Hi, My dad is wanting to get into cycling again and was asking for recommendations on trainers. He will definitely want to go Direct Drive. Right when I was going to recommend the Wahoo Kickr Core (which I had and enjoyed in the past), I noticed that it had a weight limit of 250. He hasn’t told me how much he weighs, but he’s a big dude (6’7” and I’d say at least 275). Any Direct Drive trainers you all would recommend for a bigger dude? ---
