I tried my mountain bike on these rollers. It works well, fitting on the rollers in the same position as my road bike, but the noise is really annoying from the MTB tyres. So, yes you can use your mountain bike, but buy some earplugs or an MP3 player

no reason why you can't, but not with MTB tyres. it would be very noisy and probably unstable

Yes - rode on this a number of times with the MTB. The nobly tires aren't the best so I would suggest some cheap slicks if you can find them - gets a bit noisy.

Apart from that the ride is fine. I would set your shocks to firm though!

Would recommend the Antares Rollers. Tricky to begin with to get your balance but after you get your balance a great training aid. Get a good workout.

I'm 85Kgs and I haven't broken them yet. They seem very strong and stable. If you want to keep those belly muscles under control, I'd definitely purchase a set of rollers. The borrowed turbo will keep you conditioned but the rollers will preserve/improve your pedalling style and stability.

As they are infinitely adjustable for wheelbase i can't see why not.The only issue would be tension of the roller band if rollers are too close together

have thought so - depends on wheel base and the Tacx is adjustable.

We have also been looking for resistance for the TacX rollers, but unfortunately there doesn't appear to be any such thing available.

just about zero, best I have ever had.

I bought these to use with my road bike but I have had my mountain bike on them just to see if I could. They seemed to work fine but it was just a one off.

Yes you definitely can, no problem at all. Just need to use slicks so you don't go deaf.

Depends what you want! The Pro's of one are the con's of the other. I prefer rollers as they simulate real riding - requiring complete concentration on steering and balance, but check you can get one that adds resistance if you require that. Turbo trainers generally offer variable resistance, but its like riding an exercise bike - no balance concentration. Also if you have a carbon fibre bike you'll probably find the bike maker will stipulate you shouldn't attach these to turbo trainers - where as rollers will be OK

If you have a lot of time to put into going on the rollers, get them.
Although you cannot adjust the resistance like you can on the better Turbo Trainers, these are a true test of your technique.
They will help develop good technique & good cadence,if you can ride rollers without moving you are there and this will flow through to your road style !
Just watch a pro cyclists ride rollers..they are awesome.
Otherwise, get the turbo. I didnt have the patience with rollers and they are a bit strange at first, but you will get used to them.

Yes the smoother the tyres the better though

As it's rollers you can put anything on it but offroad tyres are very noisy. I am using slicks on my old mountain bike and that's fine. You can adjust the length to suit any size of bike.

About 9kg boxed. Dimensions are around the size of a medium suitcase.

I use this with my mtb and it's fine. Yep it is a good idea to run slicks, TACX make some specifically for this purpose and they are super quiet too. It is a pain changing tyres just for training so pick up a cheap set of wheels so it's just a quick, simple wheel change. Well worth it for the skills you gain/maintain while trying to not fall off the darn things.

Base width: Just under 46.5cm;
Roller width (wheel useful) :
Just over 37cm.
