I just can't believe this review or any of the reviews I've seen of the Wahoo Kickr. I have never tried the Wattbike, so I have no experience with that, but I'm currently researching an alternative for the Wahoo Kickr V6, which I purchased roughly a month ago. I saw it getting so many positive reviews particularly from GCN, so I picked it up, but I'm so disappointed with it. People say it's quiet, but it is not. I use ear plugs to be able to use it indoors. To me, it also doesn't feel realistic. In my local gym we have the BodyBike's and to me that should be pretty far from a real biking experience, but I still think the Wahoo Kickr feels more unreal. Every pedal stroke is just a little bit unpleasant and on my last ride (after I had for umphteenth time taken the bike of the trainer and relubricated everything), I just thought f... this, I need to get a device with less maintenance, which doesn't feel like it is destroying my bike and is far less noisy - like the bodybike's in my gym. Then I can just use my road bike in the summer. Also, changing gears to often in Zwift? I don't know which geniuses designed those courses, but they go up and down every 50 meters, so I change gears every 20 seconds or so, at least once a minute on most of their routes - even the supposedly flat ones, and sticking to a set power target is completely impossible. So cancelled my Zwift subscription too. Finally, the accuracy of my Wahoo Kickr is roughly 50 watts off what I've ever been measured at before, so I don't buy the "accurate to 1%" at all

convert coz all rim brakes ive used are ass mooshy and cant stop you going down a hill, and unless youve paid for a $10000 tuning, the brakes with either rub against your wheels when you dont want, or when youre trying to break theyll be applying 0.1% of their power

a week in trying to bleed brand new SRAM brakes. To hell with it. Rim brakes all the way.

The fact that you are riding your Brompton in jeans speaks volumes. You look so fit....I can't wait to bring mine on next overseas travel (UK being one of them) I don't find the Brompton more challenging on hills. It's better on flat land vs. Hilly, but I've managed both.

Still riding my 1988 super Leggera first year of chorus smooth as buttah

I had this experience many years ago on the road during a 17% climb where a gentleman that was in his 60's and I then in my 30's (now mid 50's) and he came up behind our group and asked if he could join. We said yes.......me thinking I would show this old dude the way to climb and he blistered me like a red-headed school kid!!!! Found out at the top, he was a retired pro cyclists! I ate crow that day while my lungs felt like they were on fire!

Had a Giant TCR Compact since 2013. Great bike. My first proper road bike. Still a great bike 🎉

Me still with my rim braked bike: discs at the side of ur tires look like shit dude!

no barking stray dogs, no huge steeps .. this is a dream city for my tern link b8 :(

Poor motorists

Way too fast for me. By 30 secs I was still digesting what you had said 20 seconds ago. I think you need a slower gear on your voice!

Anyone else barely able to understand this guy?? 😆Had to keep playing it back. But maybe that's the point.🤣

Giant city trooper with double suspension.I am still searching this type of bike second hand.Unfortunately i live in greece.Biking in the city in greece is like you ride a horse.Very bad road network.I hope one day to enjoy the city trooper.

Disk brakes are better i ended up putting my head through a windscreen getting a massive gash to my head and a broken collar bone because it was raining one evening and the spray and oil off the road stopped my rim brakes from working i just couldn't stop thankfully i didn't feel a thing i was out cold the only good thing about rim brakes is they are only a few pounds to replace

Sweet!!

Mount for brompton light but light missing , otherwise super bike!

There's a farm that serves coffee about half way with an amazing view I had to stop not only because I went up with 39 tooth front ring 😂

what is your height bro?

Hey, here's the lowdown on your cash back and what's expected!

All the cars piling up behind you, this is what puts me of cycling, the roads are too overcrowded, like everything else in the UK

When i pedal on my mtb theres no noise but when i stop pedaling theres a squeaking sound like coming from the breaks anyone know why and how to fix it?

The "cons" are hilarious. Do you want it to work, or do you want to cling to an antiquated technology to assuage your nostalgia?

Because I have limited knowledge of bikes I can't do this project maybe you can Gears were meant to be put on a wheel for you to exercise your arms same as a leg arm Exerciser So when you move the wheel with your arms you start at a light weight and after a certain number of turns you increase the gears strength so your arms moves a heavier weight This is how people get muscles They lift small weights and then heavy weights The advantage of wheel with gears is you don't need the weights and can put on muscles anywhere Let me know if you understand Thanks for the video

I’ll just go look up “faff” and then watch again.

I don't have any problem with the modulation and braking power on my rimbrake road and gravel bikes. I just had to set them up correctly. Although I have hydraulic disc brakes on my mountain bikes due to worse conditions like water and mud on the trails in the forest, which can eat up the rim fast on the rimbrake bikes.

I’m thinking about getting a bike. Do you recommend disc brakes or rim brakes? I will be riding in neighborhood on pavement. No hills. No racing. No marathons. And what is the maintenance on disc brakes?

Too much focus on the technical aspect, which nobody really wants to know. We want to know how to use the thing. And that takes a back seat.

the pfp 😭

I think these fold up bikes look absolutely hideous with low tiny wheels

disc brakes all the way. Rim brakes were always way too inconsistent, especially in changing weather. Wet rims make for a very unsafe ride. Not to mention how quickly the brake pads wear down on rim systems. Rim brakes were good for a non-practical and non-safety era such as the one in which they were made, but now, we actually got smarter and no longer ride like neanderthals (mostly).

My next bike 80s bianchi steel frame, hopefully?

Theyre all on steroids. The human body cannot take that punishment day in day out. You would die without phds..

I do wish I had gone for the flat bar option on mine !

I've used a hub-based power meter. CycleOps. I believe I will start using it again, to build my fitness starting with zone 2 training. I will use this method until I purchase a new bike with modern technology and geometry. I'm using a 2007 rim brake bike. It will do the job. Thanks for sharing

Disc brakes look better. And u have a rim brake bike.

using lance Armstrong as a bike racing comparison is not a good idea

I carry a lot of water when I ride

Hello from NYC~There is a an easy toe clip mod that is a good balance between being ‘clipped-in’ while being able to wear regular sneakers. A great option for the more serious cyclist commuter!

Brompton is like Lega, recently they have gotten so popular/marketed that people are used to seeing it around.

Carrying 5 pounds in your backpack isn’t the same as gaining 5 pounds which would likely have some added muscle weight. What if I just gained 5 pounds of muscle in my thighs??

Before i listen to this video at 16 years old on a Saturday and most Sundays we used to cycle Ranelagh Dublin 6 to Gorey Co Wexford 85 Km each way me on my Dawes Mirage 531 tubing others on different makes this was in the 1950 s not a lot of traffic 5 x 2 gears Campag 27" mavics Brooks B17 saddle loved the ride in Gorey we at once turned back for home we ate our Jam sandwiches on the move and drank Ribena from our bottles we averaged 23 to 25 MPH i wish i could turn the clock back to those days those rides stood to me when i went on to race thank you now i will listen .

Climbing and headwinds are two instances where you REALLY feel the disadvantage of tiny wheels. If you haven't ridden a bike with 16" wheels it's shocking how much less powerful you feel than on a road bike when you encounter either of those obstacles.

The flat handlebar isnt the best for a brompton, it moves your center of gravity forward giving you that wobble people dont like.

Hi is this an electric bike?

Being "Juiced Up", hills were easer for Armstrong, than for other riders. 😁
