Rocker Plates for Trainers

This is also on sale for the same price at Wiggle. But for US buyers, the CR option is better with a lower delivery fee/upcharge. Might not matter for UK or EU buyers, but could be worth a doublecheck of both sides and fees for any potential buyers.

So… I have just backed this. The project has reached funding which is good news. I have now asked for confirmation if it will work with Stages SB20 - will report back.

The only snag I can really see is if the straps from the CURVEPLATE clash with the two vertical supports at the front of the bike.

Slightly off topic, but that’s bizzare as the two companies merged in 2017, and got bought last year

Yeah, I made the same comment in our FB group. I have no idea how that can differ so much with them both under the same umbrella.

AND when you return a product from wiggle in the uk, the return address is chain reaction !!!

Ha, that’s pretty funny :smile:

CURVEPLATE came back to me…

Yes, the Curveplates will work with your stage bike :+1:

FYI: the 2 CURVEPLATES are easily and quickly mounted. Place the front and the back stand of the Indoor Bike on the Curveplates and secure them utilizing the 2 Velcro straps from the set on each side. There are also 4 slots on each CP to fasten shorter and longer feet securily.

If you have any further questions please send us a message.

So looks like I will wait for deliver and report back - should be sometime late November I hope :crossed_fingers:t3:

Really excited to hear how Curveplate works with the SB20.

I tried a rocker plate and it just didn’t work well at all. The movement felt like a rolling sea hitting a boat slightly off-center.

This could be quite the gamble then! :joy: Whilst not super cheap (about £100 without shipping) its cheaper than the other option I was considering (Bespoke Rocker Plate R3) at £350-ish… Fingers crossed!

Rib style rockers do have a bit of a unique feel. The lateral movement is larger than most rockers, and the curve shape also plays a large part in the feel.

Many are overly stable for my taste and take larger forces to lean. Good for some, but not everyone.

Production has started on the CURVEPLATE - update shot of one of the first off the line…

Thought @AlphaDogCycling and @mcneese.chad might be interested.

Definitely.

Need a setup and first ride report ASAP :rofl:

For sure, I am curious to see how the rollout goes and what people think of them. It’s a great concept (and on I had in a more simple wooden form) so I want to see how it all goes :smiley:

Don’t worry as soon as it lands I will do some unboxing, setup photos and a ride report :grinning:

Anyone heard anything recently about the Rockr Axis? There was mention earlier in this thread about it and it looks like it’s for sale on their website, but don’t see any comments here recently or any reviews anywhere on it. I was thinking of getting it, but the dearth of recent info gives me pause.

They are actively shipping units now and we’ve seen some good comments in my FB group from a couple of the new owners.

Do you mind sharing how you like the TrainerTweaks rocker ? That seems to be the cheapest option with fore/aft that doesn’t require DIY. It might even be cheaper than several fore/aft DIY designs.

Well, I have received my shipping notification @mcneese.chad and @AlphaDogCycling

Sweet!

ETA tomorrow…! Might not get to play until weekend but will try and get some photos up if interested
