\"RollerThe roller bike trainer has the simplest design of the different indoor trainers that you will encounter. It comes with a set of three rollers, two occupying the rear of the trainer, while one occupies the front. Due to the lack of mechanics in these trainers, they can be quite noisy, however the benefit is there is no upper limit to the amount of resistance they can provide. Unlike other types of bike trainers, there is no stabilization mechanism, so you\u2019ll have to ensure you\u2019ve got your balance before you hop on or have some way of stabilizing yourself on the trainer. Because of this some would suggest that they are not the best choice for absolute beginner cyclists.<\/p>\n

Parabolic versus Straight Rollers<\/h2>\n

Firstly, we should clear up the difference between parabolic rollers and straight rollers, as we cover both in this article. When starting out using a roller bike trainer, parabolic rollers are easier. They\u2019re easier, because you never ride off the edges as you can do with straight rollers if you\u2019re not careful. Another difference is the size. Parabolic rollers are, on average, smaller than their cylindrical counterparts. This means they will heat up the tires of your bike more quickly.<\/p>\n

Right, now that\u2019s out of the way…<\/p>\n
