Accessories for indoor training on the roller
A good trainer is the basic prerequisite for indoor training. If you want to make your "pain cave", the environment in which you pedal at home, even more professional, there are a number of products available. We have listed the advantages and show you where you can currently find particularly favourable prices:
- Bluetooth sensorsFor measuring speed and cadence if the trainer does not record this (all smart trainers with direct drive have a built-in power meter!)
- Floor mat: Because it dampens the volume of the trainers
- Welding catcher: To prevent sweat from dripping onto the top tube and handlebars
- Antibacterial spray: If the bike and trainer do get scratched, it cleans all surfaces without leaving any residue
- Heart rate monitor: To keep an eye on physical exertion beyond the watt values
- Laptop holder/side table: To place tablet or laptop close and safely on the bike
- Fan: So that the body doesn't heat up so quickly (regardless of this: drink more than when travelling outdoors!)
- ANT+ dongle: As an alternative to the Bluetooth connection and for devices that only communicate via ANT+ (e.g. some Garmin devices)
- TelevisionBecause training in virtual worlds with a large screen is more fun
