Kreitler Rollers Question

[Michael[_10_]]

Are 20 year old Kreitler rollers any better or worse than the new ones that Kreitler makes today?

Thanks,

Mike

They were very nice 20 years ago. I sorta regret selling mine. I
haven't ridden any Kreitlers since, so I can't compare.

I hear they were appalling.

Someone has some 20 year old rollers for sale.

Thanks,

When I first started racing in the 80s we could go by and visit Al and
that little dog of his (killer - killer 2 ) . His little shop was
somewhere here - either where the fast food is or that abandoned lot
to the left (west) . it was a little shack for the most part. I
think he struggled financially most of the time. He was a nice
guy.

If they're the all alloy ones and they still spin smoothly, they should be a
quality product.

It turns out they were the Challenger Kreitlers, not the alloy. I went ahead and bought the rollers and headwind unit for $180.00. I think they'll get the job done this winter.

Thanks,

Mike

A good price; if the bearings are spinning smooth they will work as well as
the all-alloy ones. Ride safe . . .

Apparently, the guy tried them 20 years ago for a couple of hours and gave up. They look brand new.

Another question: What is the brightest rear blinking light I can buy to give a heads up to the texting while driving high school kids?

Thanks,

Mike

As heavy as you can carry. I think the optimum is a
sealed lead-acid battery and a portable Xenon strobe
designed for camera mounting. Be advised that texting
drivers drive into fully lit and strobing fire trucks.
I've seen it. The firemen are beyond anger and surprise.

You could try a pair of these.
