@Smithy Love the chalk board idea. +1 eat plants Kickr Core is super quiet. I used to have to work out in my garage and it crushed motivation. That’s a pricey upgrade, though. One thing that helped me in the garage was having some place to toss clothing without interrupting my workout (e.g. having to be careful where I put it) or tossing it on the dirty ground. That way, I could leave my apartment and know that I’d be able to layer up/down as much as necessary based on whatever temperature it was going to be outside at the time. ---

I think the results here are skewed. The people with really nice pain caves love to share them. The people with dungeons, generally don’t. I say us dungeon masters start sharing our pathetic, dark, cluttered messes and without shame! ---

old fixie on a Kurt Kinetic, with a Power Tap hub. Used bike, used trainer, new hub was less than the cost of a nice smart trainer. No parts to sweat nuke. a 48 x 17 gives me everything I need during the winter. I don’t do sprints, but this gearing allows me to do anything from zone 1 to low zone 6. ![20171224_134127](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/2X/c/c74efcff26fb76f15fb26a59a89d53a7ca730d20.jpeg) ---

Begs the question… Why the Brake Hoods then? I hold onto the top or drops when doing TR workouts! ---

If he’s training to ride a normal road bike outside, the hoods are a very common hand position. Make sense to have it inside, for specificity… not to mention more options to mix up the loading on the body. ---

Exactly, Chad. The dummy hoods are there to have that hand position, so everything lines up like my road bike. ---
