Review on 🚴 Smooth and Space-Saving: Tacx Antares Indoor Retractable Bicycle Rollers by Jason Chaplain

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's scary at first, but the game is changing!

Love this reel! Using one for the first time ever. After I picked it up. I tried. I was immediately sweaty for fear of vomiting. I've fallen a dozen times. After 30 minutes I figured out how to drive without falling. Focus on what's in front of you. Don't look at your feet. Do not grip the steering wheel too tightly or lean forward too much. Just focus on smooth pedaling. Don't think too much. Your body will repair everything naturally. Also, I only started cycling a month ago. So I don't have years of experience. My bike is a fixed gear and is 49 cm tall. I am 5'6 143lbs tall. Set up slot 7. Hope this helps someone. **Update 11/11/20** It's been about 2 months. I've gotten to a point where I don't even think about or worry about falling. I watch shows for 30-60 minutes while using videos.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Line is shorter than other picks
