Well we're experiencing at least our third consecutive winter of highly erratic weather where I can't count on being able to snow ride often enough. Time for some indoor miles but can't decide whether to go rollers or trainer. Both have there good points but it's been quite a while since I used either. Years ago I had a cheaper magnetic resistance trainer and have used rollers that belonged to a friend.
Option 1: Kreitler rollers with or without the head wind resistance unit. A co-worker has this setup (with head wind) and seems to like it quite a bit. I've not had the chance to try her setup since she's not had it for too long. Rollers seem to give a quicker workout from my limited experience with them and help with form.
Option 2: Kinetic trainer with the road or pro resistance units. This was touched upon in a recent thread regarding higher resistance workouts and what I've read about them since sounds good to me.
Cost ends up about the same so that's not a factor. I have plenty of room to leave either set up all the time and I'll be using my road bike on either exclusively. No need to use the mountain bike on either one.
Thoughts?
