[MENTION=487649]cawallis188[/MENTION] you have like 15 people on here telling you you'll see some benefits from rollers, you got one guy that's telling you otherwise. Personally, from experience I'm in the first camp.
It amazes me how people don't seem to understand what online forums are for. Hint: discussion.
It's not a holier-than-thou attitude, it's a "not believing every little thing that people throw out there" attitude. It's about questioning and thinking critically about subject matter.
Have you noticed there's not a single answer to the question of how rollers actually help you ride faster? Instead it's just people saying "it makes my pedal stroke smoother" with absolutely no reasoning behind that statement or what it means to real-world riding.
Like I said further up, people do what they want because they want to and don't have to justify anything. But when people start trying to justify it with assertions that don't make sense, what's the point of just saying "okay, sure"?
Again, discussion forum. And look, now you've got your two cents in, as pointless as it was.
