many cyclists who train indoors like to raise their front wheel while using the trainer to simulate the position of climbing. While this action may not change resistance or grade, it does change the orientation of the body moving the center of gravity slightly rearwards, which stresses riders in an different way. By alternating hand positions from the tops, to hoods, to drops, the cyclist can simulate the way their body feels on a slope up to 6%. The Elite Su-Sta Elevator block provides five manual height adjustments for road or mountain bikes (tires up to 2.25"). The stout oval design cradles the tire just as a normal wheel block will, but you can customize the height of the front wheel.

The sturdy plastic Su-Sta has rubber grip feet on either end to prevent slipping on hard surfaces. The non-marring rubber is very effective. The deep tire holding channel holds your wheel in place at any height. Unlike some other height adjustable riser-style blocks, the Su-Sta is essentially the same length and width as a standard wheel block, which makes it convenient in tight spaces, easy to travel with, and easy to store.
