Turbo Trainer Advice

During winter I mostly use the Computrainer but I prefer to take my dumb turbo outside and use headphones when it gets less shitty weatherwise. You don't need a grand worth of turbo and a software subscription to hurt yourself.

You're not wrong although in my current state of fitness lifting the turbo into the garden from the garage would consist of hurting myself... :)

Mine is buried under loads of stuff so I've done a weight-lifting session just to find it.

I use mine to store my helmet on currently...

Mine is holding a vacuum cleaner, pressure sprayer, track pump and collection of shit that I just throw in the cupboard because ain'tnobodygottimeforthat

My 10 yr old Tacx Sirius sounds like it's on its last legs...It's magnetic (I think) and has 10 levels of resistance - so any recommendations for something similar would be great.

Best piece of kit I've bought for the turbo recently: a £2 head sweatband from Decathlon.

I want a Pat Cash headband now. Used to have one when I was a kid. And wrist bands. Because they were cool.

Headbands are the ultimate turbo accessory.

+1 to headbands, and wristbands for that matter. There is no sexier look than bibs + base layer + sweatbands. I have to practically fight the missus off me.

Base layer? dafuq?

Always tits out on the turbo.

Tried that. Too much nipple sweat on the floor

I have drop sheets.

I'm the 'Pocari' in Pocari Sweat.

I'm more into using Rapha base layers to capture my juices.

Wimps. Suffer like you mean it!

They reflect heat the wrong way, puny human.

Real men set themselves on fire before they train.

Your gym must be popular....

Just had an idea. A fan for turbo training that is connected via bluetooth or ANT+ or whatever to your powermeter, and adjusts fan speed according to how many watts you are putting out.

Who knows about electricity and shit and wants to get rich? Talk to me.

Oh and 2 axis tilt mechanism that can be adjusted remotely too, so you don't have to click clack across the floor to adjust the fan to stop pointing at your genitals.

Thermofan that adjusts to room temp.

Why would you want to stop it pointing at your genitals?

(my fan is actually behind me so I miss the thrill of blowing sand into my mangina)

I have my £15 3-speed fan positioned about a meter away from me at body level. Adjust based on RPE.

Why would you want to stop it pointing at your genitals?

Typo, of course I meant to ensure the fan points at genitals.

my fan is actually behind me

How come?

I miss the thrill of blowing sand into my mangina

At least the bum crack remains soothed.

Have I answered my own question?

Everyone prefers a tailwind...
