Does anyone know if Bicycle/Cycle Rollers Trainer give any resistance?
Do you just pedal on a roller as you would on a straight road or do you get any resistance? (Mag action rollers)
It all depends on the roller, some do offer options that add resisitance to the workout. However, rollers are not designed or intended to provide a resistance workout…. they are strictly for working on your technique.
As for pedaling just as you would on a straight road… Its a bit hard to describe but it’s more akin to pedaling on an iced over road. Every little motion you make is exageratted by the rollers so that you can develop proper technique.
If you’re looking for a resistance workout, you want a mag or fluid trainer… If you’re looking to work on your technique and develop top form, then you want to get the technique rollers.
