turbo on floorboards
Morning all,hope you are enjoying your rides.I have been in post op now for just under 6 weeks and hopefully back on the bike in next couple of weeks.However I am getting back on turbo shortly with the view to going on Zwift,shed is not ideal for the set up,was wondering has anyone had there set up in the house upstairs(wooden floorboards)if so,did you need to put anything down ? was it noisy below(over living room)? All replies fully appreciated.

Good point. And actually fruitcakes have something to be said for them also, even if they're a bit nutty.

I use a 99p yoga mat under mine.
thanks all
I use a camping mat under mine. Cheap and makes it a bit quieter.
I use my Tacx Flow indoors and upstairs on floorboards. It's not too bad but there's resonance at certain speeds which annoys the wife.
Recently I constructed a base for the Tacx which uses a piece of plywood with four circular holes (38mm) sitting on four tennis balls (about 65mm) acting as shock absorbers. Costs about £4 and works really well - gives the whole setup a bit of bounce and seems to really reduce vibration.
now that is a good idea
