That may very well end up how I prefer to use it too, Dirk. Thanks. |

Just an update...
Thought I'd update this thread. I received a Wahoo Kickr Bike over a month ago... and I haven't even had the opportunity to ride it yet. It looks like a gorgeous, space-age machine. But I had two significant problems... the handlebars wouldn't hold in a raised position and neither would the seat post. Both just slid back down into the frame.
They wanted me to try a silicone solution... that failed. Then they shipped me a new quick release mechanism... that didn't work either. Then they shipped me a binder bolt to to use in lieu of the QR mechanism... that failed. So, now we're contemplating and discussing a return. The customer service has been superb... they've gone above and beyond to help me. But it looks like I might eventually have to think about a new bike and a smart trainer instead. The Kickr does look like a work of art, but if anybody considers one, be sure to talk with them about whether they have solved the issues with the handlebars and seat post. |

Have any of you done any updates? I looked at our beloved old Fat Chance on the ancient noisy trainer and realized my laptop return and buy scenario leaves enough to maybe go modern with trainers.
My new bike is through axle is one thing. Saris comes to mind first because I know their engineers and company owner - all super quality people. So far the gamify/app stuff is not appealing but all I've done in the past was 15-30 minute sessions on the crude old school setup. The stuff looks expensive and even if much better I don't know if I'd have patience to bike indoors. When I see people on treadmills and stationary bikes it is totally foreign to my decades of marching or biking or skiing or hiking year round. I have an invitation for a 420 mi spring tour at altitude from childhood friends, and that 142 off road ride (the B.A.L.L.S. ride) will probably return to early April so I'll need spring fitness. An age 17-21 attitude in a sexagenarian's body is getting complicated and expensive.
