Smooth ride, not much noise, folds into a small footprint
Cons:
need a pad to avoid laying rubber onto the carpet
I've been riding these rollers for two years, and rollers will definitely force you to focus on your balance and holding a line. The rollers provide a smooth ride, and are very adjustable. My wife (56cm) and I (64cm) both use the trainer, and changing sizes just takes a minute or two. I bought a second belt for the rollers, but haven't had to replace the belt yet (1200 miles).
There is a steep learning curve for people riding rollers for the first time. I have fallen a few times, so I now ride near a handy wall in case I need a steadying hand.
My riding has improved during Racing Season, since I'm now spending most of my time riding a straight line, rather than weaving.
