Rocker Board?
A coach/US former US pro racer Adam Meyerson told me that he found rocker boards as much of an indoor training game changer as anything so far - including DD trainers, Zwift, etc.
Any of y'all use it? Im thinking of the cheaper one that only does side to side, not fore-aft. But I spend a lot of time indoors during work weekdays, etc.

My friend who lives in England got one for his Atom Wattbike and it’s resolved niggling back issues he has been suffering with. Absolutely loved it and won’t shut up about it…

You mean the rocker plate on which a trainer is mounted? I have the Saris MP-1 and it’s nice. Not sure about its game-changing status though. I’ve had it all of last winter and I still like it. But I think I could go back to a stationary situation and not worry about it.

wow that's pretty slick.
while i'd generally prefer to stick a hot spoke through my eye vs. using my indoor trainer, if i did actually use it more often like i should, that omni thing would make it a lot more engaging.  Quote:

I just got one of these for my Kickr Core. The fore-aft movement and rocking really helps keep things comfortable during trainer sessions. The rocking motion doesn't feel realistic, but I'm not on a trainer to do sprint practice...

I have a Rockr half board. Just use a couple planks and styrofoam for the front wheel. Feel that it really helps me on longer efforts in the saddle and especially for harder workouts.
You do end up with a slight bit more fatigue done your body is moving more, but it's way more natural feeling. Been using mine for about a year and can't imagine going back to life without it. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

I built one myself using two pillow blocks, an aluminum rod (all from Amazon) four of those little inflatable balls and a single sheet of mdf. It does significantly reduce the discomfort of sitting on a trainer bike.

Mr Pinky rocker plate
So simple to make. 4x4 plywood at Lowes and 2 inch wood dowel. Cut to length. At least 6 screws down the middle. Shave the Pinky rubber balls down to 2 1/4. inches. They are taller than 2 inches. I used 6 mr pinky balls. You can adjust how stiff the rocking motion is by moving the balls in and out.

rocker plate tuning
The thing I like about my set up is I don't have to mess with air pressure. All the ones that use a bladder style. You have to check every so often. Once I got my bouncy balls dial in. They don't move and I just forget about them.
Ive built 4 of these for my wife and friends. They loved how cheap and simple to use set up.
