i actually changed my mind i want to find rollers but don't know which ones to get that would suite me. check out the video.
I would say a set of rollers with a better spec of bearings would be best.
Other than that info, there would only be google that can help you out as far as a supplier or maybe ebay??

Originally posted by kmac27I've had Kreitler rollers for about 15 years, and have no complains (well, I have a few minor complaints about rollers, but none about Kreitler rollers in particular). Rollers are a bit noisy, so they can bother downstairs neighbors if you have any. They're also tiring mentally to ride--at first you have to concentrate continually while riding so that you don't ride off the edges of the rollers. It took me awhile to get good enough to watch TV while riding, but it's possible. And as someone else mentioned, you'll want smooth tires. Probably the biggest benefit of rollers over a stationary trainer is that they will significantly improve your cycling efficiency and form.
krietler seem like the one go get?
