.
Anybody have any experience with wind trainers/rollers?   I'm considering
getting some for the winter- I don't think I'll be able to run and avoid
injury without getting an expensive pair of orthotics, and in that case
I'd rather get something for my bike anyhow.  So how about it?  Can I get
something that will add resistance to my rollers?  Are there generic
devices that attach to them, or if I get Kreitler rollers, do I have to
get the little wind attachment from them exclusively.  I noticed that
Fuji makes some rollers with a little adjustable resistance knob
and wheel on it.  It seems like that would be unrealistic- resistance
should increase with speed, right?  Maybe rollers are an expensive luxury
and I should just go with a wind trainer.  Fellow bikers, I put the question
to the floor...
