I asked my wife to take a pic while I rode and she obliged, but she shot like I wanted to use them for fit analysis. So we re shot to get the rollers.

Try to relax and engage your core and I think that you will be a little more comfortable. <BR/><BR/>I also agree with the fixie on the rollers. Your weaknesses in your pedal stroke will be magnified and you will be smoother. <BR/><BR/>Good luck!Mehulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827274907853685982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6157654557546064684.post-10392917450910328672008-01-17T16:37:00.000-08:002008-01-17T16:37:00.000-08:00Crap-I was about to Cat up from cat 5 roller god t...Crap-I was about to Cat up from cat 5 roller god to Cat 4 roller god!!
