from goldsboro nc wayne Date Reviewed: August 16, 2008 Strengths: I've been riding and training on my American Classics since 1993 and after all these years I still Love them. When I ride them I do so for an hour at a time. I have the classics with the 2 small rollers in the front. I think they have the closest road like feel an indoor trainer can provide. The rollers I have are getting kind of raggid now and plan to purchase another set real soon. I recommend them to anyone that wants to better there fitness, spin and overall bike handling skills. Weaknesses: none Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $269.00 Purchased At: alaska Similar Products Used: none Bike Setup: road

from Victoria, BC, Canada Date Reviewed: July 28, 2004 Strengths: I bought this unit (American Hybrid Classic Bike Rollers- the type with 2 small rollers for the front wheel) on eBay recently and have only spent a few minutes using them. Just wanted to mention that American Classic no longer makes these units ("stopped making them years ago and no longer honor warranty"- according to email from company rep). Also, the smaller front rollers do provide more resistance than the usual larger roller, which may suit some folks. I have used rollers before (sold 'em when I moved) and generally found that everything is more manageable if the bike wheels are spinning fairly rapidly. Thus I prefer hard tires and low roller resistance. There is a well-designed 'bike support' which locks the front of the bike via handlebar clamps and fork positioning bars which turns the rollers into the equivalent of a stationary trainer- good for one leg pedalling and such things. Main rollers seem well built, but time will tell. I'm waiting for the weather to turn nasty before I pedal indoors! Weaknesses: No warranty- company no longer supports this product. Generic belts will fit. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $100.00 Purchased At: eBay Similar Products Used: Used rollers for a couple of winters 10 yrs ago-forget the brand. Bike Setup: Basic old-school road bike with Campy.
