On the bright side, the wheels do have locks on them, which helps…assuming all those legs actually fit on our table top.Ībout the only quirky part here was inserting the table top into the base. I put the wheels on first (stupid idea), then put the legs on. I wouldn’t recommend building a rolling table on top of another table. In my case, I selected to do so on the most awkward surface I had – the unboxing table. Putting together is pretty straightforward. Here’s a close look at those pieces for fun:Īnd, the unboxing section is done. – A quick-start manual you might actually read Perhaps those boxes say ‘Amazon’ on the side.Īfter I removed all the parts, here’s what I’ve got: Now though, it’s in a boatload of places under different names (all linked at the end). It was the only place I could find it earlier this year in Europe in-stock. In my case, I bought mine (at full price) from Chain Reaction, which is owned by Wiggle. As well as the Sharpie’d quantity for that lot. It’s just a cardboard box imprinted with the product name and the retailer it was destined for. But hey, it costs less than half as much in most countries, and I’ve been using it for most of this year, side by side with the KICKR Desk. The TDLR: It’s better than the KICKR Desk in most ways that matter but isn’t quite as sexy. But realistically, I can’t make any promises. I’ll try my hardest to keep this review shorter than 12,000 words. Now, if you’d like to see this thing in action, then just hit play below. I assume they have 32 other names in various countries they go by. Note: I’ve never talked to said random company. And thus, this is my review of that desk. This time the Lifeline Cycling Trainer Desk. And implemented both of them, for half the price.Īnd so, because obviously I need two KICKR/Wannabe KICKR desks in the DCR Cave, I went out and bought another one (at full price too). Instead, a mostly no-name company was apparently this listening. Both of which could easily have been rectified down the road in minor revisions. But in that initial review there were only two complaints I had with the original Wahoo design. Yes, I love the Wahoo KICKR Desk I bought nearly 5 years ago, as does almost everyone that buys one (despite the price). But, there’s also a point in time for every company to innovate on existing designs or address noted shortcomings. I think there’s valid reasons why you should support the engineering pipeline of companies that do that original innovating. The difference though? It actually has more features…for less than half the price. This ‘I can’t decide what I want to be called desk’, is almost a direct knock-off of the KICKR Desk. Want the Wahoo KICKR Desk (which work with any brand trainer), but can’t exactly justify spending $250 on an indoor trainer desk? No problem, there’s an alternative – the RAD Cycling Desk, also branded as the Lifeline Cycling Trainer Desk, Vinsetto Cycling Desk, Conquer Cycling Trainer Desk, as well as some truly special brand names like PPWear, CXWXC, etc….
