I will buy your concept 2 (hope I’m not derailing)
It is. I like it, it’s compact but solid, I wanted something that would not take up the entire room or have a gigantic starship Enterprise viewscreen up front, so this fits the bill. The Technogym Live app you use to set up workouts or sync them from TrainingPeaks works pretty well, and the treadmill does work with Zwift (although unlike the Technogym app, Zwift can’t control the treadmill.) My one complaint is that it only supports one Bluetooth connection, so you can only use one app at a time, which is kind of annoying.

Thx for the info ! It is indeed a very nice treadmill.
Bummer that Zwift doesn’t control it. Missed opportunity i think.
But what i understand it has something to do with liabilty (safety risk ?!). Peloton also doesn’t controls speed, only incline, as i have been told.
Home Depot can pre-cut all you need and they also have the tubes. Just make sure you get your measurements clearly because not all employees are used to those machines.

Would also need to fly to the US to do that 
Going to see how I can do that where I am. You got me thinking!
If you have round handlebars, this setup could be upgraded with this : www.lecodemorse.cc

Maybe TR should add this as a side pane when asking the survey? Or just replace the current buttons by this.
At one point, they had a integrated (?) button like a Windows Tool Tip. It was short-lived and removed due to bad data and/or other considerations they didn’t share.
I agree that they should offer at least the basic expanded info seen in their support article. There might be a specific feature request already covering this, but can’t search right now.
I’ll have to get some more pictures. I shockingly dont have any other than a screenshot of this video I took recently. My wife and I are pretty overboard considering we are not very fast lol. But we dont have kids yet, so my secret goal has been to fully trick out the basement before we do (although it started 10 years ago and I just keep adding lol).
His/Her kickr core setups with personal TV for TR/Zwift viewing. Treadmill. The other half of the basement is our strength area. Lots of weights, squat rack, rower, and vasa.

Finally have a dedicated pain cave.
Curious your thoughts if you would add/change anything.
I know the TV is a little too high but don’t want to mount it

TV ain’t too high & looks pretty darn good to me.
Great looking setup overall.

It doesn’t look too high to me either. Do you feel you’re straining (raising your head) to look at it? If not its probably spot on. If anything on my tiny phone it looks too low (but again if it feels right when you ride, your not straining, it is right IMO). Nice space btw

$100? I think I’ll stick with the ironing board. lol
Lower than my TV! Looks good.
Perfectly understandable if that works for you ! That is a small project where everything is made in North America in small batches, with recycled polymers that don’t come cheap at all. If demand is there, I sure hope this could be offered at a lower price but until then, this is the price point that allows us to keep working on this (which is still is 30$ under the current regular price of the Tacx model).

I am glad you commented. I would not have looked otherwise. This is really cool you guys!

In that case I should have been a little more tactful. Sorry, didn’t realise it was your product.

There is a phone holder attached to the cabinet in front of the bike for TrainerRoad, pods, music. I don’t have a tablet or wish to buy something else, my iPhone 8+ screen (current phone) is plenty big enough.
I very much dislike rocking plates. I made one and tried every variation of pivot, rebound resistance and rebound placement. The opposite factor throws me off big time and I couldn’t get past it. I tried and tried. I don’t care to try anymore. This Kickr Core also seems to allow the bike to dip to the right side if I stand up or sprint, so I built this platform to stabilise everything. It’s a locker plate. However, because it’s locked in, I still don’t do a road-style sprint or anything with torque because I don’t want to over stress the steerer. I should have included a lazy susan in the build but I mostly used what was in the garage. It did solve the right side listing, though, so I can at least stand and pedal evenly now.
Bands, glute ham roller, other stuff hidden inside the cabinet. Bike stuff mostly hidden in the various containers in the shelves.
I print and place surface designs I’m working on above the cabinet but need to paint or print something large for above the bike.

I’m finishing up a revamp of my basement—will post pics when it’s done (still waiting on some storage components to be shipped). I am, however, looking for recommendations for a speaker setup. Ideally, I could pipe in the TV + Bluetooth connectivity. Here’s the rub: I want as few wires as possible. I’m open to mounting speakers on walls, but that requires wire management. Suggestions?
I wouldn’t go speakers, but rather Bluetooth ear buds. It’s a better experience than blasting the sound over the trainer and fans noise.
