Here it is in the “ready to ride” mode. Still using my 1990’s vintage Computrainer. The old Trek…lives a life of hell, paint peeling off because of the sweat, but she keeps on keeping on. ![IMG_4801](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/2X/d/d9c7ffae7bddc568a3fda24c6375defd3fec92f7.jpeg) ---

Yeah, had them in a drawer. My wife surprised me with the framed race #’s and the mounted medals for my 60th birthday! ---

We’re quite fortunate that the corridors in our house are 5ft+ wide, so we don’t need to use a spare room for our turbo setup. A basement or garage might be ideal for coolness, but we have neither. ![IMG_20190123_142220](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/2X/0/0d4ce4c039d5ccb69308bb74cdecca1ee80d174f.jpeg) Mine is the Tacx nearest the camera, while my wife has the Elite Rampa by the window. Having bought me a Neo for Christmas she now wants one for herself, so the Elite may be short lived! The Cleva fan literally arrived an hour ago, so I’ve not had a chance to use it yet, nor set up a remote switch for it. I added inline switches to the power cables for the Honeywell fans which are attached to the underside of the shelf within reach, so they can be turned on or off from on the bikes. As you can see I’m a big screen-whore, requiring one for Zwift, one for TrainerRoad (on a gooseneck mount) and one for YouTube… I’m paying less and less attention to Zwift, so might switch that and the tablet around so I have YouTube/whatever on the big screen and Zwift on the tablet. If you’re wondering how the shelf stays there - the windowsill is about a foot deep and there’s a big stack of weights on the other end of the shelf! ---

They are awesome. Just be wary because the shipping on them can be extortionate (to Canada at least). I landed up getting mine shipped to my sister in the UK and then waited until my dad visited and brought them over for me. ---

A similar system that might be easier (read: cheaper) to get stateside is the Mountainsmith Hauler/Cube gear storage system. Very modular, very handy. Great at keeping kit separated and organized at home and in vehicles. Having a dirty laundry cube for after rides or while traveling is a lifesaver.

Those weights must be huge to counterbalance the leverage of those screens and other stuff? ---

> [@Scorpion756](#): > > Mountainsmith Hauler/Cube gear storage system. I have one of the original Mountain Smith bicycle cubes. Love it. Did not think it possible, but looking at [the link of the new cubes](https://mountainsmith.com/cycle-cube.html), I see they have improved it. Not cheap, but dang it is worth it. ---

It’s not on Mountainsmith’s own website anymore, but they apparently do still sell the original cube hauler systems on Amazon. The new ones look are pretty awesome - especially the cycling cube and cooler cubes - but I do like the simplicity and 4 cube capacity of the original system. [Amazon.com](https://www.amazon.com/Mountainsmith-Modular-Hauler-4-System/dp/B00EWNIXAK/ref=sr_1_1?tag=trainerroad-20). UPDATE: Listed as “Currently Unavailable”. Sorry. ---

I just counted for you: 42.5kg, but I think 30 was “enough”… ---

OT: How did you determine saddle height? My groin, calves and back of my knees hurt just by looking at that picture. Or maybe you use a pedal technique where you only tap the pedals at the power phase instead of pushing all the way to the bottom, like you would in a low inertia situation (MTB/climbing). I’m genuinely curious. ---

@osmondcreative is your saddle too high? Your leg looks nearly at full extension and that you’re pointing with your toes just to finish the pedal stroke at 6 o’clock. ---
