My evolving Google Doc meant to cover a range of Rocker Plate Info . What is a Rocker Plate? A “Rocker Plate” is a device used to add one or more motion (degree of freedom) to an otherwise rigid bike & trainer combo. Most designs sit on the floor, and then support the bike, trainer and rider on top…

DCRainmaker commented that they were really expensive giving me the idea that Garmin was pricing them in comparison to their competition (the Saris, etc) and not what they likely cost to manufacture. Who am I to deny a corporation the chance to make a profit, but it would seem they are ‘artificially…

[image] Deleteme: The MP1 is $950? I thought it was cheaper than that, wow It debuted and sold for a year or more at $1200 USD, so the current price is “better”. But I never liked that rocker in the first place, with the price as the absolute “no -deal” side for me. IMO, there are better roc…

DC summing up his review: Ultimately, you’ll have to decide for yourself whether or not the price is worth it. For me, I will likely pick up a set of these for my older NEO 2 in the shed, simply because of the limited space and me predominantly using it for less frisky workouts. But, it’ll still f…

[image] New trainer concept from DNAK Equipment This is the kind of thinking that is required to spur a “second wave” of trainer purchases. Greater accuracy, more wattage capability, etc. ain’t gonna cut it. You need an enotrely new user experience. Will be interesting t…

[image] mcneese.chad: Yeah, it is pretty much just cut plywood right from the CNC router. I build rough stuff like that and tend not to put much time into finishing. But the work you mention is a good way to go to give it some nice looking details. Would love to see what you end up with when you…

That tuned out great! What do you think of the rocker?

[image] mcneese.chad: What do you think of the rocker? I think it’s a good deal for the price. My fitter (Jerry Gerlich) had one of those Rock and Roll trainers. I liked the idea of working on some balance skills, like rollers plus something less boring than being on a stationary trainer.

I always :smiley: when I hear about fitters using motion setups. It is a decent swing at closing the gap between static fitting and feel outside. Glad to hear you like it for the money. I think it’s about the best deal for the price point.
