    I've certainly had my $$ worth out of my Wahoo Kickr and Zwift. Gave myself kidney stones during lockdown 1 by sweating too much and not drinking enough whilst riding up and down 'Road to Sky'!!! (AKA Zwift's version of Mont Ventoux)

    • MaxiPower on 19/07/2021 - 10:43
      +1

      I think this mat would be a lot tougher, as its designed to stepped on with the bike cleats shoes without tearing the mat up. Where as a yoga mat would be a bit softer. Plus you can get some cheap yoga mats from Kmart

    • Tgb on 19/07/2021 - 10:54

      Could be used as a yoga mat (source: partner yoga teacher) though obviously wouldn't be as good a decent brand dedicated yoga mat (I.e. lululemon). Its definitely firmer but she said has better cushioning then some cheap mats, and not overly foamy/too cushioning like cheaper ones.

    • zappy32 on 19/07/2021 - 13:17

      They're very hard. Basically just for stopping sweat on the floor and provide some grip for the trainer and floor. You obviously could but it just wouldn't be soft and they start to crack after rolling them up too many times.

          I went for the v5 - already have Apple TV and plenty of cycling gear.

          Now is there any difference to what bike I use? I have a Venge (my main bike) and a Tricross (which I barely use) so would like to not have my main bike out of action and have to put wheels etc back on every time I want to go outside

      Most bikes will fit. A cheapo KMart bike might not. Any of the regular Bike Shop brand bikes using a Simano/SRAM 11 speed groupset will fit, I bought an old 2nd hand Giant frame off FB Marketplace, attached 2nd hand Shimano 105 groupset parts to it, an old front wheel, saddle and tyre i had lying around the garage and made my own zwift bike out of 2nd hand parts. I now leave the zwift bike setup permanently, saves me the drama of having to put my expensive S-Works Tarmac on and off the trainer.

      it needs mains power, 240v

    • Mentok on 19/07/2021 - 12:32

      I used my old Elite wheel-on smart trainer via cigarette lighter and 12VDC to 240VAC inverter in the car boot for warming up at races. The current draw is quite low because all that the trainer is doing is moving magnets back and forth with a small drive, and transmitting power data to your head unit. I can't comment specifically on the Wahoo units, but I imagine they would be similar.

      The issue with a power bank is that it's going to output at 5V via USB. Maybe it has the storage to drive the load a training session, but current at 5V would be pretty high (possibly too much for anything but USBC) and the necessary adaptors might kill the idea for cost/complexity. Probably more realistic with a 12V source and an automotive inverter.

    • zappy32 on 19/07/2021 - 13:26

      If you're looking for one that that doesn't need to be connected to mains, most Tacx trainers are able to be run without power(though not quite as good as when connected to mains).

    • pingMarky on 19/07/2021 - 11:53

      Kickr Snap is much better but you're comparing a smart trainer to a 'old school' trainer…

    • 2ndeffort on 19/07/2021 - 11:56
      +2

      The Wahoo Kickr is a 'Smart' trainer. The Amazon trainer is a basic trainer. You can connect the wahoo via Bluetooth to an app running on a Laptop, ipad, Apple TV or other device. The app on the device can control the resistance of the trainer, ie what you are pedalling against. The most popular app is a subscription based app called 'Zwft'. In this app you ride around in virtual cycling worlds, your laptop, apple TV or other device can show this virtual eorld on whatever screen its is attached to and you ride around in there. When you ride up hills the resistance is harder, when you ride down it gets easier. There are loads of other features such as meeting up with others to ride together or join virtual races. There are other apps designed for trying to improve your cycling performance. The smart trainer normally collects all sorts of data such as the power you are generating, your heartrate (if you're wearing a HR monitor etc). The Kickr comes with a cadence sensor as well. I have trained myself using the wahoo to increase my cadence to 90-99 RPM, now feels normal even on outdoor rides.

