Using a turbo inside an Asgard

Posted on
  • Was planning to buy an Asgard to store the bikes securely in the garden but my wife has suggested buying a bigger one so that can use turbo in it. (And get it out of the house)

    Issues that I’ve come across so far:

    Height - tallest I can see they have is 200cm at apex, I measured approx 195 sat on the turbo

    Power - potentially run an outdoor extension as don’t want to drill the Asgard and invalidate its security

    Wifi- can prob use a booster but it will be boosting another booster rather than the router

    Insulation - Im a sweaty monster so I’m less worried about this

    Noise - turbo +/- a fan in a steel box could be interesting!

    Anything else? Open to alternatives but security is paramount especially after chased off a couple trying to break in to the house last week!

    Thanks

  • I’d be worried that you’re going to fill it with moisture and rust the bikes

  • I can't imagine many things worse than doing turbo sessions in a sealed metal box that's barely big enough to fit a bike + rider, to be honest

  • We have a small, hot, windowless room at work that we have joked about putting a white noise machine in and doing tortuous, sensory deprived roller sessions in.

    What you are suggesting sounds worse.

  • sounds like some sort of torture method, or a weird version of the Great Escape where Steve McQueen has a turbo instead of a baseball.

  • If he'd had that and used a BMX he might have cleared that fence.

  • I dunno. I think cycling in Asgard would be quite fun. Finding it might be tricky.

  • I like being compared to McQueen! Yeah points taken although I’d plan to use it with doors open and a small dark box isn’t what worries me about being on the turbo.

  • This is one of the worst ideas ever. Say no to wife, problem solved.

  • Put wife in box?

  • Yeah... Would be a bit dark in there TBF.

  • Looks like on balance people feel this isn’t a goer

  • Its everything I've never wanted!
