I did too - and I just returned it and getting the Wahoo Core - without the Zwift Cog. Not comfortable with the support path from Zwift in the future. I also found that I didn't like the Cog and the Click virtual shifting. Everything is fine in ERG but just free riding and using the Click is not optimal. There is a lag on the shift and a noticeable load change when it does happen. Just doesn't feel natural. Finally, that it's only supported in Zwift is also a knock (and I knew that before I got it originally but it's another straw against it). Definitely hemmed and hawed on sending it back but Zwift is giving me the "hmmm?" feeling right now so I'm flipping to Wahoo while I can.

Not clear on which front chainring i should use...from what i understand, one uses the little ring for 99% of riding unless one is performing a huge sprint. Then one pops up to the big ring and then back to the little ring. Correct? I agree with you Ray, somehow the Zwift/Wahoo nexus should deliver on the promised API for integration into other apps. Indie Velo has its own virtual shifting, but it's done via a keyboard. Pretty kludgey implementation. Thanks as always.

Is there an upgrade path for current Core owners in terms of replacing the cassette freehub that comes with the Core "classic" with the Zwift Hub One single cog hub and virtual shifting controller, and will they offer a discounted or even free upgrade path for recent Core buyers? Also, is virtual shifting possible with Core "classic" trainers that haven't been upgraded to the Hub One hub using a standard cassette, provided that you stay on one chainring/cog and set the correct size for each in the settings, and if so can you shift with the Zwift companion app without the controller? I'd think that the latter would be especially useful to people who use other platforms in addition to Zwift where you'll still need to do physical shifting (whether mechanical or electronic), unless these platforms adopt virtual shifting as well, which I assume they will eventually as the software seems fairly simple. Either way this is a great development. Provided that virtual shifting is handled properly there really shouldn't be a reason to have to physically shift on a trainer. It's quieter, simpler, there's less wear and tear on your road cassette, and should make training indoors simpler and easier. Now if they can only integrate this with virtual steering and braking, and perhaps even banking...

I wonder whether Wahoo's being slow in releasing the developer API for virtual shifting to other virtual cycling platforms is more of a legal than business decision. While the concept and I suspect code behind this is relatively simple, because we're just talking gear ratios which is linear, they'll probably charge a licensing fee for use of this technology, which has to be worked out in terms of how to charge for it, plus the legal details have to also be ironed out. Also, how to actually shift in terms of whether with a Zwift controller, a 3rd party controller, or in an app. And they might also want to have the right to approve of other platforms' versions of virtual shifting to maintain control over the technology's image.

The concept is centered around the new Cog as a single gear solution. This makes swapping between bikes with different drivetrains easier since you use the same cog for everything from 8-12 speed bikes. For someone with only one bike in use, the Cog and virtual shifting don't serve much purpose. So it's use case dependent.

Hardly proprietary since you can still install any HG compatible cassette of your choice to replace a Cog. Then just ignore virtual shifting and act like none of it ever happened.

@@maniastrat I can't speak to Wahoo's direction. But Zwift is still offering the Cog & Click upgrade for sale ($80) that includes the Click and Cog mounted to the Hub compatible freehub body. For anyone on a Core (or Kickr that will gain the virtual shifting in the near future), they can buy this, remove the Cog from the Hub freehub (mouthful ;) ) and then install it on their Core or Kickr. Bit of a waste to ditch the freehub, but it's an option. Alternatively, someone can buy the Zwift Play controller for virtual shifting access (and all the other functions), then do a simple single-speed hack like can be seen in many YT videos and have the same basic experience as the Cog. The main lack will be the plastic shroud to help with setup, but I won't be surprised of someone makes some 3D printed versions of these just for that purpose. Essentially, there is more than one way to make a single-speed happen here even if Wahoo refuses to offer a direct option. As to people moaning about the issues here, I don't have much sympathy. People bought what they thought fit their needs and budget. Zwift says they will for sure support the Hub at least 2 years. This is perhaps a bit short, but I've heard of even less from other makers at times so I don't see the 2 years as a real, problem. From what I've seen, the current Hub firmware is very stable and hits all the marks most people care about. The people who bought the Hub on sale in the last month or so got a nice discount on a good trainer that can be relied upon. No problem from what I see. And I say all that as an owner of a Kickr V3 2017 that is not poised to get the virtual shifting nor eligible for the other firmware updates or features present in the V4 2018 and newer models. Just part of owning a tech based product where support is not guaranteed at full depth forever.

Hey Ray! Any chance this works for fixed gear bikes and if not are there plans for a track bike compatible cog in the future? That would make a lot of sence to me since both are indoor cycling. I own a Velobike adapter for the kickr core and destroyed the bearings during an everesting event. Velobike sent another adapter free of charge but the problem began to happen again and so I switched back to a kickr snap and never spoke to them about it, thinking that my use may not be its intended purpose.

The cog would work fine for single-speed. The most common issues is that most single-speed bike frames aren't using one of the existing support axle standards of smart trainers. 130mm wide Quick Release is the smallest offered and most SS bikes I have seen are 110mm to 120mm which won't fit. There are some adapters that can be purchased to setup a wider axle spacing for these frames if you have one and are set on using it, but it is a workaround due to the trainer limitations. As of now, I have not seen any common offerings that work for those narrower frames without a hack.

