Even better than the Wahoo sales that are currently running at Bikebug and Pushys. I purchased a Wahoo Kickr v4 Refurb late last year and it has been flawless. Had a small scratch on the leg but haven't had any issues so don't doubt these will be fine too.
NB no cassette is supplied with Kickr Core
Get it for less than buying it on Facebook from some random AND get a Wahoo warranty with it.
Yep, some bargains can be had on Marketplace/Gumtree. Got a V4 for $300 after the seller managed to sell the bike separately.
nice score!
been looking for a deal on one for a while, and yeah this is better than 2nd hand pricing. Picked one up. Thanks OP! I'll be interested to see how a carbon frame goes without the rocking motion of pedaling.
My TCR was fine.
I think you'll be fine unless you're heavy and throwing down big watts out of the saddle
I know there are plenty heavier and with bigger sprints than me, but I just hit 7000kms on my trainer with a carbon bike, I'm 95kgs with a 1000w+ sprint and I've had no issues.
I'm in the same boat as you - 92-ish kg and a similar sprint. Have had a carbon Colnago on trainers since Feb 2018 and no problems.
Goodness, had no idea such a product existed. Good idea!
Anyone built or bought a rocker plate to pair their trainer with?
Thanks OP. Picked one up.
Even after going to the website I have no idea what this is?
I was curious too and had a quick search, it looks like you mount your bike to it and it provides resistance to make it similar to riding outdoors.
It is also smart so a rider can connect to software eg zwift, ride around a course and the software will automatically adjust the resistance similar to outdoor riding.
Plus the 2 hunge+ a year for zwift
i'm paying for zwift using discounted apple gift cards,
I've lost a few inches so far so I think it's worth it..
you get some extra motivation knowing you're paying for it if you don't use it
Interesting, how does this work?
just pay via itunes subscription in the app and it will use your balance or linked card

nice, looks like they're doing 15% off trainers - https://au.wahoofitness.com/devices/indoor-cycling/bike-trai…
You can score some good deals on FB though, I got my core still under warranty for a great price as you'll find many who don't like riding indoors after getting it.
