Garmin TacX Antares Indoor Retractable Bicycle Rollers 62 cm

Product Information

The rollers themselves work with both road and mountain bike wheels. The front-wheel roller, like other Elite rollers, can be adjusted to ten different positions. This range is suitable for any size bike, which is good news if you fall on either extreme of the height spectrum. More Best Rollers If You Want to Get on Zwift Elite Arion Digital Parabolic Rollers Elite Arion Rollers are Zwift-compatible To adjust the rollers to your bike, all you need to do is adjust the front drum so that it’s slightly in front of the front hub. This will ensure you don’t ride off the rollers. For this process, you’ll need a wrench as your tool.

Drum shapes are either parabolic or the same. And, the size of the drum affects the resistance that can be created on the roller. In this post, I give a review of Tacx Antares, then in a subsequent post I will give you some example sessions that are perfect for rollers. if you want the feel of riding on rollers but you also like diving into Zwift or one of the other training apps, then smart rollers are for you. These tend to have electromagnetic resistance built into them as well as connectivity through Bluetooth or ANT+. I’d recommend this roller if you want one that is easy to travel with and can be “converted” to a trainer-roller hybrid. An intermediate can have conical-shaped drums and sometimes dip in the middle, which helps the bike stay in the middle for the entirety of the workout.The Misuro B+ sensor is compatible with Elite’s E-training. And, this sensor directs each workout and records your power, cadence, heart rate, speed, time, and data. The rollers can be adjusted so that you can dismount and mount your bike on whatever side feels more natural to you.

The fact that you don't have to attach the wheel or drivetrain means they're great for pre-race warm-ups; it's common to see WorldTour riders warming up on rollers ahead of big mountain days. Another question you might ask is what type of workout can I do on a bike roller that I can’t do on a trainer. Some rollers have a stand that clamps onto your front wheel. This gets you used to riding on the rollers without the fear of always falling out. if you like the idea of going on rollers but don’t want to give up your dose of cycling apps like Zwift, then this is for you. These rollers come with progressive resistance and are “smart” in the same way that trainers are. Once they arrived it took about 10 minutes to put them together. I was expecting more 'bits' in the box but assembly was surprisingly easy and the quality was high. These don't feel flimsy or cheap, they feel good quality and robust.From time to time carriers may deliver earlier or later, or on non working days however this is cannot be guaranteed nor should it be expected. Remember, on the trainers, you’re always looking for the “real-life” feeling as if you’re on the road. The Tacx Antares rollers are made with conical rollers that keep your bike in the middle of the roller for your entire workout. The item is your responsibility until it reaches us. For your own protection, we recommend that you send the parcel using a delivery service that insures you for the value of the goods. Due to ongoing issues with my spine I am selling most of my cycling gear, I now only cycle for local transport so I will only be keeping what is necessary.
