    I told him he can get one new for about 100e. That was too expensive.

    Taxc Rollers.I think the bearings or whatever goes through the front roller seems to be seizing. They can have them for free as I will have to buy a new set.

    Personally I wanna get one of these, but I think I need a better laptop first. And a bigger house.

    "Cycling has always been my weakest discipline but since using the CompuTrainer through the off season last year I've been able to come off the bike in the top 2 in my AG at all this years races.

    The combination of Watts, Cadence, HR and the computer pacer are all great tools and really helped me stay motivated and hit my targets in the hardest sessions".

    Jeez, I'd be a fool not to buy it!

    ok just to be 100% clear on this.
    The front roller is barely turning and when it does it makes a HUGE FOOKING noise.Even using it out in the garden as I did it is still very loud.
    The front roller does not roll in an even circle. It sort of rolls like an egg would roll.
    As its been out my back for over a year the nuts one one side have completly rusted on.I'm sure that will a lot of patience someone can remove it. But the roller cannot be removed to be fixed/replaced until this is sorted.
    And finally a while back I decided to re-spray the supports myself and really wasnt to arsed about covering up the rollers them selves so there is a fair amount of black spray on them.
    Just letting you know
