I’d love to get feedback from anyone who has used both InsideRide e-motion and the KickR e-flex. I have a Kickr but having the flexibility of Kickr or rollers also has an appeal (albeit at a higher price point)

[image] RobbieTunes: I do not have good balance, so the rollers, for me, are presently hazardous. The first flight was expected. The second had my leg going between the steps of a folding stool, and just missed breaking my lower leg. The third, with the fork stand, had me getting sideways at the…

Thanks. A former pro said to put a mirror in front and look at that.

I made a platform for mine (about a 1/4" above the top surface of the rollers, then 1/2" thick wood) and found that it increased my confidence.

Hey @ArHu74 thanks for the tips ! However just the thought of riding my kickr with only the legs pushing, no movement, no core involvement makes me sick to my stomach :face_vomiting: Hah, a bit extreme, but honestly rollers have been an epiphany. I’m willing to live with the risk of a broken bik…

My only advice is to make sure that the tires are pumped up hard. Tires also wear on these rollers so don’t use your $50+ race tires.
