Do you have info on those cabinets? Contemplating putting built ins in mine instead of rolling toolbox style.
This guy is just a franchise, so you should be able to locate them anywhere.

This is really interesting. Have you done many rides with this set up? Is it most (only?) effective in TT position.
No it works fine in an upright position too, it’s a large 20” fan and not particularly directional so it has a fairly good spread.
I do also have a small fan on the floor directly under me blowing up.
After a lot of hard work this weekend, this is what we’re looking at. The room is 1 half den/workspace, one half workout space. I have a fan on order for the trainer side, in the meantime, I will just move the fan. Run TR or zwift on my phone, use the tablet for watching youtube or whatever. I think I’m going to trade out the rug and mat for a giant gym mat, and then move that rug to the other side of the room, the den side.
what are the dimensions of this alleged “garage”? seems massive
@Dmortimer11 What bikerack is this? Looks kind of useful to stack two bikes like that. I guess it‘s mounted to the wall on the top, and just standing on the floor? Thanks and cheers!
I think it’s called the Michelangelo rack, there is a strap anchor on top, which I have not screwed to the wall. It is stable without, the strap would be to keep you from pulling it down onto yourself.
I think the building is 1300 feet per floor, 1/2 is the bike shop on the first level and 1/2 is a car garage. Second floor is a mother-in-law apartment. Yes, it’s a luxury and I’m blessed to have this at age 61. Sacrificed many many years.
good for you man. top 3 here i’d say
Getting ready to set up this basement space entirely for my training ![]()
Any reccomendations is well appriciated. Great inspiration in this thread.
Lasko blower - game changer!!! can’t recommend this enough
Rocker plate (DIY or purchased)
Art / motivation, including a place to hang your medals
Storage for your stuff (shoes, jerseys, nutrition, fuel, etc)
Mini fridge for post-workout goodies
Ceiling fan for overall air circulation
Floor mats for weights, high traffic areas
speakers, dont forget the speakers. Including your neighbors in your workouts is a must
If only Chad’s workout text was audio instead, preferably shouted by Jens Voigt.
Turn the amp up to 11 and have Jen’s shouting “shut up legs!!!” at 5:30 in the morning for the neighbors to hear.
Cannot find this in the EU

Lasko type blowers are available in the UK from another company
(I shipped mine to Belgium no problem)
See Vacmaster Cardio54®Headwind Fan & Remote Control for Turbo Trainer, Cycling, Running, HIIT - Only £99.99 – by Cleva and Vacmaster® Air Mover - Only £69.99 – by Cleva.
I got the 2nd one since the 1st one is new I guess. Remote would be handy but the air flow is massive ![]()
100% recommend the one with the remote… 3 different speeds, absolutely worth the slightly extra cost. When you factor in the non-remote version + the remote socket youll need anyway its a no brainer. Probably moves too much air for me in an uninsulated standalone garage in Scotland this time of year, but in the summer it makes a massive difference
Cant find how to ship to EU
( Denmark) ? EDIT: found it
+1 for the remote controlled Vacmaster if you want a Lasko alternative, you can find it on Amazon.
However, I had to return it because it was too powerful for my needs since I train indoors mainly in winter and my pain cave is my attic, where it gets really cold just by leaving the windows open. Also I found the airflow to be too narrow.
Then, I was tempted to buy the Wahoo Headwind but in the end I bought a 30€ remote controlled floor fan and it works great for me, the airflow is broader and it’s powerful enough. Unfortunately I don’t think it’s available outside Italy, but I’ll leave it here if you want to check the specs and find something similar: Ventilatore con telecomando e timer - 40 cm
