After testing a number of sit-up wheels, we have no shortage of points of comparison, and we can say that this wheel is very well made. So this is not the first wheel we test, but most of the time there was something in the way. Either the hand comfort was wrong, the size of the wheel, or the plastic handles did not grip properly. This one tends towards perfection. Its main asset, its size since larger than the average, it is very practical and also offers a good grip, but comfort and grip are not left out. All in all, everything is good.
This corresponds to most of the conclusions that we read when researching exercises on the web. Comfort of use
The ZeleSouris FJ-02 wheel looks like two drops of water like its sister the
ZeleSouris FJ-01 . What differentiates them is the diameter of their wheels which, as we will see, changes the behavior considerably / diametrically.
The system of double wheels that equips this device facilitates the balance and the stability during movement which makes it suitable for beginners and intermediate levels. Of course, more experienced users will also find their advantage.
The advantage of large wheels is obvious here. They allow movement that is more fluid and therefore controlled.
It is therefore a good product, easy to use but which nevertheless requires structured use to avoid injury. In addition, its use does not make noise. Be careful, however, when the wheels are in motion, the end of the grips can rub against the wheels and squeak slightly.
Its coating does not damage the floor (even delicate like parquet) and seems to protect the parquet of all scratches.
We can therefore say that this wheel is well designed and very pleasant to use since it offers a completely suitable comfort of use with its padded cuffs and its supplied carpet protects the knees well even if the thickness is low.

Assembly / Transport
Very simple assembly since 2 minutes are enough, despite the lack of instructions. Disassembly is just as easy. Particularly practical for transport in small bags.
Manufacture requires and like its brother, a really strong and unpleasant plastic smell (due to manufacture) transpires from the device. Fortunately, it disappears in a few days. The supplied carpet also smells like new, but again, this smell goes away quite quickly. Small flat also concerning the packaging which in our opinion is not very neat.
