The replacement KICKR got to me and it seems to work better at least at low power and upper level endurance efforts. Still more testing to go. With this KICKR in ERG Auto, it was much easier to bring the cadence back up after some low cadence standing efforts, but could not get it below 60 rpm very well standing in ERG Auto.
The replacement KICKR needed a firmware update. Calibration would work on TR but I had a hard time getting calibration to work using Wahoo App, but it finally worked.
