Default Re: What's the best drive roller?

I just got back from a ride- filling in the divots gave me a new top, no pedal speed on flats of 15mph, an easy comfortable cruise. From the low end I now can bump it going at 3 strokes of the pedals. Hills were better managed. Seems those divots were slipping a lot more than I expected.

I will see how they hold up to some more testing tomorrow, I'd like to see how it holds up after 5, 10, 15 and 20 miles, They skies have unleashed a torrent of wet s4!t on us and I just barely made it to my garage before the downpour.

I've got to say that 15 mph is just about right I think for cruising about town. I keep up with traffic but cagers seem bewildered by the smoke and the bike is just about right for it. I can sit quite upright and control the handlebars with one hand. I'm thinking a set of upright ape hangers would be perfectly suited to this bike.
