Someone spotted this at World’s ITT…. [image] Michał Woźniak @The_ark1 Hmm, spotted today while watching ITT Worlds. This looks like a new addition to Kickr lineup🤔 Any news about it that could be legally shared ;) ? @dcrainmakerblog @gplama https://t.co/Wkg7cVqehw [image] 1:12 PM - …

is the feedback omnium trainer that difficult to swap out adapters for the fork? It’s not like there’s 100s of front mount options. And the omnium is far cheaper and more portable.

Nope do not get it. I wish I could ride a roller, but I cannot. I am happy with my Kickr Core erg smat trainer. Piece of cake to put a bike on and off it. My first impression was its a kickr core power unit, using attached to a wheel on trainer, looking like a roller, without developing any of …

Yup, works fine with regular rollers. Plenty of people using the InsideRide E-motion Smart rollers, TruTrainer Smart Load, Elite Nero and older E-Motion controlled trainers for workouts and resistance loads/changes just like that.

Interesting article that hits on a reason i personally don’t like the Rollr. [image] Why is the Wahoo Kickr Rollr voiding wheel warranties? Is Wahoo’s new indoor trainer unsafe for your wheels? Zipp seems to think it has the potential to cause damage

Considering many people have managed to break a carbon rim with tyre leavers, clamping it doesn’t seem the best thing to do. And if you clamp the tyre - can you burp a tubeless tyre like that? What if you leave the whole thing set up, and the pressure drops?

“Clamping” is not my specific point of concern. I have not used one, but from the videos and related comments, the actual clamping force is not huge or excessive. That alone is unlikely to damage the wheel or rim. My concern, and seems to parallel what Shane shared in is vid above, is the actual …

Agree, its likely not the clamping itself, but the twisting and general movement at the clamped point. It’s like you put a spanner/wrench on your rim and start twisting and turning it - it’s not designed for that.

Stopped by an LBS today that had a rollr demo unit. Made a quick hop on test bike setup quite nice. Good idea for that.
