Hey gang, so I am now trainer-less and need some advice. I returned the H3, so that one is out of the question. I tried a Neo2, but was underwhelmed with ERG performance. All that’s really left of the big dogs is the Kickr 2018. For those using it I have a few questions How is ERG performance as f…

Buy any Kickr OTHER THAN THE 18 … [image] Anybody have a Wahoo Kickr 2018 that DOES NOT have any issues? Equipment I just ordered a Kickr 2018 that will be here on Thursday and I’m already preparing for some sort of issues and sort of regretting the purchase. It seems lik…

Do you have personal experience or are we just recycling old threads? You’ve never even posted in that thread so I assume you don’t even own an 18 Kickr, so not sure what the point of your post is.

I’ve had an 18 for about a month now. No issues at all at this point. I previously had the original Kickr so that’s all I have for comparison. The 18 is much quieter/smoother and responds faster in ERG mode. I use it for both TR and Zwift and have been very happy with the way it responds to target …

Why did you return the H3? @Nate_Pearson seems to really like his.

As a result the belt squeaks at higher load, defying the point of the trainer being quiet, and someone had the belt “walk” off of the up…

I asked for people’s experience who are using the Kickr 18, not regurgitating old threads. He has nothing to contribute, so not sure what the point of the post was. I also asked about ERG performance specifically.

I’m on my 4th 2018 model. The 1st started out fine but fell victim To the known gremlins. Number 2&3 were duds right out of the box and number 4 has held up for a little while. During my ride on Saturday I started to feel chatter. I’ll dig into it more to make sure it’s not the bike. The support th…
