Best type of fan for a turbo trainer?

Inutero

Having just bought a turbo trainer and ended up sweating like pig after a 30 min session, can anyone recommend one sub £50? Or would i need to spend more? The only space I have for the turbo is on the bedroom, so there's not a great deal of space left. What's the best type, standing or floor?

Thanks.

I've got one of these. It is good enough (although not in a hot room)

Placed to one side blowing up on to me.

Looks the same as the ones Screwfix do, same price as well.

Cheers guys, will get one of those when there back in stock. Out of stock on amazon and screwfix

50 quid? I thought Screwfix sold them for £30.

I would definitely wait a while as Screwfix often have sales; you may be able to pick up two for £60.

I find mine a bit underpowered at times - I have to put it on a table so it's closer to my body. This kind of defeats the object of buying a floor fan. Would definitely recommend getting two so as to get extra cooling.

This sweaty stuff is something else. Didn't realise I could perspire so much...

With summer over they'll drop back to £30

i use both of the fans mentioned above while training on the turbo. it's still not sufficient for cooling!

one of these perhaps...

when i was at canterbury uni they had a massive fan. it's a good few years ago now, but i seem to think it must have been as tall as me!

Ive a pedestal fan thats about level with my head when I'm on the turbo. I have it blowing from one side and helps keep the sweat off the bike.

worth considering one of those cheap radio-controlled remote power switches. You might not want the fan on at max intensity when you first start but will when going full out.

Anyone know a mail order place that actually has a fan in stock at the moment?!
