jeesus jones what is with the long finger nail!!!!???????

[@Demon09-_-]

since you are already in by the bearings if they have rubber seals like this if you very carefully pick the seals out with a small pick or very tiny screw driver you can repack the bearings with grease. Don't attempt if you are unsure as if you bend the seal at all it will be worse then doing nothing. the bearings are pretty cheap so it may just be worth ordering new ones if you plan to do this job tbh

[@lohandkaaz4997]

Bonjour , super video, merci , et je tenais a vous dire ne jamais nettoyer des roulements annulaires avec du degrippant, car ca va liquefier la graisse a l interieur du roulement et donc perte de graisse et de fluiditer dans l inertie , a bon entendeur wd40 c est pas un degraissant , sans vouloir critiquer , c est juste un complement d information, super merci a vous pour la video 🚲🚲🚲💪💪💪💪🚵🚵‍♂🚴‍♂

[@nardixbici]

Good video on assembling and disassembling. I would not clean bearings with WD40 and am not sure why to grease the axle, let alone the inner face of the bearings.

[@mattkavanaugh5623]

Using WD-40 on the bearings will remove the grease around the ball bearings and make the bearings worse than before

[@jasonburke2596]

Thank you for this video. Although I feel that my bearings are worn I have followed your excellent video and for now my Kickr has ceased to make a dreadful noise!

[@plthatfunkymusic]

Great video, thanks. Just to echo other comments. Keep WD40 away from bearings, and grease bearings themselves, not axle. Top quality video on how to open up v5

[@stephenbetley9596]

Thanks for the vid. Had a weird squeaking sound from mine when it was close to stopping. Opened it up and it looked like the belt had partially derailed itself. Had gone one notch to the right and was slightly overlapping the main roller causing belt-line isssues and wear on one side of the belt. The tensioning roller wasn't perfectly level. Stripped the rollers down, reversed the belt and carefully attached the tensioning plate & roller - not the best design tbh on v4 . Retensioned the belt - added an extra 360o on the allen key to account for stretch & reposition. Sorted. Recalibrated after 15min WU.

[@mattkavanaugh5623]

I think the squeaking noise at start of the video is from the belt, not the bearings. I just fixed my KICKR by spraying sone silicone lubricant on the belt. Squeak is gone. No need to remove the belt or retention it.

[@julianhall2008]

Are replacement bearings very dear, i think if i was going to take it to bits i would have just replaced with new bearings .Just a thought. thanks for the video.

[@stephenbetley9596]

About $10 for 2. 6003-2RS. Just replace them. Not worth the hassle.

[@justmebeingme82]

Thanks for posting such a helpful video

[@Gledii]

thanks a lot for sharing. i have a light noise on the big metal plate attached to the hub. is there any maintenance required? thanks

[@baihaki_abay]

Makasih banyak toturialnya om, kebetulan sama dgn punya kita gen 4, setelah kita bersihkan sekarang bunyi yg kurang enak di trainernya jadi hilang.

[@cyklingops9274]

Senang klo bisa bermanfaat

[@online_screen_name]

Super helpful thank you!

[@tropo100]

Wait... cleaning bearings with WD40??

[@gweilo965]

6003zz bearing £1.99 . A new bearing is cheaper than WD-40🤦🏼‍♂️😂

[@enki42ea]

Want to make sure they need replacing soon

[@sAmiZZle82]

Yeah I don't get the point of cleaning the outside of bearings and with WD40 at that. It's a sealed bearing! The wear is INSIDE behind the seal. You have to take the seal off and clean all the grease out inside and then repack grease into them! It is likely that all he has achieved by spraying WD40 on them is thinning out whatever grease that was left inside the bearing and has added grease on the outside, which in the case of an indoor unit that will never see the likes of water on a rainy day, is pointless at best and going to attract dust at worst.

[@salsalawyer]

He's using it to clean the rust. The blue grease is doing the real work

[@jeffcreed2539]

Wow, lot of work.

[@FernandoAurelioPabloV]

Excellent video!! Any suggestion on not power reading? And how frequently do you suggest this maintenance to be done?

