I don't see many fans, either you're all not trying hard enough or they're out if shot? Surely you can't turbo properly without a properly big fan?

I just did 1hr45 at moderate effort and was dripping like a joint of beef, even with a pretty big fan.
I can get a reasonable draft with the windows open - keeps the condensation down, too.

This is the tidy end of my garage. Wahoo Kickr delivered today:



Fan required - I've not used one even during summer sessions on my previous turbo.

That iPhone(?) on the top tube is in for a soaking.

Here is my chamber with me being tortured. Big fan just out of shot to the left.

Cheeky st!

That angle makes it look a lot worse. It's my hunkered down sprint posture. Need to perfect it for those photo finishes.

I never use a fan. In fact I start off in a thick hoody to get a good sweat up. I reckon I lose a pint of fluid in an hour long session.

Plus taking on the same in iced water.

Heres mine. Job for next weekend is tidy the flat! The joy od living by yourself, spending 65 - 70 hours a week at work / commuting and most of your weekends outside means your never in to see the mess. Basically its a messy hotel room.
