Love it and would never go back to static. Before I would ride 1.5 hours and now 3+ no problem. The H3/MP1 was already good and one ride in with N2T/MP1 is feels even better.
It is a lot of $$ but got it 20% off during rei sale. I could have build a rocker but did not want the aggravation and it would not be like this.
There’s a whole other thread for rocker plates but this DIY one costs maybe $20 in material and 1-2 hours to build. I put polyurethane on mine to preserve the wood from sweat.
Clicked on the article and thought “huh weird I’m surprised this article wasn’t written by @mcneese.chad since this seems like his pet project” then realized that it’s all about his plans and video
Yup, that’s my baby alright. Eric and I had been in discussion about rockers since he sold the Co-Plate ones in the US for a short time. He offered to share my post and it went from there.
Hard to believe it’s almost 3 year since I posted that. But it worked and did what I wanted, jump start trainer motion exposure. It’s widely known, even for those that don’t want it, and we are seeing more expansion from small builders along with steps from the big guys too. More to go yet, but it’s all headed in the right direction 
Yes have at that building and I am sure it works as well. As I said I am happy with what I have and will never have to mess with it.
It was even easier for me since my dad was the one with the wood shop and some time on his hands to make it! Ha! It works great to add just enough natural motion for longer trainer rides. Did several 3+ hour rides several months ago with no issue.
I have all the tools, etc just did not feel like starting a new project as I like everything to be just so. Glad your plate is working.
After seeing the ride my wife completed today, it became very apparent that I had neglected a huge part of the cycling community. Inspired by my wife. #shewouldhandmemyarse 
Picked up this cannon of a fan today from Home Depot. 16" Commercial Electric Brand, $100
Also picked up a wifi plug to be able turn ON the extra, indoor AC unit before workouts (on way home from work or before I get up)
Any chance you could do an ironman triathlon themed one?
Hi Nick,
Yes there is. I’m just trying to source/license a suitable image(s). I will keep you updated 
Presumably you also fire up the BBQ and open the lid to simulate a particularly hot day at the Vuelta…? 
BBQ works as a good motivation 
What’re your initial thoughts on the that Commercial Electric fan? – looking at picking one up today
Happy with it, would buy again, it definitely puts out a lot more air than my Vornado fan (wife commandeered) (783 Large Stand Air Circulator – Vornado)
It is a bit louder but the blades are metal and larger so makes sense. Not that loud though, i hardly hear it with airpods in. Once I close the door of the gym, you can hardly hear it elsewhere in the house. The Vornado fan is good, but is a bit more narrow of a stream of air. This Commercial Electric fan fully engulfs from lower legs up to face. It’s 3 speeds, I haven’t needed to run it on full blast. The medium speed does the trick.
I’d be curious on winter temp issues (I’m a bit SW of you in Minnesota) and what a garage training experience might look like. Also what the trip to/from said garage would look like on those -30 or so C days…
Wow check out that industrial fan! How many decibels!?
