looking at getting some training rollers, upto £150 there seems to be two i can choose from, the Elite parabolic roller or the Tacx Antares both about £130 - £140.

does anyone have any comments on these two, or could have i missed something?

Go for Elite, I bought some Antares a few years ago and they build quality isn't great. The problems can be fixed but they shouldn't be there in the first place, maybe newer version are designed better.

FWIW I think I'm going to go with the Elites .. Total newbie to rollers but from the research I've done they should be a good starting point
