My Ultimate Zwift Cycling Setup - Pain Cave Tour

[@rosscourtnell5260]

What a place! 🤤

[@JamesPedals]

It looks fun but can be a horrible place to be on a Zwift race ;-)

[@AdamJohnson-u1g]

Sweet set up mate - nicely thought out and thanks for sharing!

[@billyhockley626]

Yes James sick gaff

[@JamesPedals]

Thanks Billy! its taken a long time to evolve to this

[@yahyaashaikh3877]

Cracking Vid James!

[@JamesPedals]

Aprreciate it Yahyaa!

[@peterneish]

I’m also wondering if you have a link to the tv bracket you used at all please? Thanks!

[@JamesPedals]

Sure here you go - amzn.to/3qUOTfB

[@WhiskeyVeloSmith]

Great video and pimped out suffer shack!

[@JamesPedals]

Thanks Alex!

[@CycoWarriorx]

Love the setup… 🍎🤜🏽🤛🏽

[@JamesPedals]

Thank you!

[@RATM1971]

Nice setup, but why the 4k TV? Apple TV 4k only does HD resolution on Zwift.

[@jamescoulter8413]

Great set up, thanks for sharing.

[@JamesPedals]

Thanks James, I get alot of questions so thought I would share my setup

[@jakobfriesen9561]

You live my dream 🤗

[@drmbeko]

Your pain cave is fantastic and simple.

[@JamesPedals]

Thanks Mohamed!

[@Krilin84]

Very nice setup. Thanks for sharing!

[@JamesPedals]

No worries, I have made a few tweaks so will post an update video soon

[@skipwalker1954]

Awesome setup. I just got my Wahoo Kickr bike. First ride is today!

[@JamesPedals]

How are you finding it?

[@MrShishaSeb]

Hello , Nice video . Did you stream your races with the Apple TV ???

[@chrispritch]

amazing set up!! love it!

[@JamesPedals]

Appreciate it Chris!

[@GHExploration]

Very good set up, I'm only basic, but it does the job for now.

[@JamesPedals]

Thank you, this is overkill. I spent years just on a dumb trainer with no zwift or anything

[@MarkSmith-kc5wn]

Great video, very informative

[@JamesPedals]

Thank you Mark!

[@GingerBoy1974]

Hi 👋, great set up. Do you connect your keyboard to Apple TV? I.e. control zwift via keyboard. Ta

[@JamesPedals]

Thanks man, yeah I do… use it to chat and for power ups and other features on the Apple TV

[@GingerBoy1974]

@@JamesPedals thanks. I wasn’t sure if you could do that with Apple TV. Think it only has 2 spare Bluetooth connections so I need that for power and HRM. Or do you connect via your zwift companion app on phone? Therefore allowing more BT connections

[@JamesPedals]

@@GingerBoy1974 I have my bike, HRM and the keyboard connected and have other Bluetooth devices (not connected to Apple TV) being used in the room without any interruptions/issues

[@spirro78]

James what are the LED backlights you refer to with your desk setup?

[@jcb3354]

what TV mount are you using?

[@aaron_quinn1482]

How much was the building itself, if you don't mind me asking. Thanks

[@JamesPedals]

Hard to give an exact cost but cost around £5k mark with the base… was made whilst having other building work done to the house and much cheaper than buying a pre made one.

[@kevinpledger3333]

The Omnirocker Rocker Plate looks good. How does it compare to actually riding your road bike. I would like to get one, but at present they dont ship outside the UK.

[@JamesPedals]

Hey Kevin, yeah slight differences and takes a little bit of getting used too but completely changes the experience and comfort of riding indoors for the better.

[@grahamterry3340]

Great pain cave James … amazing set my dream 👍

[@JamesPedals]

Cheers Graham! I love it

[@Siilverpants]

Cool setup! The storage you have below the TV, what sort of "cabinet" is that? I am looking for one as well, as its the only thing missing from making my setup complete.

