With winter coming on, I've developed a hankering for a Computrainer-type setup (I'm trying to get my grubby little hands on a Tacx Fortius, but so far...no luck) and a set of rollers.

I was originally considering a set of Kreitlers, natch, although I did see a set of those enormous Elite poly parabolic rollers (the drums must be 6"! And they're RED! Finally, a reason to say "Redrum"!) set up in a nearby LBS and they looked cool, comfortable and fun to ride (didn't get to try them though.)

But since these will be my FIRST set of rollers ever, I ended up going with something new: InsideRide.com's e-Motion rollers.

I bought them because I'd read a lot about the rigors of getting used to fixed rollers, and these seemed to offer a more "natural" and perhaps safer ride. Plus I'm a sucker for anything "new and improved," especially if it's expensive which, at $600, these are (but they take PayPal so I was able to pay for them with my eBay balance! A totally cashless x-action! Cowabunga!)

Anyway, they're on the way here even as we speak. I'll post more (with pics) when I get them set up, in case anyone else is considering them.

Does anyone ride them now?
