Hey Mike, bought one of these a while ago and just realised i need to service it. Ive found the maintenance guide online but its realy basic (especially for those who arent that practical), no one has done a you tube video for servicing the Kickr bike - just wondered if you had plans to do one?
Good idea! I will put that on my list for future videos. May be good timing to do it at the end of the off-season. I looked at Wahoo's servicing instructions. Is there anything you think they missed?
@@bikesbymike Thanks for the reply. Well, i suppose the 4 page Maintenance guide doesnt really cover servicing the Wahoo Kickr Bike. It covers really basic stuff like wiping it down, check and clean the shifter connections, crank tightness, greasing frame rails and handlebar and seat stems. I suppose if i think of my road bike its the moving parts that take a lot of the strain and i would have thought need lubing, checking and over time replacing. So Im thinking principally about the crank and flywheel/motor at the back. I dont really know how the tension is adjusted as you change gears, there is no chain but is there a belt drive of sorts? There was no allen key provided that fits the flywheel/motor casing so it may be that they dont want you to access this part of the bike? Other than hoovering out the motor vent cover nothing else is mentioned but i would have thought some moving parts will at least need lubing regularly. Keep up the great work 🙂
@@SnufflyTV When I get around to doing this video, I'll speak to my Canadian distributor contact to get more info on this. With respect to most of the parts you mentioned, you are right that they are not easily accessible as they are hidden behind the drivetrain cover that is secured in place with tamper proof, pin head security hex bolts. That's Wahoo's way of telling you that you do not need to touch that stuff. :) If something goes wrong with those parts, they want you deal with their authorized service teams. Actually, they specifically say that in removing that cover you will void their warranty. I will check, but the flywheel has few moving parts and is controlled by magnetic resistance. I doubt there is anything there that needs to be touched--ever. The only part that concerns me is the chainring and bottom bracket. Will they wear out over time and need replacement? But unlike outdoor bikes where bottom brackets can wear down regularly, indoors you get no contamination/grit/dirt making its way into the bearings to wear them out, so I suspect they will outlive the bike. I used my previous CycleOps 400 Pro for six years and the drivetrain was just as good when I sold it as when I bought it new. Just my thoughts.
@@bikesbymike Mike, thanks for that update , ive found it reassuring to have your thoughts. My Kickr is getting a bit of a beating from me at the moment as Im using it about 5 times a week as its way to cold to be outdoors. I suppose because its an expensive bit of kit I want to look after it as best i can and the maintenance guide just felt a bit light. Im sure you are right about not going near the drivetrain, im sure there would have been tools and some guidance if required. Look forward to seeing the video in the future. Many thanks Tim
Ich habe das neue v2 und die Fehler hat es immer noch. Bei 74 U/min gibt es ein sehr lautes Resonanzgeräusch. Im wiegetritt knackt es enorm. Das schlimmste aber ist, dass der Lenker immer nach unten rutscht egal wie fest man den Spanner anzieht. 🤮
Was das knackende Geräusch betrifft, sind Sie sicher, dass Sie genug Fett in die vorderen und hinteren unteren Rahmenkanäle (den Teil des Rahmens, der vertikal gleitet, um die Rahmenhöhe einzustellen) aufgetragen haben? Wenn der Lenker nach unten rutscht, tragen Sie Fahrrad-Carbonpaste (wie Muc-Off Carbon Gripper) auf das Lenkrohr auf. [Entschuldigung für die schlechte Übersetzung, da ich Google Translate verwendet habe]
Danke, Gut zu hören, denn mit diesen Fehlern kann ich mir den Kauf sparen und ich bleibe beim Kickr+Climb Setup, obwohl mich natürlich die Schaltung und das integrierte Steuern reizen würde.
@@wamote6867 Im letzten Monat fing mein rechter Schalthebel an, sich zu benehmen. Da dies ein bekanntes Problem war, stimmte Wahoo glücklicherweise (ohne zu fragen) zu, die Garantie von einem Jahr auf zwei Jahre zu verlängern, sodass ich nicht wegen der Kosten auf der Kippe stehen musste. Sie ersetzten die gesamte Lenkerbaugruppe. Ich hoffe, das ist das letzte Missgeschick.

Is this a v1 or V2 ?
