lower your saddle.

Thank you, appreciated. I've been stretching pretty much every day since I had some knee bursitis issues in my mid-60's. These stretches: http://www.bikeforums.net/road-cycli...l#post15372967
Only takes a few minutes and seems to be enough.

I thought that as well. Especially if spinning high rpms on a fixed gear.

I'm dismayed that this thread ended over 3 years ago. But I may as well throw in my 2 cents.

I got a set of rollers over 30 years ago ($120 at the LBS). I spent time on them, but never really seriously. They're some no-name brand made in Japan (back then that was like Made in China). They have 4.5" diameter rollers as opposed to what came later and are still sold now, with tiny 2.5" rollers, for more resistance and to cut cost. When I wanted to add resistance I fabricated something from a double ended electric motor with a fan on each end I picked up at a surplus store. It was clamped to and hinged from the seat post and the armature ran on the rear tire, held down with a bungee cord. I had to tape off half the area of the fan rotors to lower the resistance.

Most people who try rollers give up because they're too twitchy and they can't stay on long enough. But I've seen people who can ride no hands and change their jersey while doing it. I did a couple of things to make it easier for me. First, I taped a row of toothpicks to each end of the front roller as rumble strips to warn me if I was watching TV. Second, and this is my own invention and I should have patented it, I fabricated a smaller diameter pulley that bolts on to the drive roller so that the front roller turned at half speed. This makes the steering a lot less twitchy and easier to control.

But the most amazing advance I've seen over the years is crowned rollers. These work on the same principle as crowned pulleys that keep flat belts centered. The cost twice as much as regular rollers, but look like an amazing solution for people who have trouble staying on.

EXACTLY. I am still riding on my Kreitler rollers, bought new in 1990. Really. Have replaced belts three times over the years. Just put on some new rubber feet and I wonder why I waited so long to do this. I also have the Kreitler Killer Head Wind unit for resistance and it also cools you down nicely as i blows a lot of air and you can position it just as you like it.
