Bub Marley Posted October 24, 2013 Share Lol. Some mixed views now. Does the IDT have any effect on the frame of your bike? What about connecting the bike onto the trainer? Is it an irritation? I honestly don't want something where I need to remove my wheels everytime I wanna do a workout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurferChild Posted October 24, 2013 Share I only have rollers at this stage and was still looking at getting an IDT as well for some varriance. Used the rollers every now and again in winter when it was really icy outside, and now just every now and again if it's raining maybe.I understand that the IDT is hard on your rims and tyres, hence you can buy a spare trainer wheel. In my opinion, the rollers isn't that hard on the wheels (your opinion?) I get a good workout from the rollers, but i must be honest you need to push high gears to get a decent workout, otherwise it's just a easy spinning session, and that's it. To answer the top speed question... i have to stop at 74km/h otherwise the bike starts to hop uncontrollably and that's never a good thing on rollers. Still an awesome workout for ballance, it stiffens your core, improves concentration and really gives you a good ride using your own motor skills Edited October 24, 2013 by SurferChild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted October 24, 2013 Share Put me in the IDT camp. Rollers are great for smoothing your pedal stroke and balance but you can't do any interval work on it. Both is best of course but for quality indoor training the IDT is a winner. Also - one footed intervals are really tough on the rollers ;-) Mongoose! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr X Posted October 28, 2013 Share What about training for MTB? I assume the IDT will be much better for MTB than rollers because of the higher resistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3sB Posted January 4, 2014 Share I'm 168cm and about 58kg. I'm not very fast on the straights but not to bad when climbing. Will riding in big gears on rollers avging about 40km/h increase my speed on the flats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
