look and learn.

I liked the video.

Man, he could make those rollers scream!

But, I'll admit that at about 1:05 I was kinda hoping that a roller would seize and he'd go shooting off the front. That would have been funny!

Maybe, but I bet 99% of cyclists do.

I should make vids of my "spinning in tempo to jazz tunes" rollers workout.

I think it's quite appropriate that he sounds like a locomotive in that video.

ozzie roller action.

All stories have been told already. Form is what counts.

Thread cleaned up, lets keep it on topic and cut out all the bashing.

Wow an unlocked thread?

Cool.

+1 for performance travel trac rollers.

That's why this thread confused me so much. It used to be more pages. Thanks for unlocking it.

I actually did find the OP quite helpful. There are a lot more threads than these when one searches on the topic. The links posted actually do a lot to sift through the debris of what could be an overwhelming search.

Since every imaginable roller question has already been adressed, I guess this means I can't shill the E-Motions any longer.
Which oh by the way are the best rollers on the planet bar none :rolleyes:

I'd watch that. Especially if it was Coltrane's Giant Steps.
Even better, you playing the trumpet or trombone on the rollers.
And I'd pay cash to see you do a remake of the tuba video you made a couple years back. This time on rollers though instead of the trainer.

Linky?

Needle in a haystack.
Maybe the 41 Foo thread from a couple Winters ago?

trumpet might be possible, except it would sound like ass

I don't think it's gonna happen on rollers

the original Giant Steps was at 288 bpm. That means either a comfy climbing workout at 72 cadence or almost 5 minutes of pushing 144. hmmmmm

I do like a challenge

Don't do it, I don't want to feel responsible if something goes wrong.

How'd you'd figure out BPM for Giant Steps? Metronome?
Maybe start with something slower, "Kinda Blue"(?), and work your way up.

metronome.

I'm pretty confident that I can do that length of time at 130rpm, since some of my practice tunes are in that range. 144 is probably tougher, but I do bounce less at that tempo since it seems to be above a certain threshold of natural bounce rhythm for me.

To get a quick read on anything related to cycling, Sheldon Brown's website is always not a bad starting point.

Though not generally thought of as a cycling resource, wikipedia sometimes has something decent along with good links. For good karma, if you know better than what's written already, improve the article since it's much more likely to be found later by others than a BF post. As it stands, wikipedia contains articles both on rollers and trainers

That was excellent. I'm not sure what I appreciated more, your commentary or the tuba being played while riding a bicycle.

surprisingly unsmooth

wut?

feel free to post a video of you on rollers.

And pedaling with toe clips. On a 70's vintage bike.

That was outstanding.

Can I make a request? I'm on a big Horace Silver kick right now...can you do Song for my Father?

wait 'til you see my roller vids. I look like a monkey humping a swiss ball in comparison :P
