Setting up Rollers -- help
 
I got my rollers back from a buddy. Unfortunately, I don't recall how to size them to the bike. I saw postings here on how to set them up, but dang if I can find them now. Where is the front fork supposed to be in relation to the roller wheel?

Thanks
David

My manual say that the front hub should be right over the front roller. And rear hub right between the back two rollers.

I set mine up with front hub over front roller, but some here say the front hub should be about 1" behind the roller, so that when you jump, you don't go over the roller. Try it both ways, and see what you like better.

Having it behind seems to be slower for me.

Thanks guys. When I get home from work, I'll get the adjustments made.

Adjusted the rollers and wow! What a difference! I ended up having to put the front hub 1" behind the front roller. Stopped after about 10 minutes simply because I was so hungry I could not think straight. Thanks for the help.
