Smart trainer outdoor (balcony, terrace)

I keep my trainer on the balcony year-round. It’s covered, but sometimes it gets a bit wet when it’s raining sideways. I leave the bike on it pretty regularly too. So far so good.

Wicked! I don’t need more convincing :partying_face: what trainer do you use @dragan ?

I’ve used dumb trainers outside for a long time, no issues. Now I have a Kicr Core, I was using it outside but now it’s too warm in Brazil for that. It was used outside but stored inside, heavy rain is common and the trainer would definitely get wet. In addition, it’s hard to find smart trainers here so I have to be on the safe side.

Interesting. It’s the Kickr Core i want to get, great it holds up so well for you. Nice to bike in Brazil!!

I have a Kickr. Not sure which year exactly, I think the 2018 model.

PS

I meant that the balcony is covered and has a roof, but the trainer is not, it’s just there in the open.

Then it’s probably protected against most elements aside from cold and moisture. Good it’s worked out for you!
