Wahoo KICKR trainer

[GregB]

Anyone know if I can use my Silvio S30 on a Wahoo KICKR direct drive trainer? Will it fit?

I was able to ride my Silvio 2.1 on a KICKR, and also know that all version of the Vendetta fit on it as well.
I can't imagine that the S30 would not, but I'm sure someone with a S30 will reply and confirm.

Absolutely not a problem

There is one small thing to keep in mind. My Quest with disc brakes had issues with the New Kickr. The new Kickr, the carrying handle was relocated. The new location of the handle was great when I was moving the unit around. When I mounted the bike. It conflicted with the brake caliper. It was remedied by removing 3 screws that secured the handle.

Kind of makes me stop and think a second when I realize that the steering torque produced by pedaling these bikes is resisted by the KICKR, via chainstays, instead of by the boom, handlebars, and the rider's arms as is the case when off the trainer. I guess Cruzbike hasn't weighed in on whether they see this as an issue. I don't expect that it *would* be an issue, although there would have to be at least somewhat higher compression/tension loading on the chainstays when in use on the KICKR.

Only issue after hundreds of hours is keeping an eye on the headset stack. That does needing retightening every 2-3 months. As long as you monitor it and inspect the bike before training all is good.

my bkool trainer and vendetta creep slowly backwards across the floor, I need to secure it to the floor I think! also tempted to do the suspension rope from ceiling thing for the back wheel to see if that provides a more natural feeling on the trainer.
