Just wondering if there was an optimal position for 2 fans? I currently have one out front on the floor aimed up (where a front wheel would be), and a second off to one side at chest level so that it hits my upper body when I’m in the drops. There must be some marginal gains to be had in working o…

I prefer one bowing in my face/neck/ upper torso and one blowing on my lower torso. I don’t know if its best, its just what I prefer!

My preference is one blowing up from the front wheel position and one on a table in back of me blowing straight at my back. I use the lasco air dryer type fans

I prefer one straight on that blows head and upper torso and one on the ground that blows right at the chest.

My setup is similar to yours. One down in front of the front wheel blowing up hitting my knees and lower torso, and one off the left side ~30 degrees hitting my head and upper torso. It’s cool in my basement/pain-cave and I have the fans on remote switches so start out with none, then as I warm up…

The key thing is to position them to maximise sweat evaporation. anywhere your skin is staying wet or dripping is a missed opportunity to keep you cool and is a sign you need more airflow over that area. I find one on the ground in front aimed slightly up blowing on my legs chest and face and a ped…

Thanks for all of the replies. Definitely like having my remote control so that I can start with one and then increase as I progress. Seems like we all have similar setups, apart from the one front and one back. I’ve avoided that positioning because I wonder if they’d kinda cancel each other out wh…
