My father purchased Weyless Training Indoor Rollers more than 10 years ago. He is now deceased and I am trying to sell it. Can you provide some estimate of what price range I might sell it? I have no idea what he paid for it. My research on the web tells me this was considered a top of the line product and is no longer being manufactured. The rollers were hardly used and are in perfect condition. Any help you can provide with pricing is much appreciated. I am not trying to use this board to sell it, as I understand that is not the purpose of the board. I would just like the pricing information. Thanks a lot. Kate

From: Nausea, New Hamster

Bikes: (see https://wildavis.smugmug.com/Bikes) Bianchi Veloce (2005), Nishiki Cascade (1992), Schwinn Super Sport (1983)

They look similar to a set which I bought about 15 years ago. Mine have a rubber belt which goes between the front and the middle roller. This belt will perish over a period of time, especially if they're not been used. I bought a spare for mine - from your pic, I can't see a belt - a quick visit to "google" shows that those rollers (or something similar) are still available. BikeNashbar have them, SuperGo have them - various prices.

Hope this helps -

- Wil

Wil, Thanks for your reply. Do you have any estimate of what you paid when you bought yours 15 years ago?

I did see the other rollers that you mentioned, but I had no idea how the quality and price might compare to the Weyless, which was described as "top of the line".

It's very valuable to know that replacement belts are available, that is much appreciated.

Have a great day!

Kate

Weyless designing the future was the slogan. The rollers are good, suffer from limited wheelbase adjustability and not easy to store. The marketing name has been reborn. not easy to ship as the rails add up in size for the dimension/weight max. quickly. Best price phishing would be on ebay probably. the drive belt awol is a possible problem as modern rollers have various diameter drums.

There was an original option for sidecar foot rests to ease starting to ride...
