TacxGalaxia Rollers

This will be an ongoing review.The build couldn't be easier. 8 visual steps, < 10 min. Adjustment when collapsing the roller for storage or transport is simple.1st Session: Dialing in the set up. I have a garage floor that is hard coated. The front wheels being stable but polymer can be slippery when getting used to this roller. I keeled over and at some point and the front end slid out. Take away: Make sure the surface is level and has plenty of grip. I doubt this will be a problem as I get better, but I threw down a yoga mat for now...problem solved. Tons of videos showing how to get used to using a roller and all are spot on w/ what I experienced. Wall or table to stabilize yourself while getting going in the beginning. A step up block will make things easier if you have one. It's not how fast you are peeling but how fast your wheels are spinning that helps here. First try done.

UPDATE: Trainer didn’t hold up well to use after several months.ORIGINAL: Great product. Able to spin and stand on first try (lots of experience with rollers). Kind of the same principle as Inside Ride Emotion, although doesn’t have magnetic resistance so no huge power workouts on this. But if you don’t need that, Tacx Galaxia is awesome. Delivery from Certified Brands of Wheat Ridge, Colorado was on time and in perfect shape. Five stars all around!!!

This is my first time to own a Roller. The instructions are pretty vague on how set things up, but if you watch a youtube video on it, it is actually really easy. If you are just learning, I would advise you do it in a hall way where you can catch yourself on the wall, also have something to step up/down on. Took me about an hour to get used to, but I love it - I have been using it with Rouvy since Christmas and it is a great ride!

Very good quality, and very fund to riding on it and feel like on the real road.

Excellent machine!!!

Ich habe diesen Trainer gekauft, um mich im Winter fit zu halten, damit ich wenigstens jeden Tag eine halbe Stunde mit dem Fahrrad fahren kann. Das Fahren war anfangs etwas schwierig, aber nachdem ich mich daran gewöhnt hatte, macht es sehr viel Spaß!
