Kreitler - Whisper Quiet and Smooth as Silk

Kreitler rollers are hand crafted using only the highest quality materials and carry a lifetime warranty. The drums are precisely machined from 6061-T6 aluminum tubing and turned on a lathe to within 2/1000th of an inch of perfect concentricity. Kreitler roller rails are made from top quality, heat treated steel and mig welded in precision fixtures. Eight non-marring rubber feet provide exceptional stability even under demanding conditions. All belts are polyurethene and wear like iron. Perfectly round drums combined with instrument quality shield bearings and a solid, stable set of rails result in the smoothest, quietest ride available on rollers. When you want the finest, Kreitler is the one to own.

 
Kreitler Roller features:
  • Comes completely assembled. All you need to do is open the box, unfold the rollers and ride.
  • Kreitler offerrs three different alloy drum diameters and two types of drum endcaps.

  • Roller Drums

  • 4.5 inch ( 115 mm ) diameter, 15 inch long ( 38 cm ) alloy drums are the easiest to ride and most stable. Extra resistance is easliy added via the Kreitler Killer Kool Headwind attachement.
  • 3.0 inches ( 76 mmm ) diameter, 15 inch ( 38 cm ) alloy wide drums are more difficult to ride and give a better workout than 4.5 inch drums. A 'tough' person could be humiliated by the "Killer KOOL Headwind" and Kreitler's 3 inch rollers.
  • 2.25 inches ( 57 mmm ) diameter, 15 inch ( 38 cm ) alloy wide drums were designed for the USA Cycling Team. 2.25 inch drums provide a tongue draggin' load. Only an 'animal' would use the "Killer KOOL Headwind" with these drums.

  • Roller End Caps

  • Each drum size is available with premium silver colored, alloy end caps as pictured above to the right, or less expensive but equally durable black polycarbonate end caps as pictured above to the left. Polycarbonate end caps reduce machining costs substantially and result in significant overall savings. All drums and end caps are covered by a lifetime warranty from Kreitler.
  • All drums are lathe turned after the bearings are installed so you are assured of near-zero runout. In fact run-out is always less than 0.002 of an inch. Put another way, these drums are machined round to the width of a human hair!
  • Heavy duty, black epoxy powder coated, channel steel roller frame will not flex or twist even during the most rigorous workouts. All Kreitler rollers use the same roller frame.

Kreitler Roller features:
  • Accepts bicycles with wheelbases from 31.5 inches (80 cm) to 46.75 inches (119 cm). A bicycle's wheelbase is the distance from the rear wheel axle to the front wheel axle in a straight line. Always adjust the front roller so it is slightly ahead of your front wheel's axle.
  • Roller rail extensions will allow you to ride your tandem on Kreitler rollers. The extensions will accept bicycles with wheelbases from 57.5 inches (146 cm) to 72.8 inches (185 cm). No tools are required to adjust the wheelbase settings.
  • Precision CNC machined and lathe turned drums assure you of the smoothest and quietest possible ride.
  • Lifetime lubricated, sealed radial bearings. 100% sealed to give you a lifetime of maintenance free training.
  • Eight large, non-marring, rubber feet provide rock solid support to the flex free, 16 inch (40 cm) wide, steel frame.
  • Tough, Gloss Black, epoxy powder coating strongly resists what can often be a corrosive and punishing environment.
  • Folds in half for easy storage.

  • Folds for storage

  • Easy to work on and spare parts are readily available.
  • Kreitler fork stands, flywheels and wind load fans are listed below.
  • Designed and built in the USA by riders who love to bike.
  • Solidly backed with a Lifetime manufacturers warranty.
  • Professional repairs, warranty service and help with technical questions is available from Kreitler in Colorado. Call them at (970) 241-3518, visit them at the official Kreitler Web Site or email them at Support@EkoSport.Com by clicking on the underlined text .

Train Smarter - Use a Heart Rate Monitor

To get the best workout in the least amount of time we suggest using a heart rate monitor. Simply set an upper and lower heart rate zone, put the wireless monitor on and start cycling. Simply by keeping your heart rate within the zone limits you will improve the efficiency and results of your cycling session.
If your goal is to lose weight a heart rate monitor will prove invaluable. A heart rate monitor will not only count your calories burned but also guide you to the heart zone that allows you to burn calories from fat. A good quality heart rate monitor can be purchased for as little as $49.88. Click on the underlined text to visit our Heart Rate Monitors Section.

Branford Bike Online Catalog - Archival Edition
brought to you by the former owner of Branford Bike, Tim Brockett via his personal web site, TimsLife.Com
This is an archival edition of the Branford Bike web site from February 2006. Complete with product photos, prices, how to articles and technical specifications it is a treasure trove of accurate, detailed and historical information.

In July of 2006 Branford Bike was incinerated by a huge forest fire. No one was hurt but the inventory and buildings were completely destroyed. I witnessed the fire and stayed until the trees were burning in my driveway. At that point I hiked from Branford Bike, through the smoke and embers, down the mountain to my Jeep 3 miles away. I took photos and wrote about the harrowing experience so everyone could see what I saw. My insurance was generous and I later rebuilt my home and started another business selling books. Read the story here.

Branford Bike was a huge part of my life for over 30 years; June 1976 to July 2006. I enjoyed those years tremendously and Branford Bike was often a labor of love. I hope you enjoy browsing through the archival catalog. If your visit brings back pleasant memories please share them with me via e-mail at timbrockett@gmail.com .

If you find any printed Branford Bike catalogs, advertisments or flyers please scan them as a PDF and email. Or you may mail them via US Post to Tim Brockett, PO Box 1711, Emigrant, MT 59027. Eventually I will post them in a Memorabilia catalog section.

Many Thanks and Best Wishes,
Tim Brockett
