Opinions: Mat to put under IDT

[lechatnoir]

Is there anyone out there with a good suggestion on what to put down under an IDT? I'm currently using a sacrificial yoga mat. It's OK, but little grease balls still seem to get on the floor (thankfully tiles, not carpet). It seems to catch a lot of the grease dots, though care is needed to keep these contained

I'm using a absorbent paint drop sheet that I bought from Builders Warehouse. One of the blue ones.

I also use the painters sheeting.

We use gym flooring tiles, Sportsmans Warehouse offers a few options.

Works a charm and easy to clean.  I recently replaced the worn blocks after two years of heavy use.

Interlocking plastic mats, like the gym ones.

If you aren’t using a PeeMatt you are going hard enough

Seriously a plain old yoga mat works well

Not a question I ask men readily but what lube are you using?

 

I made the mistake of using squirt on my IDT bike, on a carpet. Moved to rock n roll gold, now no more mess at all.

I like your thinking but it should read PMAT HAHA  (http://www.pmat.co.za/) They are a bit small for that use but will give the room a good fragrance .

Yoga mat (thick one +/- 1cm) with a thin IDT ( elite) mat on top. Then I put one of those super absorbing camping towels under the bike to catch the sweat.

Plus a sweat catcher over the top tube and stem.

 

The towel and sweat catcher get washed regularly and the mats stay relatively dry and clean.

 

The thick mat helps with dampening sound as I live in an apartment.

I use a sheet of rubber dimple flooring mat. They sell it by the meter at plastics for africa. I don't use anything to catch the sweat I just mop it up afterwards.