      The basic trainer still attached to your bike but you manually have to use a lever to increase or lower the resistance you are pedalling against. You can use your basic trainer with zwift I think and there might be some workarounds but you probably would have to add other sensors and the integration wouldnt be as easy. There are other smart trainers on the market, the wahoo Kickr is one of the originals and well regarded but there are other options around.

    • hoxygt on 19/07/2021 - 14:39

      If you want to get into Zwift on the cheap, I'd buy a Zwift compatible dumb trainer (I use a pre-loved CycleOps mag ~ $100) + a couple of Wahoo bluetooth sensors ~ $100 and you're good to go :)

    Has anyone here actually used the headwind fan and recommend it? Or is a cheaper/more industrial version from Bunnings for example better? Thanks in advance!

    • Hammo on 19/07/2021 - 15:30

      Something to consider - look at the larger vornado fans. I tried the big bunnings fan and thought it was a bit crap. Tried a mate's headwind and didn't see the value. Tried a Vornado, and I'm sold. I ended up with the 660 model, was on special at Costco for a decent price.

      https://vornado.com.au/collections/air-circulators although cheaper to buy elsewhere.

    • howdydood on 19/07/2021 - 19:20

      Hi have a Headwind and a 633DC Vornado - I connected the Vornado to a TPLink smart power outlet so I can turn it off/on while riding.

      in summer when it's over 25 inside my house, I have both on me full blast, the Headwind at the front and Vornado at the back. In Winter, like now, I use the Headwind only with fan speed varying via heartrate.

      • extradollop on 19/07/2021 - 19:40

        Sounds like a decent setup! Have you used the headwind only during summer and found it not to be enough? Thanks for your help!

          +1

          Yes I've used it alone but when it's hot I find I need as much air as possible - I even have the ceiling fan on. The fan from the front won't cool your back much as the air will be going backward, if I have the vortex on from behind it will blow on my back. If all I was doing was a slow and easy ride then all teh fans wouldn't be needed, but when I race do a decent workout on Zwift then too much air is never enough

  • pete8oes on 19/07/2021 - 22:45

    Is the v5 THAT much better than the core considering the price difference?

    • impoze on 19/07/2021 - 23:48

      also take the price of the included cassette into consideration

    • cletus75 on 20/07/2021 - 08:02
      +2

      I uhmmed and ahhed for ages and went with a Core at the time. That said, if I was doing it again, I would probably go the V5 for the following reasons, but I'll admit they're not convincing reasons. It's a big price difference for a fairly incremental gain:
      1. Primary reason is that I use it. I wasn't sure that I'd stick with Zwift once we were allowed back outside, but I have. So it's a little less about value and more of a "treat".
      2. I've also used an Elite Suito and the difference in flywheel weight between makes a huge difference. So I assume it would be better again in the v5 (but perhaps its diminishing returns)
      3. portability - I don't pack mine away every time, but it does occasionally go in the car when going away (local holidays with risk of lockdowns). I borrowed a Suito for its size once and whilst it packs down tiny, I didn't like the ride feel at all. The Core takes up quite a bit of room with its fixed legs - they fold closer together, but it's still wide. The v5 should be somewhere in between.
      4. No spindowns. Not that you have to do them often with a Core and they're hardly a burden, but less maintenance is good, right? ;-)

      • pete8oes on 20/07/2021 - 14:31

        Great review thanks - as you said it sounds pretty close. Sounds like the v5 folds down more than the core?

        Man, im torn whether i will use it ongoing…. though covid lockdown and dad duties are stopping me riding…

        • cletus75 on 20/07/2021 - 15:13
          +1

          Yes, the "full fat" Kickrs (including the V5) have a handle and folding legs (into the V-shape) that fold in towards the central rail so it's not as wide. They're still not thin compared to some other models - the Suito is pretty much the gold standard there as it's no wider than the skewer when folded. The V5 also has the cabled network connection (with a dongle) that most of us will never use and it's Axis rocker feet, but I've read they make little difference if you're on a mat.

          If in doubt, go for the Core. Save $500 - which is half as much again - and it's solid - it's effectively the old Kickr v3, with the quieter belt and updated firmware (cadence estimate), just in an H-leg rather than V-leg body. I'm very happy with mine.

