Your cart is empty.At cycleops, we realize at the heart of every cyclist is a better cyclist. Not better as defined by speed necessarily, rather by progress, improvement, the setting of goals and reaching them, and by having fun along the way. Coming from a manufacturer of indoor cycles and trainers, we understand that it may sound a little self-serving to say that a Trainer can and should be an integral part of this self-improvement journey. But it's true; trainers are extremely efficient and effective, and can be used throughout the year to help you reach your fitness goals. Add cycleops virtual training and indoor training no longer needs to be viewed as an act of basement torture. We'd even go as far as saying that indoor training can now actually be, well, fun.

El producto no es como lo promocionan. No tiene la bolsa para controles en la parte frontal.

The product itself is a good product but it is not as pictured. The one I received had a clear plastic protector for a phone across the portion by the handlebars. The problem is the protector is right where most of my sweat drips. The good news is that you can easily remove it with a seam ripper or sharp blade. The image shows the protector in place but after I removed it. What would have made it more useful was to have the shield use velcro around the whole thing and not be sewn on.

Disappointed to open my package today and get something different from what it’s advertised. The sweatvuard is there but only for a small part of the top tube, the rest is covered with a plastic, yes it’s a pocket but you cannot reach into it easily because you have to take Velcro off from under it.I was going to give it a try but I read someone’s review from yesterday; as I had a second look at what I ordered because I remember a different product, not what I received.I don’t want to try it because it is obvious that plastic is not going to absorb the dripping sweat, it will cake on and most likely you would have to scrap it off to access your phone.I understand that products can change but the photo on the product description needs to be updated.I am returning this product. Disappointed.

This does exactly what it's supposed to. Is it necessary? No, but I like having it and it allows me to put my iPod in the remote pouches which is really handy. It's easy to install and covers the bike well without getting in the way of my legs. The only thing I don't like is the elastic band that attaches to the seat post. It seems really cheap and the elastic ability doesn't seem to last very long. It will still work, but I still like for things I buy to perform how they are intended for longer.

This product performs as expected. You may live without one, perhaps using a towel instead. However, this is much better than using a towel, for three reasons:(i) it is flexible enough and can be separated in 2 pieces, allowing use in bikes with aerobars (something you only realize later) but without the pockets;(ii) it stays firmly in place;(iii) it covers a wider area.

I have a Kinetic Fluid Trainer but decided to go with this CycleOps sweat protector because of the additional attachment that can hold my phone and my TV's remote control. It's worked as expected, still a significant amount of sweat falls on the mat but I think that's expected regardless of brand. I'd rather have that than a wider towel that brushes up against my legs.

Muy práctico para salvaguardar el cuadro del sudor. Elegí este modelo por la calidad/precio y sobre todo por el detalle de tener un soporte para mandos de televisión,movil o ipod que para mí es muy práctico. Eso es lo que lo diferencia del resto...

I purchased this as a gift for my wife and she loves it. She mostly wanted the pocket pouch that drapes over the handlebar for storing remotes and her cell phone while using the bike trainer but the sweat protector is nicer than what she expected.This product is well worth the purchase.

It doesn't do more than a towel would, so you're paying for the integrated-looking design. Most of my sweat falls from arms and elbows to the sides of the skinny part of this thing, so it ends up on the ground anyway. It does protect the bike somewhat, I suppose.Also, the remote pockets don't work with aero bars, and the velcro for the thong itself is tricky to install with aerobar elbow pads.

This does the job but with a little too much slack for my liking. It also gets in the way a little of a stem mounted bike computer.

Until I bought this, my only association between cycling and thongs was spotting novice women riders on tours who wore their t-back panties with unpadded running tights instead of proper cycling shorts with nothing underneath. (TIP for Women, and some guys I suppose: We guys LOVE seeing this, it's very sexy, but you would be far more comfortable with a pair of padded cycling shorts sans underwear; the seams on the underwear alone can cause you a lot of discomfort. It would be improper to tell you at that particular moment why we suddenly thought to recommend cycling shorts, so there it is.)Anyway, yes indeed, it looks like a thong. My wife said it looks like what sumo wrestlers wear.All funning aside on what it looks like, what it does is keep corrosive sweat off your bicycle paint and frame as well as from dripping into mechanical parts where it can cause component life shortening and performance sucking corrosion. The bike thong is also very effective at keeping sweat from forming a puddle on your floor. By comparison, towels are pretty much useless.Sure, a towel will keep sweat from getting on your bicycle, but only about as well as a plastic bag. Much of the sweat bounces and rolls off the towel, getting on pretty much everything surrounding you. And when you ride your trainer 45 minutes every day, that's a lot of stankin' sweat to be spreading around some part of your living space.The bike thong takes it all in without putting the wet terry cloth on your bike, and like the towel it's washable (best to put it in a net when you wash it), so you don't stink up the place.Some will say they don't mind getting sweat on their bike--just wipe it off--but do you really want to get salt water in the mechanical parts of something that costs the average rider $1500 when you could prevent that damage for $22?Note also that this item comes with the handy, removable pockets attachment whether it says so in the description or not. The packaging is a single, sealed plastic bag with both the bike thong and accessory pockets attachment inside.BOTTOM LINE: The Bike Thong wins over the towel and/or cleaning up after yourself.

I was disappointed when I got it because the thong is not wide enough and sweat still falls on the frame, the elastic band that goes around the seatpost is also too long and the thong feels loose.Also, it interferes with my computer mounted on the handlebars!!The part that actually holds the remotes is completely detachable from the thong so I have opted to use that piece only (had to secure it by manually tying velcro straps to bike as they will only stick to the underside of the thong).
