In reply to Ian. I doesn't matter for me, since I have the table just in front of my handlebars... not over them.

In reply to Ian. I am wondering the same thing. Did you ever find out?

I have a Wahoo desk and love it. I’ve attached a power board under the table to supply my MacBook and two fans. The table has a metal frame to support the plastic shelf so I’ve drilled two hole for self tapping screws which support the power board upside down. Very convenient to have the on/off switch within arm reach while clipped into the bike

I found this at Amazon not long after the review for the RAD Cycle Products portable fitness desk was posted here at Zwift Insider. I carefully examined all the specs and it seemed to fit my needs perfectly. I live in a two-bedroom apartment so conserving space is a must, and this mobile lectern/podium/laptop stand looked to fit my smart trainer setup very well - I use my living room for my pain cave, and break the trainer and tables down when I have company over. Before I purchased it I was using a pair of tray tables, on the right and left hand sides of my smart trainer setup, to hold a small fan along with my snacks, remote controls, extra water etc., and my laptop and mouse. The tray table with the fan wasn't the issue, but the one with the laptop I was having problems with as it was just too low relative to my ride height on my bike and trainer! In order to type and mouse while Zwifting, I would often have to lean a bit to the right to get my hand to the level of the tray table. This would become extremely hard to do as I became fatigued on long distance or hard effort group rides! I needed the laptop higher and closer to the handlebars. The two indoor cycling-specific design desks are nice, but definitely pricey (had the Conquer desk been available when I was in the market during this winter season, I probably would have coughed up the extra $65+ for it). This product I'm using is well designed, sturdy enough for a laptop or medium size monitor or HDTV, and rolls well on short ply carpet. It also functions as my laptop computer desk, I can type more comfortably now that the table is much higher. About the only thing I can bring up that is an issue is that the height is not adjustable on the fly - you have a knob with a bolt and the desk can only be adjusted in increments of 6 inches. Still, it's much better than the previous setup, since I don't have to lean over anymore!

In reply to Gary Crays. Sure, I’ve got a rocker plate and use the desk as well.

I bought the RAD desk. It works great for half the price of the Wahoo desk. I couldn’t see spending double the money for the Wahoo name. However, it’s now out of stock on Amazon, and they don’t know when or if it will be available.

In reply to DaveMac. I use a blower style fan on either side of me (no headwind). Provides great cooling. My FTP went up 12 watts just because I didn't overheat anymore.