          Given you mention Dad duties - if you do get one, join the "DIRT" (Dads Inside Riding Trainers) events on Zwift. Hundreds of us in the same boat as you.

          • pete8oes on 21/07/2021 - 07:55

            @cletus75: Awesome thanks - I grabbed the core from 99bikes for $1119….hopefully pickup today. Hopefully I get good use out of it…

    Snap or Core?

    I'm a casual cyclist but can see the fun and convenience of training with Zwift especially in lockdown. The Snap is kinda the price point I want to spend but will I be disappointed, have buyers remorse?

    Not interested in specs but actual people's experiences with either.

    • MaxiPower on 20/07/2021 - 11:02
      +3

      Its a Smart trainer vs not smart trainer.

      As a smart trainer, when you have it hooked up to Zwift, the trainer reacts to the game. Eg you go up a hill the trainer adds resistance, and you are getting the same effect as riding a real hill.

      I'd go smart trainer any day of the week. I'll admit I'm hooked on Zwift. Best thing I ever got into during covid.

      • cletus75 on 20/07/2021 - 15:24
        +1

        Maxipower, the Snap is smart too…

        The direct drives (ie Core) are a significant step up in terms of realism, mess and noise (it was stunning, but then you get used to it all and get blase) but go with the Snap if you're really unsure and just dipping your toes in the water.

        The Snap will hold its value reasonably well for a few months (whilst lockdowns are a risk) and it's well specced - some of the other smart wheel-on units can be overwhelmed fairly easily by stronger/heavier riders (e.g. my Tacx topped out at about 800W). Wheel-ons also have the added benefit of being easily swapped between riders - in my family there are three of us using the trainer, which either meant a lot of cassette swapping, standardising the drivetrains, or more trainers.

        Would have been much cheaper to stay with a wheel-on. ;-)

        • MaxiPower on 20/07/2021 - 15:30
          +1

          Yeah, sorry my bad. Was used to all those other wheel on trainers not being smart.

          The other thing with the wheel on trainer you need to take into consideration is the rubber wear on the tires, as if you are riding indoors, you will get small bits of rubber coming off.

          • cletus75 on 20/07/2021 - 15:32

            @MaxiPower: yes indeed - I should have clarified what I meant by "mess" above! I don't miss vacuuming that all the time.

    • wantfreestuff on 20/07/2021 - 11:15

      Go for the direct drive (in this case the Core) if you can afford it. If you're after one that's both cheaper and better than the core, look at the Elite Suito ($1049 at Pushies) https://www.pushys.com.au/elite-suito-direct-drive-interacti…. Wahoo support is second to none though.

      • cletus75 on 20/07/2021 - 15:42
        +1

        Interesting. I've ridden both the Suito and Core - in fact, I have them side by side - and I'm not a fan of the Suito. I reckon i'm down about 5% on power on the Suito and it's much "jerkier" in SIM mode - you really feel it braking on the small rolling hills, whereas the Core has a more natural progression - i.e. if I have momentum, the bike slows, not brakes. That's what the heavier flywheel gives you…. Or I could be talking out of my ar$e as it could just be that this particular Suito is a lemon…

        If trying to save a buck, take a look at the Saris H3 too (about the same price as the Suito at Pushy's) but you'd worry a little about support in Australia. Wahoo is everywhere - Saris … less so.

    So for someone who rides both mtb and gravel bike, barely rides I mean. Wanting to get back in the saddle to shred some kgs…

    Snap vs core? Most likely chuck the mtb on the core or use the gravel bike on the snap.

    Is the core really worth it long term? Not using it for big kms. Much rather get outside for a ride.

    99 bikes have also stopped this deal…..

    But current deal is still available at pushys as of (21/07/2021)
    https://www.pushys.com.au/shop-by-brand/w/wahoo.html

    So you should be able to get 99 Bikes to "Request A Price Beat" for a further 5% off.