[@JamesPedals]

It’s just a cheap TV storage table off Amazon but does the job and isn’t too big

[@peterneish]

Smashing pain cave!!! Do you find that the wahoo desk inhibits the fan at all?

[@JamesPedals]

Thanks, erm can do If its too close and depending on the height. How I have it setup it’s perfect

[@peterneish]

@@JamesPedals thanks James

[@terryhill5549]

Thanks.

[@liam_c27]

I nearly have this setup, just saving for the Omnirocker! Was thinking of getting a wireless keyboard, is the apple tv able to handle this many Bluetooth connections? (Kickr bike, HR monitor + keyboard) Is it just used for navigation & in game chat? Thanks!

[@JamesPedals]

A worthy investment… yeah the Apple TV handles it all without a problem

[@JamesPedals]

I use it for the in game chat and whacking the space bar for a power up mid race

[@liam_c27]

@@JamesPedals Awesome! Will grab that logi one you have 👍that the one with with sealed keys?

[@liam_c27]

@@JamesPedals Can also use the button on the right hood tops for powerups since update! 💨

[@JamesPedals]

@@liam_c27 yeah that’s handy and have to say I barely use the keyboard anymore unless on a group ride

[@crankgreenwatts]

Very nice setup indeed 👌 May I ask what keyboard you use with the ATV please ❔

[@JamesPedals]

Thanks Phil, appreciate it... I am using the Logitech Keys-To-Go bluetooth keyboard, works well with the Apple TV is spill resistant which I took to be good for sweat ;-)

[@ScottSuine]

@@JamesPedals Great video. Looking to upgrade to the Kickr bike from my kickr core. I am currently using the ATV as well, but due to the limitiation on bluetooth I only can conenct my core and Tickr HR strap. How do manage to connect the keyboard, HR strap and the Kickr bike to the ATV?

[@thecyclingsoldier6732]

Great cave James!! looking forward to your KZbin journey

[@JamesPedals]

Thanks Sean! I am enjoying learning and improving making content

[@fezzwheel2572]

Looks great, just a quick question. What are the dimensions of you room?

[@JamesPedals]

Thank you, pretty small 3x4m planning on making it bigger but it works for now.

[@fezzwheel2572]

@@JamesPedals Thanks mate, just trying to visualise how to use pain cave space knowing what dimensions to work with.

[@Igai99]

Wow this is really a dream cave! Could only be topped if there would be a homegym next to it :)

[@NeilLavitt]

Perfect setup! Something to aspire to. What, if anything would you change?

[@JamesPedals]

Thanks Neil, IF I had built the building with this in mind originally I would of made it bigger but in terms of my Zwift setup I am very happy with it so can't think of anything off the top of my head.

[@vincerunnerretrobikevince4212]

Could you take a video of the actual structure (building) of your pain cave? I need ideas to build in our yard.

[@nickheathcock3358]

Hi James, great set up! I also have the kickr bike and the Omnirocker plate, love them both! I'm looking at getting a 40" screen, can you let me have the model of your Samsung please?

[@JamesPedals]

Thanks Nick! how are you finding the rocker plate? The TV is I'm using is a Samsung UE43TU7000 43" Smart 4K Ultra HD TV With HDR10+ and Crystal Processor 4K

[@familiekontoen1955]

If possible, try and find a tv that does picture-in-picture. Then you can both watch TV and Zwift on the same screen.

[@SimoneChiaretta]

I’m setting up my own paincave. Very nice tips. Would be nice to see the full layout of the room and how desk is located respective to the trainer

[@JamesPedals]

Great idea! to simplify it takes up about a third of the space in the room

[@ssaini5028]

@@JamesPedals nice setup, try using zwift on a projector..its a whole other experience.

[@mattfreeman2952]

Does it not get cold in the winter?

[@JamesPedals]

It can do, luckily i have heating as well as air conditioning
