Like Rapha, dhb goes for bibless waist shorts, saving the fuss of removing the straps before the session is over. A compressive waistband and silicone grippers are designed to hold the shorts in place in the absence of bib straps. Great product for indoor training. Not cheap but amazing cooling effect.

Actually, that’s not quite true, I got it for Christmas from my wife. That’s right, I have given my permission for her to take paid employment.

The tablet holder itself accommodates the same tablet sizes as the Tacx Tablet Holder.

The '54' refers to the maximum air speed of 54km/h and on full gas it's overkill for anything except a full race effort. It's a great option if you're after some serious airflow in your pain cave. The Cardio54 moves a LOT of air, and when you've got the position dialled in it does an excellent job of cooling you down. The movement makes the time on the turbo more comfortable: you don't end up sitting in a fixed position and even small movements in the bike's position help to shift the weight on the saddle about to stop you getting sore or numb. The fact that that the bike can move under you also reduces stress on the frame; that's a good thing generally, but especially if your bike manufacturer doesn't warranty your frame if it's on a static trainer." That said, the Vacmaster seems to provide excellent air blowing performance (based on my limited experience).

The high power setting is fairly loud, but not in a vibratey-through-the-floorboards kind of way. It’s rare that I need this setting though – low power is fine for most of my training sessions (if we can call them that). In the past for indoor training] Most people opted for a bibshort and either a baselayer or short-sleeve jersey. A baselayer is OK, but often a little too snug fitting, and a standard jersey wets out and doesn’t breathe enough. Other people simply go topless, but garment technology now means you can draw sweat away from the body faster by wearing a single layer. I bought (requested the buying of) the Vacmaster some nine months into my indoor cycling. Until that point, I’d been using a cheap (I assume) desktop fan that makes more noise than air movement.

Ways of keeping corrosive sweat off your bike and the floor ought to be a priority too. Options here range from generic microfibre towel to bespoke sweat catcher with integrated smartphone window.

In spite of these gripes, this is a great option if you're after some serious airflow in your pain cave. The Cardio54 moves a LOT of air, and when you've got the position dialled in it does an excellent job of cooling you down. So cost is a non-event. Much like the output from my aforementioned quad-cannons. Vacmaster Cardio54 vs Vacmaster Air Mover
