Excellent for training proper  RossF, Wellington CBD
Helps you to get your balance , and leg pressures right, soon find out if you push to much on one leg :) Didn't realise how much I wobbled on the road might save a few kms now.
Tried the door method first but gave up on that.
Found it easier to start by placing the roller about 600 out from the work bench, with one hand or fingers on the work bench and the other hand on the handle bar,start pedalling , once you get balance and speed right then you can get both hands on the bar and you won't want to stop.
Easier to set up and adjust.

great value, great product  MatthewMcDonald, New Plymouth
These are the only rollers I've used, but are fun and would easily recommend over the standard fixed rear wheel trainers. good quality build, and well worth the purchase when on special.

excellent value and quality  TroyFischer, Wasleys
I bought the roller as an alterative to riding in the cold, dark (and wet) during winter before and after work. They are excellent - I'd say twice as intense as road riding hence a very time efficient workout. Take a bit of getting used to, suggest starting out in a door way so you have something to lean on if need be. Highly recommend these - quality product. Got them during the weekly special so an absolute bargain too! Thanks T7

average rollers  stephenbrunskill, Dinsdale
Cheap reasonably robust but the bearings on mine wore out very quickily and now are significantly harder to ride than another brand I've tried. Also quite heavy in comparison.

Very Good, bring back the special !  IanG, The Gap
I have two sets of rollers, these and a Tacx set (blue rollers). These provide much greater resistance and are much more sturdy. The Tacx are lighter and can be packed for aircraft better and are lighter so we use them for going away to competitions.

I use these for a more solid workout as the resistance is better, in 53 x11 you are struggling to push them so you can ramp it up or down with your gears.

I prefer these to my mag trainers as you have to concentrate more.

Cheap price, not cheap and nasty  GardSaxon, Blackstone Heights
Great price, great quality. Bit tricky at first, and a much more intense workout than road riding. Been pedalling along with the Tour of Britain all week and loving it.

Absolutely Fantastic!  EmyH, Melbourne
Really, really great pair of CHEAP rollers. They are an absolute steal, especially at the sale price, but they are also excellent quality. I have had mine for at least 6 months now and use them very regularly (at least twice a week for up to 2 hrs each time). They are essential for any track rider are they are less horrendous for your tyres than wind trainers and you don't have to worry about a narrower rear axle (my track bike doesn't fit in my wind trainer). And you can really get the rev's up on these.
The rollers are also fully adjustable so you can fit any bike on them with just a 15mm spanner or shifter. Drive cable seems to be in exactly the same condition as the day I bought it, despite living in the Aussie sun and being regularly stretched to be wrapped up for travel.
My only 'concern', if you can call it that, is that they are quite awkward to carry - eg. to and from Track, and I have gouged my ankle with the little feet many times. Just be careful when you carry them.

A1 Product, one of my best Investments  SamClark, Te Teko
I've had my Torpedo7 roller for over a year now and I must admit it is one of the most valuable pieces of kit in my training arsenal.

They are fantastic for preparing for the summer club season, after a few roller sessions you'll find you won't be wandering all over the road. Not to mention the increase in overall leg speed and acceleration.

These rolllers have fantastic build Quality, when I first purchased it I was Sceptical as to how long the Drive Chord would last, but after near Daily use for over a year now I am Thoroughly Impressed.
Thanks Torpedo 7

Great product  GAdams, Wanganui
Great product, great service. As with others, took about ten minutes to get use to them then had excellent workout on horrible rainy day in the comfort of the hall (keep wall close to start with). Quality build with smooth running alloy rollers - awesome. Couldn't build these myself for this price, even when not on special

Great rollers even better when 'free motion'  EleanorO, Waihi
Great quality rollers. I've made mine even more versatile by turning them into 'Free Motion Rollers'. This enables you to stnd out of the saddle much easier. Search you tube for hints on DIY free motion rollers.

Rollers are great, but be careful  PhilWebster, GREENSLOPES
Great piece of kit, quality aluminium, once set up, runs nicely. Set up in hallway so you got something to hang onto.

Impressed  DaveHughes, Glendowie
Bought the trainer last Friday morning - turned up that afternoon! Never used one before so it took 10 minues to get balanced and stop falling off. Had a great workout watching Tour de France! Totally recommend!

Awesome Product  SteveConnor, Buninyong
Spent an hour on these rollers over the weekend, great for interval training and is said to improve balance and control when you go onto the road for real. Can't fault them athough a little challenging to begin with, but doesn't take long to get used to them.

Excellent set of Rollers!  SashaUnverricht, Terrace End
Quality aluminium rollers, nice smooth sealed bearings and also reasonably quiet too. Purchased these on special, saved a bundle, and am very happy with this unit, which in all honesty are as good as those you might pay 4 times as much for. Recommended. Very fast postage too!
