OH SNAP!! Bobke was like "Bitch, get out and ride your bike!!"
Bob you have an unfair advantage to us younger guys, you started riding before they invented the sun, so you've had time to adapt to the cold

that could be one of the most rediculous things i have seen! in a good way!
That's what she says!
Well, I bought a set of rollers a couple of weeks ago, 3" with a mag resistance attachment.
Those cone ended rollers only would help stop you from riding off the end, I'm sure you'd still get core/balance benefits.
What diameter drums would be best to start off on???
On the other hand, I would argue that rollers are a tool for improving your pedaling ability, not for building resistance-based fitness, and the standard drums give you the smoother ride. When I want resistance, I get on my trainer.I would go with a smaller diameter drum. You can always shift down to make it easier. if you have larger diameter, you may spin out in a high gear and want/need more resistance.

The smaller drums will put increased wear on your tires as well. I've heard that the smallest Kreitlers are particular tire-eaters.
