Given how easily this happened, it feels like it’s only a matter of time until the next one has the same problem. 3% defect rate is corporate suicide in most industries. So I would not say an exceptionally dry day. And is a solution really at hand or will the swaps just continue until the weather is warm and the issue goes away (until next fall/winter??). Then the noise recurred about 2-3 months later. I’m from out of the country and will be visiting the US, what’s the best triathlon shop in city XYZ? I am curious to know Wahoo’s organization structure. They bought them from a local REI and were able to take them back rather than deal with Wahoo direct, but they have sworn off Wahoo for now. I just wonder how aggressive they would have been without Ray and the Internets… I bought the unit based on the review here – so kudos to you and your continued influence. It doesn’t seem they are releasing a new version of the Kickr/Core for 2019. So enough to buy a sensor or two. Does anyone know precisely how to recognize a Kickr Core with the new grounded board? Just took apart my Core and no loctite on the set screw or the axle bolt so the set screw just fell out of the casing when I opened it. Bought my first one back in December and it lasted 3 rides, but was reasonably quickly replaced by Wahoo and got their replacement one in Jan. That replacement unit has now died; lasted ~20 rides. I would take issue with the statement in the video “no one has said wahoo support isn’t amazing”. I’m actually glad to see that the comments here are not universal praise like in the YouTube comments section. No matter what kind of academic paper you need, it is simple and affordable to place your order with My Essay Gram. Different time zones resulted in different conversations with different people who had different levels of technical understanding. My Kickr Code 2018 started to make some weird noises recently. We’ve had quite a bit of snow and it actually died WHILE snowing outside. Two in a row i got i “burned” by poor quality. No offense to us in the biking community, but are we really that LARGE a subset? I performed the repair as per Wahoo. It would be interesting to see if bike shops are being told to hold off on selling the units – and if there ever be a “recall” (and has there ever been in this business??). I have a video with the rattling noise (see link to youtu.be). Last week Tacx were categorically responding that they *would* be starting shipping this month, but distributors in Europe don’t now seem to be expecting any before well into February at the earliest. I can’t seem to edit, but given what they say in the video with this being a problem for all Kickr’s am I going to be right back to the same problems all over again when a new Kickr ’18 arrives. It’s understandable that Tacx don’t want to ship a dodgy product, but frustrating when they say “watch this space for updates” but then never actually give updates when things do slip. I should have heeded the warning signs but I was still keen to get the Kickr etc. Problem is, the power bricks I currently have with these broken Kickrs is grounded, yet these still got fried. (For US & European users). I purchased two Kickr Cores for my wife and I about a month apart. I’ve had two Neos with rattling sound issues. Luckily, I have a power tap that I can use with my dumb rollers if the core would fail again. THREE Cores and now ONE Kickr later this has turned in to an absolute joke. I was also told today that, since last winter, Wahoo has more or less simulated lightning strikes on the Kickr Core and it was confirmed the replacement unit I was shipped did in fact have a grounded board. Given the disaster of this year’s trainer, I’d be shocked if Wahoo doesn’t take all the learning from this process (including their choice of production partner) and put out a really solid 2019 gen-5 version. I also just put together my complete ‘Gear I Use’ equipment list, from swim to bike to run and everything in between (plus a few extra things). Install studs. Is this a problem and does this mean my power is not accurate? I contacted Wahoo customer support. @codyish those are the symptoms of a worn belt. My 18 Kickr just began to make some suspicious noises (onset of the knocking), so I obtained a repair kit from my LBS, and proceeded to follow the instructions. I bought the Kickr18 late last year. *Side note, if anyone wants a working i-magic complete with Windows 1995 PC to run it on which has been kept off-line as a dedicated Tacx PC since 2002 then you’re welcome to come and pick it up . Totally dead killing, no half-deaths here. More Views. Maybe the companies could release new units earlier in the year to reveal issues before the heavy winter use period. Admittedly this is from a hardware standpoint and I have still avoided the Tacx software out of self preservation. During my 8th or so ride, while taking off an outer layer after warming up, the trainer stopped transmitting speed and power. We’ll see… #3 will be on its way as soon as they get confirmation from FedEx that my dead one is on its way back. And I will also say buying it through my local bike shop was a great experience as well – no matter the headaches…. For Queries and More Details, Email - [email protected]. You are right, the rush to meet demand seems to be straining the manufacturing side, and it is worth highlighting. It contains no metal, but once assembled hardens to a strength that often doubles that of a press fit. I opted for the Elite and glad I did. If you’re in a carpeted room with socks on, and manage to ‘shock’ your bike/trainer, that’ll do the trick. I would like to be upset… but the reality is the customer service has been fantastic each time including shipping a unit from Australia to NZ over night in one case. Understood – but just image the amount of hardware, software and different process chains that need to work hand in hand to produce a plane that doesn’t crash. these things are heavy as shit and aren’t exactly a great shape to pack securely in a box. Check out these throwbacks, Scorsese & DiCaprio met with Osage Nation to accurately portray cultural details in upcoming movie. Me: Clarifies that they misread my earlier comments.
