mtgoat Posted July 28, 2017 Share I have an outside room at my house that i want to convert into an area for indoor training (yes permission has been granted from the Mrs). So this is a different kind of build. What would you do if you had a dedicated room? If you already have one pictures would be cool to see. But I am looking for ideas/thoughts. My list to start: Rubber flooring (NEED TO FIND)Gaming pc for Zwift (NEED TO FIND/BUILD)All current gearGood fan. I will post pictures of the room as I go.

Schnavel Posted July 28, 2017 Share Don't forget to get a surround sound system - you need some pumping music to keep you motivated! Grease_Monkey, Kalahari Vegmot, madbradd and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASG Posted July 28, 2017 Share mmm i don't think you need a gaming PC for zwift, You can make it work on something WAYYYY cheaper, OS: Windows 7 x64 bit, OSX 10.8Processor: Intel Core 2 DuoMemory: 4GBGraphics: 1GB dedicated GPU, or embedded Intel HD 4000/AMD R5 Hard Drive: 4GB of free space This is the minimum requirements for Zwift, Maybe looking at R3k so spend the rest of the cash on a nic BEEEEG TV and a super sound system to gooi Metalica when slamming that interval and a then with the change you can afford a BKOOL indoor trainer Edited July 28, 2017 by ASG dirtypot and mtgoat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacBrand Posted July 28, 2017 Share I would insulate the walls and ceiling properly as well (something like Isoboard).You also need a zink / prepbowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V12man Posted July 28, 2017 Share If you must have rubber floors - fine ones you can clean easily with a mop - those bumps are terrible to clean - always looks half clean.... perhaps a smooth vinyl floor or tile would be better. And you need a decent sound setup... and good wifi.... perhaps more than 1 fan as well. peetwindhoek, mtgoat, G e r h a r d Odendaal and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
