POLL Trainers or Rollers

1. Rollers.
2. Further trains your balance. Can add more resistance if desired with a fan. Fun. :p
3. I added a wooden block (basically a step) to the right of mine so I could clip out and have my foot hit what is pretty much road level.
4. Maybe. There are times its nice to have a fixed position trainer.

1. I use both, but use a trainer more because it connects to my computer and offers infinitely more training options.
2. Rollers for balance and fluid motion training, trainers see # 1.
3. Better and more reliable computer software for training interface.
4. No.

I'll have to try trainers again sometime. The last time I tried them, it was a good way to maim myself.

1 - Trainer

2 - At this point in time I benefit more from the ability to do hardcore interval work indoors during the winter. My technique is far from perfect I am sure, so I would no doubt benefit from working on rollers, but training time for me is limited at this time and so it's interval work for me.

3 - I treated myself to a really nice trainer so at this point I have no complaints.

1) Rollers
2) They just feel a lot more natural. I had to ride on a trainer for a little while after breaking a collar bone in a crash, and hated every minute of it.
3) I have flat rollers, and the parbolic kind look a bit safer.
