Beginner/cheap Roller Recommendations

This isn’t the answer you’re looking for, but I’ll share my experince for funzies.

Last fall, I was contemplating trying rollers, having never ridden them, and I narrowed my choices to two categories: (1) the cheapest rollers possible, in case I discovered that I don’t like rollers, and (2) the best rollers possible, in case I discovered that I do like them.

The cheapest rollers were imports on Amazon, usually $80-$100.

The expensive ones were around $1000 on sale, the Inside Ride E-Motion Smart Control rollers.

I decided on the Inside Rides, and I’ve been using them on TR and Zwift ever since, to the exclusion of my Kurt Road Machine.

I share this story because I, like you, initially wanted inexpensive rollers, and I can say for sure now that had I bought the cheap ones, I’d still be using my Kurt, and whatever cheap rollers I bought would be collecting dust.
