Hi...Just purchased the Elite Quick Motion rollers. Love them for the compact fold up capability...but....

Just want to check my expectations against actual experience. On the minimum resistance setting I imagined the ride to be similar to riding on the flat or closer to a spin but I still seem to have a strong level of resistance. It's like going up a hill so after a short while you're getting fatigued with no respite in sight. Is this normal?

Thanks
