Strengths: Reliable, smooth, quiet (except for the Headwind unit)Weaknesses: Headwind unit is loud. As with any trainer, keep children and pets away when you are riding on a trainerBottom Line: Bought these rollers in 1990. I am riding with 2 flywheels, and sometimes hook up the Headwind unit. These rollers are smooth, quiet, and much easier to bear than any standard trainer. Just replace the belts once every three years and repaint the rails once every 5 years, and they will last a lifetime.

Strengths: Well designed, no nonsense. Basic frame and rollers - very well made.Weaknesses: None. No bells and whistles.Bottom Line: Own a trainer and was looking for a way to breath life into my winter work outs. Shopped around and decided to spend a little more for the Kreitlers. Well worth the money - the drums are whisper quiet, well made. Stands up to my 200 pounds without a hint of a problem.

Strengths: Quiet, smooth, forces you to stay attentive (or they'll throw you off!). Quick set up - just unfold 'em and throw your bike on and your off.Weaknesses: Feel's wobbly and "flimsy" when folded up during transport, etc. but that does not reflect on the performance of these at all.Bottom Line: Rollers are amazing compared to a stationary trainer. After reading the reviews and asking around I decided to go with the Kreitler's and do not regret it one bit. I would say that I already have gotten my money out of them this winter. As mentioned in previous posts, it's nice to be able to jump on these for 20 miles after work (great for fitness and form). I was a little surprised at how "flimsy" they felt when folded up (and the apparent "lack of material" for the price but their performance has been perfect. I'm definetely glad that I spent the extra cash for the Kreitler's, as I have put over 300 miles on them and they are still smooth and quiet as new.

Strengths: quiet
durable
not as hard on frame as trainersWeaknesses: Killer Headwind a wee bit noisyBottom Line: Fantastic rollers! I crank out a quick 10-15 miles on these babies every morning rather than braving the icy winter streets. Unbeleivably quiet on their own; not so much once I added the aptly-named "Killer Headwind". My balance and form has improved amazingly since using these. A wee bit hard to get used to the first couple of rides so set them up in a doorway. (I quickly learned that 20 mph is pretty darn fast when you're suddenly doing it in your family room!)
