Apologies if this has been done before, I couldn't find a thread.

I'm looking to get the Wahoo Kickr Core so that I can still train over winter.
I don't mind going outside in the cold, but it's very boggy where I live so it'll be easy for me to think "nah" and stay indoors.

It will be set up in the garage, on a mat and I'm hoping to stick a decent fan in front of the bike.
I'm a bit concerned about the amount of dust in the garage that might be kicked up by the fan but won't know until I give it a go.

Just wanted to see what you guys have in terms of a set up. We have a baby coming in November so the spare room is no longer spare, I'd be setting up in there otherwise!

My setup which I started in October 2017 in my garage.

A Tacx Neo with my Canyon Aeroad mounted.
I use my iPhone for remote control for Zwift and also a remote for the fans, which I would start after about 10-15mins into the workout.

I'll add a photo later.

I have a V1 Kickr bike - a cheap 42" TV on the wall, Zwift running on apple TV - the Wahoo desk and fan - I use an iPad for Youtube / Netflix / Spotify etc - all in the garage with my proper bikes, treadmill and unfortunately all the other stuff that has to live in the garage.

It's hard to get a decent picture of mine as the back is against the wall and to the side is a multi gym.

The rocker plate is brilliant, as is the Neo Smart bike. Fan has a remote and I also have aircon in the garage.

I run it off my MacBook onto the TV. iPad for when I want to watch TV and Spotify on the Echo.

Love it.

Might be a daft question but what's the benefit of the rocker plate?
Does it simulate the side to side lean you get on a "real" bike?

I've seen various tennis ball versions on eBay but was never sure what they were for

It just makes riding a lot more comfortable to be honest. The only limiting factor for me now is boredom.

And it's much easier to sprint at full potential as you can replicate the side to side movement.

Edit: I meant to say the one I have also does forwards and backwards on a slider. Feels great.

Not the cheapest but a UK product with great service:
