It fits! And works! Wahoo KICKR Roller with CB in backwards, collects data no problem

Very cool! If I was in the market for another trainer (I have a Tacx Neo2) this would be on the short list. The ability to quickly mount the bike on the trainer, especially a Cruzbike, would be a huge selling point.
I bought a recumbent (a Bacchetta A26) specifically for the trainer, it never comes off. I'd much prefer not to have done that and used this instead with my existing V20c or S40 but I've had the Tacx for about 4 years and it still works great.

Exactly the reason I bought the WKRoller. I actually got it for my tri bike bc I didn’t like removing the back wheel or the axle to train. This is a game changer for me.
Thanks for your response!

Color me surprised. You did us all a great favor testing this out. Thank you.
Since you said it is recording data, I am guessing you meant you are using it in passive mode. The power reading comes from your power meter pedals? In this mode, there is the resistance constant or does it increase as you try to go faster.
Which app are you using with it?
Have you used it in erg/sim mode?

Thank you so much! I have the Wahoo KICKR roller paired with my Garmin Edge 1030. The KICKR is super easy to navigate in both ERG and Passive mode. I’m using passive mode and using my gears to increase resistance. My power meter pedals are on my tri bike and work beautifully with the WKR and Garmin Edge 1030. I’m not using a zwift or anything yet. What I must say is bc the front tire is not locked in place like the rear tire is on our CB’s it adds a dimension of actual riding as if on the street. Enjoy!

Oh man, where were you last year 
. I was about to pull the trigger on one of these but ended up with a Kickr Core2 instead and boy do I hate having to take the front wheel off. I'm half tempted to sell it now and grab one of these!
I think what stopped me buying it was the max wheelbase on the roller was just shorter than my S40 on paper.

Exactly! Mac wheel base was deceiving. But given the real world tested fit, it works great! I actually bought it for my tri bike and for the heck of it put my cbv20 on it yesterday and was completely caught off-guard that it fit. And it’s so cool bc the front tire is on the rollers so you have to peddle smoothly or you go side to side. I figured that out quickly too. I may try to stabilize the front forks so it is locked in but I’m loving it rt now the way it is.
No more oily or dirty chain hands, even with a waxed chain, and no more chain slipping off of the trainer sprocket.
I’ll take a video of me riding it sometime today and post it.
