Kreitler Flywheel
£155.00
The Kreitler Flywheel is a simple, heavy device to add rotating mass to your Kreitler Rollers. Running off a belt connected to the rear drum of your rollers, the Flywheel creates a more natural road-like feel to riding rollers. Getting up to speed takes a little more effort, and momentary interruptions to your pedaling do not slow you down as much.
There is also an increase in resistance associated with using the Flywheel, due to the belt friction. Check out the Wattage Chart for more details. The Flywheel works with the Standard Frame only, not the Kompact Frame. Left Side and Right Side versions are available for the Flywheel. There is no difference in performance whether you choose the Left or Right Flywheel. It is a matter of personal preference. Some people like to use 2 flywheels, so we offer both a Left and Right option.
Description
Kreitler Flywheel
The Kreitler Flywheel adds rotating mass to your rollers. Running off a belt connected to the rear drum, the Flywheel increases resistance and creates a more natural road-like feel. With increased inertia it takes longer to get up to speed and once there creates more than enough resistance to do high power efforts. You still get the free moving feel of rollers and the need to balance and stay upright while working hard.
A winter spent doing Sweet Spot, Threshold and VO2 Max efforts on the Kreitler Flywheel and rollers will improve your core strength, pedaling action and souplesse way more than the same efforts on a turbo trainer.
The wattage chart below shows how much resistance a flywheel adds to the different sized Kreitler Rollers.
The Kreitler Flywheel works with the Standard Frame only, not the Kompact Frame. Left Side and Right Side versions are available and there is no difference in performance whether you choose the Left or Right Flywheel. Select the drum size that matches your rollers. (Please get in touch if your drum size is not available. The only difference between models is the belt size and we can include the right one)
