A light bike doesn't replace good fitness.

Hello everyone

I am considering to purchase a pair of rollers, however I want to ride my “nice” road bike on them. Any issues I should be concerned about with the carbon wheels hitting the edge and causing damage? They are current gen hookless zipps 303 fc.

For the rollers I was thinking to get either the tacx Galaxia or the elite quick motion, both of which have slight parabolic shaped rollers to help keep you centered.

Thanks

I'm not sure I get what you mean by hitting an edge, what edge? Anyway, I have been using carbon wheels on rollers for years without any issues.

Trackies use carbon wheels and rollers all the time, it's a non issue unless you're not confident on how you ride.
And treat yourself to metal rollers not the plastic parabolic ones. Better feel, generally better built, and most of all, you don't get static build up!
