    I am new to rollers and would like to ask if the front wheel axle should be in front of, or behind the front roller? Maybe a picture of yours may belp?
    Thanks

    I recommend trying it out in
    I recommend trying it out in a doorway if you haven’t used them before, so you have something to grab/lean on while you get used to them.

    It may be slightly more
    It may be slightly more stable with the axle behind the roller spindle, but it’s almost unnoticeable. Slightly behind really does mean slightly behind, not an inch or two.

    Happy spinning!

    Thanks for the quick
    Thanks for the quick answer.
    I was wondering, if the axle was slightly behind the front roller, if the action of the front roller would “tend” to pull the front tyre downward and lead to better stability?
    I will set the rollers up with the axle directly above the front roller and give it a try.

    Your front axel should not be
    Your front axel should not be in front of the roller, but it can be inline or a little behind.

    Neither, your front axle
    Neither, your front axle should be right above the roller
