This type of roller training has gone from being a training to save the day, recover pulses or eliminate toxins, to be considered one of the most effective training systems both for losing weight, as well as for doing series and specific cadence work, in addition to provide a significant improvement in your performance if you follow a series of basic tips. In addition, there are only three alternatives with rain: not to train, go to a gym to do spinning or have a roller at home, and enjoy our routine. You will only have to take into account a series of guidelines that will allow you to carry out the session more comfortably.

Before using bicycle trainers

Before starting a roller session, it is important that you keep in mind a series of basic tips that will allow you to carry out the session more comfortably.

suitable room

It is very important that the space where you roll is suitable for it. You must have good ventilation so that the air in the room circulates and in the same way avoid that in a short time you are rolling in a room with a bad smell and with 5 or 10 degrees more. In addition, this is also quite important so that the rate of dehydration is slower.

correct hydration

It is essential to roll with at least 1 can of water or mineral salts and drink 0.5 to 0.75 liters of water for every hour of rolling. As the roller sessions are practically indoors, the rates of dehydration and sweating are much higher. Similarly, we already know the great importance of our hydration both inside and outside the home.

towel and equipment

A towel next to us both to dry the sweat on the forehead and to prevent the sweat from falling on the frame would be highly recommended, since it is very corrosive in the long run. Another element that can offer us some help at a certain time without the need to interrupt our training would be to have a nearby chair or table to leave the mobile and other objects when desired.

These are some examples of recommendations or objects that must be present or that will help you a lot in your indoor sessions. However, regarding its typology, we can also say that there are different types of rollers that we will detail and differentiate below.

Types of bicycle roller

If you want to start doing work at high intensities, it is very likely that the classic roller roller is insufficient and you need a roller with different resistance levels. Controllable rollers in this case, will allow you to do more personalized sessions and adapt the training load to your needs. However, roller trainers are ideal for improving balance on the bike or to improve cadence, but they are quite limited for those cyclists who want to improve performance on the trainer. Let's distinguish between different rollers:

magnetic bicycle roller

This type of bicycle roller is the most widespread since they are the cheapest. They are fairly rigid metal structures that offer resistance to pedaling through a roller with magnets and a fan. They can be adjustable depending on the roller model you choose, in some cases from the structure and in others through a control that can be attached to the handlebar. In the magnetic rollers is where we can find a greater variety.

They usually offer a type of resistance that bears little resemblance to reality (if you've ever tried it, you'll have noticed that you get more tired than usual) and are also the noisiest.

Advantages: cheaper, possibility of incorporating a regulator.

Disadvantages: they are far from reality, they tend to be noisier and they provide some wear on the back cover.

Fluid bicycle rollers

They are called fluids or "with fluid" since the resistance to pedaling in these bicycle rollers is carried out through a fluid (generally oil) that is next to the roller itself. They are more natural and are already beginning to include electronic functionalities.

The main difference with the magnetic rollers is that they do not have a regulation control, in this case we ourselves are the ones who modify them with the intensity of the pedaling and the gear ratio. Although there are variants for hybrid bicycles, which do integrate a remote of regulation.

As well as being much quieter, they offer a more realistic feel than magnetic ones.

Advantages: quieter and as we have said, they are more like reality.

Disadvantages: they tend to be somewhat more expensive and their performance is greater, they also provide some wear on the back cover, and they do not have a built-in control for intensity regulation.

Direct Drive Bike Trainers

Very famous in recent years for being the ones used by many WorldTour teams to warm up before a time trial. They are the same as the fluid rollers but with the particularity that we hook the chain directly to the roller, ignoring the rear wheel, and thus ensuring that there is no wear and tear on our tire and therefore, again, it also gives us a more realistic feeling.

Also, as it is fluid and there is no friction other than that of the chain with the cassette, it is very silent, as much as a bicycle rolling down the street.

Advantages: They are the quietest, the most realistic or similar to a good workout away from home, and they do not provide tire wear.

Disadvantages: its price is usually somewhat higher due also to the greater benefits it offers, it does not include a cassette so it will have to be purchased separately, and its regulation does not have a remote control either.

Balance bike rollers or rollers

These bike trainers are commonly used by track cyclists to warm up before competition due to the high pedaling cadences achieved. By offering very little resistance to pedaling, with them you can mainly train balance and skill on the bike, since staying on one of these is much more complicated than on the road.

Although initially they are not valid for series training, there are models with variable resistance to have a more complete training.

Advantages: quieter, you have the option to practice balance, and they allow you the possibility of sprinting.

Disadvantages: they usually have little resistance, and their regulation is not controlled either.
