Hey, can somebody keep me briefed? I have two sets (ever heard people call 'em 'pairs' of rollers?) One blue steel the other natural aluminum Little narrower and fatter than the average Kreitler standards, but Blue Cheer could not outplay most Cinellis! Usually known as leasebreakers, they are a match for a steam train. Even though mine have been much more modest than most cinellis, they are still exciting to ride and the noise can give a powerful feeling to those suffering from etseem, sensory, and testosterone deprivation.
