Avivino,
You need to be patient my good man (or woman),
these things take time!
anyhow, back to your question.
My experience is that the smaller diameter will
give more "resistance" without the mag/fluid unit.
Yes the feel will be similiar, but my experience is that
you will ramp up the speed quicker without the resistance
units.
I believe that Kreitler explains it better on their
web site (haven't been there for a while).
it is
Kreitler Rollers
hope this helps,
Marty
