rollers 100% easier and faster. I never used one in my life but mounted it first try with these tips.

      It's not that dangerous, he just have to spend X weeks to relearn doing the reverse-bike, then he can do it easily on the first try.
      It's the fact that it takes X weeks to relearn the reverse-bike, then *another* X weeks to relearn a normal bike that pretty much ensures that he won't bother with any reverse-bike challenges at all; just way too time consuming. If he could learn riding both types interchangeably maybe, but who knows how long it would take to learn those type of reflexes

    The big breakthrough for me after struggling for a year was to move the axle of the front roller forward slightly beyond the front axle of the front wheel of the bike. I could then ride the rollers immediately. I still have to hold on to an adjacent wall to get started and to dismount, but other than that riding for 20 min. is no problem. Need to use a gear about two above my lowest gear to get the wheels spinning gyroscopically. About 13-14 mph.

Next season, try starting in a doorway, narrow hallway, or at least against one wall. experienced riders can start in the middle of the room, but beginners should start with some structure to hold onto as they wind up the wheels. track racers swear by rollers and that they help with the high cadence balancing skills that they need on the track.

  • @FerousFolly
    @FerousFolly 4 ปีที่แล้ว +425

    For anyone watching to learn themselves who is confused as to WHY it kept rolling off:
    Whenever Mike put most of his weight on the handlebars the force on the front wheel to come off the roller became greater than the minimum force needed to push the rear wheel over the rearmost roller.
    i.e. the downward force on the front wheel pushed the back wheel off the last roller.
    Tl;dr: If you're trying this at home, don't lean on the handlebars before you've mounted at least one pedal.

    1-do not do this on a thick carpet
    2-use a wall, doorway or counter to lean against when learning how they work, I know of no one who rides rollers in the middle of a room
    3-the front wheel should be centered over the front roller or at the most 1cm behind the front roller center
    4-I believe those rollers have some free float to them so they are a bit easier to learn and ride
    5-rollers are great for smoothing out your pedaling, if you pedal in squares or have a mashing style the rollers will soon sort that out because you wont be able to ride them. Rollers also teach you to have a light touch on the handlebars and to let the bike steer rather than the riders having a death grip on the bars.
    6-most people who try to learn how to ride rollers generally get advise, asking a friend or doing a search and learn in a few minutes. it really is much easier than this video makes it seem.

    Let me give a piece of advice for any out there wanting to give this a try. There is a much easier way to learn how to ride rollers, first, obtain a small step stool that is about 10 or 12 inches high. Next, put your rollers in between a doorway. This allows you to stand on the step stool and mount the bike, the doorway will allow you to remain vertical and inline as you put one foot into the pedal and begin to pedal, don't worry about clicking in with the other pedal at this point. The primary rule in riding rollers is no sudden swings with the handlebars, they must be dead straight ahead, if you feel you are drifting to one side or the other, a shift in your weight to the opposite side will correct that drift, the handlebars can stay straight.You will soon learn these shifts of weight are quite minute, the main goal is to get to the point of being able to fine tune your cycling technique so as to eliminate any extraneous movement, to be as efficient as possible. I always had my rollers about a foot from a wall to provide security, you could always lean against it in an emergency and I always had my footstool to make mounting a breeze. When you become proficient on rollers there is no better tool to refine your stroke, intervals are the key! One minute on and two minutes off, gradually working up to max effort with a series of cool down intervals. If you can maintain max effort for 1 minute while maintaining form that the rollers demand you will indeed get better, seeing the speedometer hit the mid 40s mph (52-13 gears at that time) for one minute and just trying to maintain the form necessary is indeed a challenge that you will be proud of!

      It seems to me like having a target centered in front of you starting out would help tremendously. When I first learned to ride a bike, my parents said, "if you look down, you fall down." So I looked where I was going, not at my feet or the ground I was on.
      That's just my 2 cents on riding a bike. Look straight ahead.

      You seem to be quite experienced, so quick (dumb) question for you. Are rollers supposed to carry next to no momentum? Just got some...when I stop pedalling, the wheels stop spinning fairly quickly. i.e. I can't coast at all.

    Im a professional cyclist and i personally use the rollers when weather is not the best, so i can keep in track. If you wanna get started with them you should place yourself next to a wall, climb the bike and start from there, once you feel a litte more confident you can even do it without hands.

    I have trained many hours on rollers. The trick is to ride in a doorway so that your elbows can bump the door jamb on either side to keep you positioned towards the center of the rollers - and to use a low stool alongside the rollers to aid in starting and stopping. I also positioned a fan in front for cooling.

    The complaint about the front wheel being too low when using the turbo trainer is rectified by having the proper apparatus that goes under the front wheel.
    I've used both. I utilize the turbo style in the house in front of the TV and the rollers somewhere were an accidential launch wouldn't damage anything.
    1st, best to start near a wall until you get the balance down. 2nd don't look down look straight ahead. 3rd get a fan.
    I think his main issue, besides looking down and not having something to lean on at first, was that when he gets on the pedals he always back pedals first instead of aserting forward pressure only.
