Trainer accessories, pads, fans, stands and more

For comfortable use of the trainer, we bring accessories related to increased sweating during use, such as pads and protective blankets. A frequently chosen accessory is a pad under the front wheel, fixed axles and spare parts. For SMART versions of the trainers, tablet stands and ANT+ sensors allowing connection to a PC are available.

What accessories do I need for my trainer?

Depending on the type of trainer, you may need trainer tires, a block to stabilize the front wheel, a climbing simulator, a sweat protector or floor protector, a stand or table for the trainer to ensure stability, and possibly a bike computer or smartphone holder to track your workouts, adapters, fans, and other accessories.

Do I need specific tires for my exercise bike?

Although not essential, using a specific trainer tire can extend the life of your regular tire, as using a trainer with a wheel brake can cause increased tire wear. Trainer tires are designed to withstand the heat and friction created by a trainer, and often provide better traction and reduced noise.

What is a front wheel support block and do I need one?

A front wheel lift block is used to level your bike when mounted on a trainer. It helps maintain a natural riding position and prevents the bike from leaning forward. Although not essential, it can increase your comfort and stability during your workouts.

Are there any accessories to reduce noise and vibration?

Yes, there are several accessories available to reduce noise and vibration. These include trainer mats or sweat pads that not only protect the floor but also help absorb vibrations and reduce noise. Additionally, using trainer tires, as mentioned earlier, can also contribute to a quieter workout.

Are there any accessories to simulate outdoor driving conditions?

Yes, some advanced trainers offer features like electronically controlled resistance that can simulate different riding conditions, such as hills or other changes. These trainers often integrate with virtual training platforms like Zwift, which provides a more immersive and realistic riding experience.
