Paint - $40

Popular colours available from the local hardware store. Two coats of paint are applied to all top surfaces of the desk.

Removable legs - $20

A second section of wood is used to allow legs to be removed. This added piece allows for a more rigid base but also provides the user with ease of moving and transporting the desk in vehicles and around areas of the house. It is attached to the unit by screws and is secured in place by a wing-nut.

Adjustable with removable legs - $40

Not sure of the perfect height for you? Our most popular option allows riders to adjust the table to various heights to find what works for them. Desk is made to adjust from 48” to 40” by using a screw and is secured in place by a wing-nut. Can be made lower than 40" (38 to 36”) however you will lose the two top supporting bars (which are added for extra stability and removal is not advised depending on use) - see photo.

Bottle holder & towel bar - $20

Ready for a long ride? Want to place your bottles in a more secure spot than on the table top? A three inch hole recessed about an inch lower provides the perfect spot and stability to hold the bottle. It can also hold the morning cup of most coffee mugs. Cut outs can be placed where you would like on the table.

We are all heavy sweaters when you're trapped indoors and a front or side towel bar holder might be just what you need to keep a towel close instead of the table top. Can be placed in front or on each side depending on where you like.

Phone and Tablet holder cut out slot - $10

Hate reaching too far for your phone when you want to give kudos to someone blowing by you in Watopia? Want to place your phone or tablet upright in a convenient spot when you're spinning. Add a small cut out to the front of your table to keep everything within reach.

Extension cord switch (*if available*) & Cord Management - $20

Don’t you hate when you start your warm up cold and the fan blowing full blast because you need to switch it on at the start of your session (cause the switch is just too far away)? Or even worse, you begin a killer ten minute sweet-spot interval and you forgot to start your fan and wish you could easily turn it on with just one switch without moving too far? A handy extension cord with a switch is just what you need to make it that much easier and can be placed hidden under the front bar of your desk. Note: If you have a three prong plug in fan, the switch cord I’m using will not work.

Tired of cords everywhere? A tidy desk cord management hole and cap keeps cords tidy on top of your desk and can be placed where you like to keep them in check.

Note:

It’s worth mentioning that all these additional add-ons can be easily added yourself and purchased at the local hardware or budget store. I’m just asking for the cost of the materials and the same amount it costs for my time.

Disclaimer:

I'm by no means a carpenter or pretend to be one on TV. Just a side hobby and looking at prices for a wahoo desk is outrageous to me. There will be some minor imperfections as I try my very best to make the desk something you will enjoy and last a long time.
