e-motion rollers arrive

http://www.onemorehill.com/images/2006/03/emtion_assembled-thumb.jpgWhen I got home tonight I found a big box from Inside Ride on my front porch courtesy of FexEx Ground. My E-Motion rollers had arrived. After getting my bike into the garage I brought the box inside and rushed upstairs to take a quick shower.

Nice big E-Motion box
I saw these rollers at the 2006 Seattle Bike Expo last month and was impressed with how easy they were to ride on considering they were "rollers". Being the crazy bike gadget guy that I am, I placed my order at Inside Ride for my own set of E-Motion rollers and now I've got a nice big brown box in my great room.
I've been riding inside on my CycleOps Fluid2 trainer on the weekends because of the cold and rainy Northwest winters. The Fluid2 trainer has served me well but I've always wanted to ride on rollers because of all the benefits I've read about but I've been reluctant to get one because of the steep learning curve. Rollers like the Kreitler and CycleOps are also not meant for hard sprints and out of saddle cycling because of the difficulting in on the rollers.http://www.onemorehill.com/images/2006/03/emotion_box_open-thumb.jpg
The rollers came packaged very well. Everything was in it's proper place and it came mostly assembled. The only thing that needed to be attached was the fly wheel. My initial impressions were that this was a very well constructed piece of equipment. All the joints were very solid and clean.