@@Chader9 a company called Velobike from New Zealand makes an adapter I own and it's a good product but I don't think it's designed to climb up fake hills and so I decided to rethink my training. I ground the bearings literally into dust. The mechanic I brought it too thought I used anti seeze silver grease because of the bearing dust mixing with the grease i used to protect it. The core was fine so I decided to store it thinking i would buy a road bike for it but did not have the budget for it this year. I have a road frame and wheels but need everything else. Anyways it would be cool if wahoo made something specifically for fixed gear or single speed. My bet would be single speed because its easy to break stuff when fixed. Especially yourself. I have a 15 mm bolt moving my 120mm over in the kickr snap so that its centred. I also started training a tt position to avoid rocking the machine and bike when out of the saddle. Hasksville is cool at least. Until things break. 😅 Wahoo has been really good to me with warranties. Really disappointed by some things but it seems to me the people at wahoo care so they have made up for product flops with customer service IMO Only thing now is ...

How big does a bike have to be be?

If I'm understanding this correctly, couldn't I just leave my existing 11 speed cassette (that is compatible with my regular trainer bike) on the trainer, shift it to the 17 or middle of the block to use this feature on Zwift and still retain all my physical gears for using other apps?. And as a bonus if I ever wanted to use my 12 speed bike* (or any other bike) I could just drop it on the 11 speed cassette, put it in one cog and use it with this feature but only in Zwift? Or am I missing something? *I'm on Shimano but I use YBN 12s chains (which I know work fine on an 11)

I heard about a week ago that if we ordered the play controller now, that the virtual shifting software update for the Kickr V6 may be released before the play controller arrived. Well, I ordered the play controller and it arrived yesterday and it still does not work on the Kickr V6. I hope that the software update comes very soon! Does anyone have any idea when it will be released?

My Zwift Hub One arrived yesterday and when trying to remove the preinstalled through axel adaptor with the provided wrench I rounded the adaptor (not an uncommon issue). Zwift wants me to take it to a bicycle shop for them to remove the adaptor but I could just return it as faulty. Does anyone have any thoughts on if I return it and get this trainer or seek help from a local shop? Thanks
@JeremyDawesJezweb7 ай бұрын
If they are going to pay the bike shop sure or if you have a really good ongoing service and purchase history with the shop and want a reason to get them a coffee and say hi. Seems easier to just return it as faulty.

why is it dead? as long as it runs its the better trainer in terms of quality. When it dies in the warranty period either they give u a kickr core or refund u the price.

@DanKla91 I think it is dishonest to sell a product that you know you are going to discontinue in the near future. I understand why they do it, but you could also have a co.pany philosophy to be fair to your customers, especially if you're mainly selling software and the main interest is to keep clients on the platform....

@@BjornBrasse every product will be discontinued at some Day. If u buy a Smartphone and a month later comes the new one u also wont try to return it. U have 30 days of return policy. If the Trainer looks like New u can return it. Otherwise its just bad luck. But be happy u have the zwift hub One. I got 3 kickr cores here with more or less the same noise and Vibration problems. I read a lot before about the kickr core is very bad in terms of quality and reliability but i gave it a Chance. Now i extra bought the Zwift Hub One in Sale and its just perfect. Super quiet and no vibrations. My wife also have one. Hope it lasts very long.

I am an independent bike store owner. In my opinion, it is worth spending a little bit more money to get a Tacx® FLUX S Smart Trainer. The Tacx Flux S trainer offers a heavier flywheel which ensures a realistic ride feel, & good responsiveness compared to a Wahoo Kickr Core. Moreover, a Tacx Flux S has a synthetic rubber that is far more durable, heat-resistant, & wear-resistant than a Wahoo Kickr Core -- which should make it last much longer.
@Chader97 ай бұрын
Please show me the chain drive of the Tacx Flux. Last I saw it was still a rubber belt (like every other smart trainer outside of the Neo).
@@curtisCclarkeThat's 3 examples with belts. Now it's your turn to share your chain driven examples (which I personally don't believe exist in the first place).
@Chader97 ай бұрын
Ironic that you nuke your chain claim reply, then edit your OP to now mention "synthetic rubber" as some sort of benefit while still referencing the same "chain benefits". There is essentially no difference between the belts used between Tacx and Wahoo so that is hardly a point to stand on when ranking them. Outside of that, you can actually admit when you make a mistake instead of sweeping it under the rug like you've done.

I have a Kickr V5 and it’s been flawless but have a question. Are these trainers more accurate at higher flywheel speeds in erg mode as I do nearly all workouts in the 52t up front and somewhere in the middle of the cassette block for chain alignment. Plus it feels nicer, in my opinion. But I’m intrigued by the accuracy as so forums say you should use your turbo in the small gear up front?! Can you settle this? Thanks

If you put a normal cassette on, then used the virtual shifting, could you theoretically expand the virtual gearing range by using your normal shifting? Say you run out of virtual gears going up a climb, but you're still in the front big ring, you could downshift the front chainring and get more gearing.
