Ok, so I tried another fan option that didn’t work for me. So I gave the Wahoo tech support a call to see if the TICKR could connect to both the Headwind and the Peloton at the same time. Within 5 minutes of unboxing it, I had everything setup successfully, I first setup the app on my phone, then I paired the Headwind to my TICKR. Then I connected the TICKR to my Peloton and I successfully had the heart rate function on the Peloton working AND the Headwind was responding to the heart rate on the TICKR. Super easy setup and perfect functionality. I just log in to the Peloton, power up the Headwind, then power up the TICKR and it connects to both. You can also adjust the heart beat range in the app to initially start the fan at a specific heart rate, and then assign the specific heart rate where you want the fan to hit full speed. I also sat the fan about 18 inches away from the front wheel of the Peloton with the legs folded under the unit, and it blows the air perfectly at the rider. It’s positioned so the air flow goes right under the screen, and hits the rider from their shins to their head. The unit is totally quiet enough at the low setting, has a bit of noise at the mid setting, and does get noticeable at the full setting, however, I can easily hear my Peloton bike+ at 90% volume over the full speed fan, so that totally works for me.

Luxury item but worth it!
Let’s face it, indoor training will never be as fun as outside but I’ve done everything I can think of to make indoor training as enjoyable as possible. Having lots of airflow is absolutely required for comfortable indoor training. For me the perfect combination is this Headwind fan set on HR control and a Lasko 4900 controlled with a wireless remote on/off switch. Throw in a couple Headsweats helmet liners and sweat is no longer an issue for me - at least in a reasonable climate controlled environment. Fall - Spring I rarely need to turn on the Lasko because the Headwind with HR control gives me all the air I need. In the Summer though with the thermostat on 76F I need the Lasko as well set on speed 2-3 to keep me comfortable. The headwind covered my chest - head and the Lasko mostly my mid to lower body but some extra flow comes up to my face. The only (minor) gripe I have about this fan is the wheels are kind of cheesy and make a rattling noise on the hardwood floor from vibration. My simple solution was to tape foam across the wheels and the front legs. On a rug / carpet that would not be an issue. Could I save money and run 2 Lasko’s? Absolutely! But having that HR control and not having to worry about having too much or too little airflow to me is worth the $ because I’m spending 3-8 hrs / week sitting in front of this thing. So over the lifespan of this unit having that extra convenience is absolutely worth it. So much so, that I just bought another Headwind for another trainer I’m setting up at a “work house” I stay at about 1 wk out of every month. As an added bonus this fan also works great with my kayak ergometer and treadmill.

Outstanding, fan speed based on heart rate makes all the difference.
