Nice video and drills, and a lovely De Rosa bike. I bought a Elite Quick Motion Ruller in september, and have riden more than 1200 km on rollers by now. The fit to ones bike, the posture and so on, is down to little details, that are so much easier to notice on a ruller than on road. I prefer riding along side a workbench or some heavy furniture in the same hight. Riding head on to a window with a view is a nice feature too, and if your floor is tiles, then place the roller so your middle position is in line with a line between the tiles. The scetcy part usually last only a few minuttes, anyway.
I found the core is very important when riding roller. As you could see, his upper body barely moved, whatever he did. As a beginner rider I bought a set of rollers to ride indoor in winter, since it’s cheap😅. At first I had hard time staying on roller. My core was not ready probably. My upper body was dancing when paddling. I practiced over time now I could stay on rollers riding medium speed. However I still wobble when I pick up speed in higher gears. I use rollers when watching Netflix😂. I just ride rollers in steady medium speed to watch a couple of episodes for about 2hours.
Great video, it gives me confidence that putting the rollers in a doorway i just might get the hang of it without subduing to an injury. I will definitely be using a single speed cycle before i move to a cycle with gears.
Because of the size of my bike and the limit of the roller adjustment, my front hub sits just past the center point of the forward roller. It actually rides just fine, so if you notice that about your situation do not worry.
They make it sound too complicared, just get on and ride. practice eating, drinking, reaching into your jersey pockets, taking you jersey off, ridtng on each roller edge. its fun!
Sir sorry incorrect for bikes. Wheel ka angular momentum itna jyada nahi hota ki bike ko seedha rakh le. Forward motion ka role jyada hai isme. Bike khud ko countersteer karti hai. Plz research.
Among all videos on UA-cam regarding rolles, this one is ultimately the best. Thank you so much

this video gave me the confidence to try rollers,
thank you,

I pick up my first set today. I have never trained indoors before. Looking at a late May gran fondo.

Well done explaining!
Very nice video. 👍🚴♂️🚲

Mine too, was a bit worried about that 😊
Best guide I've found yet for starting on rollers... which I'm up to today :) Thanks :)
Followed your guidance and it went great Thanks be to God :)
Good video. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this is a good info. Thinking of getting one ☝️
Amazing

5:05 You forgot to show it

I wonder what you were like the first time you used rollers?😊

Better still use a fixed front roller stand or fit a mobility bar on the wall next to bike.
A fixed front wheel sort of defeats the idea of rollers, might as well just get a wheel on trainer then