[@kentalstrup9699]

And he is not cleaning the bearings with wd40. He’s removing rust from the parts. As a lot of you write. Sealed bearings. You would probably have problems cleaning the inside with wd40, due to the sealing. I’m more concerned by the fact that that a device that is used indoors rust! I don’t care about the wd40. It used to clean af the rust that not supposed to be on an expensive piece of equipment, it is all filled with grease again. So no problem The grease on all contact part makes them easier to take apart, and avoid them from rusting together.

[@stardust6773]

Maybe indoors the sweat creates a salty environment? I sweat a lot, I don't dare to look how mine must be :)

[@pandatactical4530]

Just because it’s indoors doesn’t mean it’s not exposed to moisture.

[@mattkavanaugh5623]

WD-40 sprayed on outside of sealed bearings can get into the bearings and dissolve the grease around the ball bearings. For the same reason, you should not use a powerwasher to clean a bike as it can wash the grease out of the sealed bearings.

[@cbr-entreprise9089]

Possible to have bearing ceraming for new mount ?

[@stardust6773]

I guess it would be better to use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts in 11:50. Anybody knows how much should it be?

[@janshaka]

[@DrDoinks]

Awesome video! Honestly, I never thought of maintaining my kickr core except near the cassette. I bet this would definitely increase longevity of the trainer.. How often/how many miles do you recommend doing maintenance at?

[@ivangunaman]

Om yg saya ko kuncian axle flywheelnya susah di cabut ya. Liat yg om gampang bgt di cabut. Ada solusi om hrs di apain? Thanks 3:46

[@mikeclements4548]

Great job

[@MarcioPY1MV]

Hello, my started to do the same. I found a solution, I guess...The sensor was touching the circle with wite and black straps.

[@KungFury_7337]

I dont understand how you can just remove the piece at 3:39. On my Kickr, it wont move at all. Any suggestion? Thx!

[@RaySo-pw9qb]

@KungFury, I also cannot remove the piece. Have you figured out how to take it out?

[@KungFury_7337]

@@RaySo-pw9qb No - I left it as is. Still noisy.

[@salsalawyer]

if you look at the side of the cylinder there is a set screw. It's at the cut out. On some models you look for the counter sunk screw 2-3 mm to take the cylinder off.

[@trailsrfr]

as written below " Use crank puller to remove the pulley "

[@samknows86]

How come I can’t pull that large metal nug off that keeps the flywheel set ?

[@pikutek5062]

Use crank puller to remove the pulley

[@velosapien]

The maintenance of this unit is wrong in so many ways. Many bearings should always be renewed. Pulley bolt should never be over tightened as shown.

[@solefreak2]

How often should all this work be carried out?

[@rossfripp4503]

@@solefreak2 I'd be keen to know this, but I guess "it depends" on many factors such as use, what gear you use for ERG mode (higher gear, more flywheel rotations etc), temperature of use and so on. I had 3 Kickr '18s fail in 7 months, my 4th one has just started making noise 4 weeks out of warranty! Wahoo are replacing it free of charge but this is good to know for my 5th, because I am not sure if they'd replace another one. If I ever do this I will just replace the bearings instead of cleaning them. I will also order a spare pulley bolt and woodruff key, as that is a very common fault. I suspect it would do it the world of good to have this done every year, but I would be afraid of bricking it haha.

[@solefreak2]

@@rossfripp4503 Do you think your issues are still relevant to the latest iteration of the Kickr? Mine is a 2020 model.

[@rossfripp4503]

Dommage la musique

[@Check-it-out]

A Kickr costs 1.199 €. I bet it costs les than 50 € to produce one...

[@thesolitarycyclist9005]

Are you including labour costs and overheads in that estimate, or just the cost of materials?

[@pandatactical4530]

You should start your own company an make a fortune!

[@syerpost]

This video is nothing more than cosmetic cleaning. WD-40 on bearings 😂, see later grease

[@Check-it-out]

Lol... Don't try this at home !
