Just finished putting mine together for the winter. Still need to dress it up a little, but all the important stuff is together.

The Suffercave- Trainerroad and Sufferfest

If you suffer you should recognize this screen. Not the greatest pic of my setup.


I prefer to ride in the dark for some reason. I switch off the lights in the garage so I only see the screen.
There is nothingon the ground, some bikes/surfboards on the walls. I have one fan blowing on me and surround sound.
It really has a cave feel to it. My special place, to suffer.

Swim with swimmers, bike with cyclists, run with runners. Train with those who are hard to keep up with. Soon you will be hard to keep up with.

recently downgraded to be a bit more spartan/HTFUish

That pretty lavish compard to mine. I'll have to shoot some pictures tonight or when I get a chance.

I see your budget requires you to share pedals with one of yoru road bikes. Sometimes compromises must be made.

@JayZ - I like the idea of the dual screens. Curious how you use with your training - what's displayed on each one etc and what are they hooked up to?

The right monitor is hooked to the laptop sitting on the table to the right. Its running trainerroad with virtual power. The left monitor is running a Roku Box, its for entertainment purposes only. I use it mostly to stream amazon prime.

How big are each of those monitors?

great place to train for mental toughness.. nothing to critisize... your a bad ass.

house like that and a great looking fam in new york, you must be in the mafia... are you hiring ?

You guys got some sexy rooms.

dude you really ought to think about putting a hot tub or sauna in there for after.. thats a really nice room ... dont skimp out

acdc rocks

Who said there isn't one?? You only saw one side of the room :)

Here is my cave. Of note, is my 36x57" stair runner carpet with rubber backing that cost $9 at a building supply store and a pillow used to dampen trainer noise.

How do you like that Vornado fan? I've got their cheap $20 model and on high it's too damn loud and not enough airflow.

I can't recommend it highly enough. It's three speeds: low, powerful, and knock your socks off.

23.6" ASUS Monitors. $163 at Amazon right now.

Oooo. I like that. I spent $50 on a rubber stall mat from a ranch store. Its nice and thick and quiet but the rubber stench is going to run me out of my entire house pretty soon.

question...why the book under the front tire? just started using indoor trainer a months ago....any advice / info is appreciated.

Are you using something else for sound or the internal speakers (does that model even have internal)?

I don't know if the model I have is that same one or not but it is a 24ish inch asus with hdmi and internal speakers. Been using it to setup the pc that will be dedicated to trainer road and with the pc and the monitor maxed it really is not loud.

For me it will just be displaying trainer road and a 32" tv will be used for entertainment (off the same pc) so just curious your experience with the volume level on it.

I've got 5 or 6 pieces of the stall mat.. and I stupidly like to drop my clean laundry on it all the time so I go pick up a shirt and it smells like rubber, gross.

I bought a mat for bike trainers and it seems to be pretty smell-resistant. My aerobar pads, that's a different story, but still not too bad.

I am renting so I got permission to rip up the carpet on my first floor leaving me with bare concrete. I then got several pieces of horse stall mat and a single piece of ply wood and the whole room now has a rubber floor with a wooden lifting platform.. Old pic earlier in this thread some place.

The monitors both have internal speakers, they aren't very loud. The trainerroad monitor is just loud enough for me to hear the beeps when an interval counts down. For the other monitor I use a bluetooth wireless transmitter and jaybird headphones.
