UPDATE : I finally managed to have some units made and set up a shop to sell a few ! [https://www.lecodemorse.cc/en](https://www.lecodemorse.cc/en) Sold about 10 last week among my cycling circle and comments have been outstanding. I hope this can upgrade your pain cave as well ! [https://www.reddit.com/r/Zwift/comments/wedxib/new\_rig\_for\_rainy\_days\_and\_winter\_training/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=ios\_app&utm\_name=iossmf](https://www.reddit.com/r/Zwift/comments/wedxib/new_rig_for_rainy_days_and_winter_training/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) Hi everyone, I designed this tablet holder as a pet project during the pandemic and I am quite happy with the result. I’d like to collect some feedback from other indoor cycling enthusiasts. Bottom line is : would you want to buy it if it was commercialized ? - you can install it without removing your garmin unit - works up to 32 cm drops - made from biodegradable polymer - there is a gel/airpods holder ---

Looks awesome. I’m sure there’s a market for it. ---

I have a Tacx Handlebar Bracket for Tablets. not as much room for other stuff on the bars as in the above pictures though. ---

Would that have been enough to choose it over the tacx if you had the choice at the time ? ---

Looks good, but I use a table. ---

I use it for my cellphone as well, if i am the one that has the TV. It’s overkill for a phone but allows you to use it without sweating on it and it stays in my field of vision. ---

**That. is. amazing!** It even fits a large 13” iPad (most tablet holders don’t). And you have an AirPod Pro case holder!! **If you put it on Kickstarter, I’ll preorder it the same day. I’m dead serious.** The only thing I’d add is a second cradle for snacks per default. ---

Yeah I’d be interest. I don’t like my Tacx one. ---

It fits up to a microsoft surface tablet ! ---

I use TR on my 13” iPad Pro and the tablet holders I have seen do not accommodate it. So I was super happy to see that yours does. Is there some sort of rubberized coating on the clamps that interface with the handlebars? I wouldn’t want love marks on my carbon bars. ---

There is two sizes of clamps to accommodate MTB bars or thicker bar tape and the surface is quite smooth. A rubbery finish could be an upgrade idea, but right now the option would be either a layer of bar tape or simply a turn of electric tape. ---

Sounds fair. Probably you’d want to do a v2.0 after sending out the first batch. I bought a pair of cycling shoes designed by a podiatrist in Australia. The fit is spectacularly good (I have wide feet), but there were quite a few v1.0 bugs to work out. A lot of them are just things like “rotate the dial by a few degrees” or “use a slightly different material here”. Have you thought about a price? ---

Without scaling up anything, the first batch could be sold at 70-75 USD, shipped. Edit : there could be an option to send the device partly or completely dissassembled, which would reduce drastically the shipping AND the unit cost (between 15 and 25 dollars) ---

If assembly is fairly simple and requires only standard bike tools, I’m ok with that. ---

This looks really good. It’s be great if the airpod case spot was big enough to hold an iPhone. ---

Oh definitely would buy disassembled. Option for 2 accessory trays would be ideal. Let’s get this going before Winter hits 😆 ---

Me as well. I always struggled with a music book holder (whatever it’s called) But it broke. And I don’t have space in my garage anymore for a big desk like the one from wahoo. I have my old biike permanently on the Tacx, bikes for the kids, my wife’s bikes, my own bikes and a big cargo bike. So this solution would be great for people with limited space!
