As I said I ride rollers, definitely better than a trainer, so go for rollers, but go for aluminum drums. I ride plastic and it feels like crap, aluminum might be a little more expensive but I think it would be worth it.

Also, don't worry about falling off, the idea of parabolic rollers scares me because i think it would be better to just fall off then have your wheels sent off in the opposite direction you are heading, you might fall of and thats that, you should always ride next to a wall so you can lean on it if you feel you are going too far either way.

And that foot platform is too far back, useless. My rollers don't have a platform and it would be nice, but not necessary. Getting on the bike isn't easy and a platform wouldn't help.

I feel like I told you a lot and it may be hard to understand, feel free to ask questions, you might even want to start a thread on just rollers, there is just so much to say.
