Nice shiny set of ally CycleOps rollers fell out of Santa's sack this morning... GF's face was a picture when I got on them in the kitchen (first couple of rides will be interesting... hic!) hehe

What improvements due you actually gain from using these over a turbo trainer?? Other than balance?

Yep, because there is some skill/technique in staying aboard, it makes sessions seem less tedious. Also like the fact the bike is not attached so they can just be folded and stowed when not in use.
