Exactly my thought. Don't even think of trying it or you'll be eating the cost of one roller.

The reason for having the internal flywheel is so they can offer the option of disconnecting it, when you choose to rider TruTrainer's as standard rollers.

I have TruTrainer rollers. One benefit they have over the eMotions is they hold the wheels level to the ground. It feels more comfortable and natural riding in the drops. On standard rollers, where the rear wheel sits slightly lower than the front, I tend to use the tops of the bars more, otherwise I feel undue pressure in the private parts area.

I don't worry about the inability to sprint. That's such a minor quibble to me as not all rollers can be all things to all people.
