Summary - Nemesis B2B

Summary
The choice of Kreitler Roller model depends on your cycling ability and the type of workout you want.
Smaller rollers are harder to ride. If cost and portability are lesser concerns, start with the 4.5 rollers.
You can always add resistance with the Headwind Fan or the Flywheel. If you choose a 3.0 or 2.25 roller and
find it has too much resistance, there is no way to make them easier to ride. Refer to the online wattage chart
for a comparison of the resistance of the various roller models and accessories.
The Kompact Frame gives users of the 3.0 and 2.25 rollers a smaller, lighter package for traveling or for
warming up at races. Fits 38” to 42” wheelbase bikes only.

Mini Roller kit which provides riders with an alternative
Standard
The Mini roller kit utilises 40 years of high quality manufacturing and provides a smooth rolling
alternative to a turbo trainer with the front wheel removed and the forks secured to a fork stand –
fantastic for spinning and general keep fit.
This new roller kit suits many novice riders and those looking for an easy set-up alternative to a turbo,
however if you want to enjoy the benefits of the “full” roller experience, follow our guide below to
select your optimum set up.
Which full Kreitler Roller
model is right for me?
Roller selection is straight forward;
1. Select drum diameter
2. Select Alloy or poly end caps
3. Select Standard or narrow (HotDog) width
If you’d like to know more to help with your selection then
please take the time to read through the guide below to
ensure you select the right rollers for your needs:
As the drum diameter decreases, the amount of
resistance increases. This is due to bearing friction and
tyre friction. For a given wheel speed, smaller drums
rotate at higher RPM’s than larger drums, producing
more friction in the sealed cartridge bearings. Smaller
drums also create more tyre friction because the roller
has a smaller contact patch and indents the tyre more.
Breakdown from left to right:
The 4.5 drums have relatively low resistance. Most
Step 1
Determine your objectives and assess your ability
• Are you mainly interested in developing better balance and pedaling technique?
•Are you trying to increase your cadence?
•Do you want to improve your “spin”, your power, or both?
•Are you a first time roller rider, or are you a fierce competitor looking for another way to improve your training regimen?
No matter how you answered the above questions, there
is a Kreitler Roller system for you. Follow the steps below
and you will become confident in your selection of Kreitler
products.
Step 2
Select drum diameter
In the picture below, notice the six different drum types
on offer:
riders can ride in larger gears and keep the wheel speed
high with relatively low effort on the 4.5 drums. Higher
wheel speed enhances balance and provides a greater
coasting effect if you stop pedaling momentarily.
Combined with the Headwind Fan, the 4.5 models
provide the widest range of workload of any other
roller combination. For easy spinning or intense interval
workouts, you can do it all with the 4.5 drums combined
with the Headwind Fan. The 4.5 drums are the easiest
for learning to ride rollers, too.
Alloy 3.0
Challenger 3.0 Alloy 2.25 Challenger 2.25
Poly
The choice of end cap depends on several considerations.
Our “Alloy” models have Alloy end caps. The “Challenger”
models have Poly end caps. Alloy end caps are heavier than
Poly end caps. The Alloy end caps create more momentum
in the rollers and an increased coasting effect. The difference
in weight is more noticeable on the larger drums. The Alloy
end caps are machined from aluminium billet. The Poly end
caps are moulded polycarbonate. While the Poly end caps
are high quality and built to last, the Alloy end caps maintain
momentum better and are even longer lasting.
The second consideration is the use of accessories. The
Headwind Fan and the Flywheel put a fair amount of friction
on the belt groove of the end cap. The Headwind Fan and the
Flywheel can be used with either the Alloy 4.5 or Challenger
4.5 drums, but with the Challenger 3.0 and Challenger 2.25
drums, they will cause premature end cap wear, which is
not covered under the lifetime warranty. On the 3.0 and
2.25 drums, Alloy endcaps are recommended if the Fan or
Flywheel are being used.
provide approximately 40% more
resistance compared to the 4.5 drums, making harder
workouts possible without the addition of the Headwind
Fan but not allowing the easy spinning that the 4.5
rollers offer. The 3.0 rollers are a good choice when
higher resistance is desired, and at a lower cost than the
4.5s with Headwind Fan combination. Some smaller, but
strong riders (under 120lbs/54kg) may still find that the
3.0s have too much resistance for warming up or for less
intense rides. Higher weight riders have an easier time
on the smaller drums because the inherent resistance of
the drums is lower, relative to their power output.
have approximately 90% more
resistance compared to the 4.5 drums. Only the
strongest of riders are able to ride the 2.25 drums. The
2.25 rollers were originally designed for the USA Cycling
Team when they were looking for smaller rollers for
travel that also provided enough resistance for interval
workouts or sprint warm-ups. If you do not routinely
average over 20-25mph on your solo road rides, look
to the 3.0s or 4.5s. Also, if you are a lighter weight rider
(under 120lbs/54kg), you may find the 2.25s too hard,
regardless of your speed outdoors.
The Standard Frame works with all Kreitler Drums and
accessories, and covers a wide range of wheelbases. There
are also two extension kits available for the Standard Frame
for longer bikes such as recumbents and tandems.
The Kompact Frame is designed for the 3.0 and 2.25
drums, and works with bicycles with wheelbases from 38”
to 42” only. The Kompact Frame is designed for maximum
portability and lighter weight, and it will fold up compactly in
all wheelbase settings when used with the 3.0 or 2.25 drums.
It is compatible with the Headwind Fan but not the Flywheel.
You can use the 4.5 drums on the Kompact Frame, but it will
only fold up compactly in a very narrow range of wheelbase
settings (39.5” to 41”). The clearance between the ground
and the 4.5 drums is minimal, and may be insufficient on
uneven surfaces.

Standard Kreitler Drums are 15” wide and are by far the most
popular width. Hot Dog drums are 10” wide. Every model
of Kreitler Drum is available in the Hot Dog width. Hot Dog
drums are desirable for the most experienced roller riders
who want an additional challenge or maximum portability
from their rollers.
Step 7
The Headwind Fan is an adjustable resistance unit providing
a wide range of resistance options depending on how far
you open the air inlet. The air flow can be aimed at the rider
for a cooling breeze, or directed away if preferred. The range
of resistance when used in combination with the 4.5 rollers
simulates everything from a 2mph tailwind to a tough uphill
climb into the wind!
The Flywheel increases the momentum of the rollers by
adding mass. Additional momentum has a smoothing effect
on the pedaling stroke and increases the road-like feel. The
Flywheel also adds resistance, but not nearly as much as the
Headwind Fan can add.

The Fork Stand is an accessory that is useful for maximum effort sprinting, singleleg drills, or for sharing your Kreitler Rollers with someone who doesn’t want to
have to concentrate as much on their balance.
