Again, nothing crossing over to the road, though, which makes sense. None of the skills necessary for navigating corners, adjusting lines, negotiating close-quarters contact, etc., are replicated on rollers. Pedaling, as I said, is a non-sequitor to begin with.

Edited to add: I used to be a big believer in the "pedaling circles/smoothness" stuff. Even had a pair of powercranks for a winter! Then I finally started using actual data instead of anecdotal tales. Saved me a lot of time.
