Capricorn Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) I hope this thread covers Kickr Snap as well So for those who do own this indoor tormentor; have you noted a slow/variable response to power levels when in erg mode? For instance, when whatever app is being used to demand a certain power output, it feels like the IDT is slow to achieve the required resistance or it comes on in fits and starts. For instance, going from 80% FTP to 140%, my hub power meter is indicating i've reached the desired power, but trainer road power indication shows I'm lagging behind, but eventually catches up so that the hub power meter reading and the IDT reading/demand are the same. Wheel slip?It's abit annoying because trainer road will indicate I'm running a deficit in power level, all because I did not seem to get to the required power level at the start of the interval. I'm aware that erg mode responds to cadence when determining what level of resistance to apply. I've noted that on trainerroad, the power level deficit is bigger if I go into the start of a higher power interval with a high cadence (which is what is required during the lower power recovery sessions).I can reduce the deficit by slowing the cadence and then ramping up to meet required power levels during the last 2 seconds of countdown to the next interval. the closer I start to the start of the interval, the lower the deficit. If I don't micromanage the situation to that level, I get slapped with a deficit. I feel this is the Snap's behavior more than Trainerroad, as the same behavior is noted when using Rouvy. But open to alternate perspectives and guidance Edited January 22, 2019 by Capricorn

JJ Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 This is more a wahoo in general question? Is there any way from your side ( Wahoo South Africa) that you can convince Discovery to use wahoo as a official training tool, like they do with Garmin? I’ve requested it numerous times from Discovery to no avail. RocknRolla 1

I’ve requested it numerous times from Discovery to no avail.Great question. We're actively working on this link and hope to have the first phase of the integration completed by end of February. We'll definitely keep Hubbers posted on our progress here as it is one of the most frequently asked questions on the Wahoo ELEMNT range. Gr3mlin131, mtbDobby, shaper and 1 other 4
Dexter-morgan Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I recently got a Kickr 2 with a Bike from a Hubber, apart from the slight noise, I love to hate this training tool, best piece of kit I have purchased. RocknRolla, Christian van Zyl and matzos ball 3
Dexter-morgan Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Good morning, does anyone perhaps have a Kickr Calibration tool, I can use, I compared my Kickr to a Freinds Garmin Vector 2 pedals and My kickr over reads by about 50 watts(Which I have suspected, no ways I have a FTP of arouns 280w), I have done the spindown but can not find how to do the advanced factory spindown - Thank you in advance.

I'm sure you will be assisted by Christian.However, I don't believe that you should compare the vector pedals directly with the kickr, not the same method of measurement. Incidentally how did you compare the two power meters with each other? Which protocol did you use to determine your FTP?
Dexter-morgan Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 I did the FTP on my trainer just after I got it in December, I put his bike on my trainer with his Garmin paired to his pedals and then the Wahoo app separately.

I ride with a power meter on all my bikes and the Kickr feels by far MUCH harder.
Dexter-morgan Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 I would also like to do this exercise. I ride with a power meter on all my bikes and the Kickr feels by far MUCH harder.Mine felt way too easy.
aiyaaz Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 I tested my new kickr 2018 last night and it automatically asked if I wanted to do an advanced spin down...maybe because it is new, not sure. I did read on a few sites the method laid out in the following link: https://www.smartbiketrainers.com/advanced-spindown-calibration-wahoo-kickr-snap-4350

I haven't tried these on mine yet, as I've not yet had the time, but will try tonight. I cancelled when the prompt asked if I wanted to do factory spindown.
