1. Hit your Caps Lock key! 😉

2. Do you have a resistence unit on your rollers? Whether you do or not, rollers, IMO, are more about technique and any distance you see is not going to be very "comparable". When I train indoors, I use a HRM and go by time vs. heart rate/effort, and not any kind of distance.

The only thing I might use a cyclocomputer for indoors is cadence.

THANKS FOR THE INFO. AS FOR HITTING THE CAPS LOCK KEY I ALWAYS WRITE IN CAPITALS EVEN WHEN I WRITE WITH A PEN
