Show us your winter Pain Cave

[Hairy]

Cute

 

Nice big space to train and tools are neat.

I keep threatening to mount my tools like that ... but keep realising I need to get more tools first

Makes working on bikes much easier. The rest of the tools are in the boxes underneath the worktop and in the "I LOVE YOU DADDY" cupboard!

Coming out of a Korean winter got some serious use out of this little corner of pain...

 

Summer allowing me to get out more, but as it was said earlier, cant beat the convenience of IDT... (and yes, i need a bike stand)

Sweet setup mate.

Serious envy from this side... I want a pain cave???? But will have to start from nothing

 

So you need a basic road bike (don't have), a decent IDTwith software (don't have), a laptop (do have), and some sort of cadence/wattage meter?

 

Is it possible to download training videos or is everything on the net (cloud based)?

 

What would you guys recommend getting?

 

Sorry, completely clueless regarding this... I am a weekend mtb hacker......????

Your mtb can go on an IDT if you get the right model, do no need for a road bike.

Smart trainers typically have some form of internal method for measuring power, so you don't need a power meter.

 

Going for a "dumb" trainer instead, a power meter would be very beneficial. Technically you can just ride in heart rate, but power is better if you're at all serious about this.

 

Cadence is nice to have, along with heart rate. You can get sensors from someone like Wahoo.

 

As die videos and such - some can be downloaded, some you stream. I typically use Trainer Road at the moment, which doesn't do videos out of the box, though you can apparently add third party videos. Haven't bothered with this myself. I just have the graphs and then Youtube or something playing next to it.

Thanks. My current ride does not have a thru-axle. Planning to upgrade my 2012 mtb later this year.

 

Was looking at having a semi-permanent setup.

Not sure what the significance of having a thru-axle is? If anything, quick release is easier, as you'll have to get the appropriate fitting to fit a thru-axle bike, which may or may not be a pain.

Thru-axle for changing the wheel to a slick everytime. . .

 

I have used a very cheap trainer before and didn't like the cups holding the quick release - too much external force on the axle.
