Talking Re: What's the best drive roller?

Okay I went out and did another 7.25 miles on the thing. My arms are toast and I'm pretty sure my arse is going to hurt tomorrow. I may head over to Richards (d!cks) Sporting Goods tomorrow and pick up that shock absorbing seat post and a gel seat. Let me tell you I hit a few bumps and I could feel that seat in my throat, if you know what I mean.

I did a short 2 mile ride and took a pic- I figured it was at the 15 mile mark for the roller and still no wear on the roller, tire looks a little worn, but Ilike I said for good contact and good speedI will take that any day over slipping of teh spindle.

Next pic is at the end of the 7.25 miles I did. It would be the 20.5 mile mark for the spindle and again, I'm noticing not much in the way of wear.

I hereby declare jb weld and fine play sand to be the sh!t to use if one is looking for something to cover a less than adequate spindle. I'll get more pics when I hit the 50 mile mark.
