Best height for device when training

Equipment

What do you think is the best height/placement for the TR screen/dashboard when training?

I have it placed about a meter directly in front of me at about chin height when sitting in normal (arms slightly bent, so kind of aero) position with hands on the hoods.

What you say?

“Best” is relative to the rider, their goals and the specific equipment.

For a large display like a TV or monitor, I feel it’s good to have the center of the screen aligned with the “normal” forward looking position of a rider on the hoods (or whatever is your main position). Aim to have a similar body and head position as outside riding.

  • For me, this is a 40" TV, about 2 feet in front of my head, and the center about 1 foot higher than my bars. I also tilt the screen back about 10* which makes it more “realistic” looking, especially when using first person view within Zwift or watching POV riding videos.
  • We often see people with high mounted TV’s and I see it is problematic and awkward.

Here are a couple of shots of the my setup as it evolved:

er…the height that the only mobile chair on wheels I have in my flat is - with my tablet on that…propped up by a copy of “The Crippled God” by Steven Erikson…part 10 of an epic fantasy series which in this case has the important property of being the longest book I own and thus good for leaning my tablet on in the hall! :laughing:
