Kickr Climb Gradient Simulator

[madbradd]

This is something they are considering, but is not on the roadmap at the moment. Your training software connects with KICKR and the KICKR connects wirelessly to the CLIMB via ANT+.

 

From DC Rainmaker's writeup:

 

"Well, with this method it simply takes direction from the KICKR/SNAP, and the KICKR/SNAP already knows your grade from the course/route you’re riding.  Apps like Zwift and Kinomap send gradient commands already to the KICKR/SNAP, and the trainer simply executes those.  With the CLIMB added to the picture, the trainer just relays that command onwards to CLIMB and then CLIMB follows along as well.

To get things paired up you’ll take the wired remote control from the CLIMB and bring it next to the KICKR/SNAP, which uses proximity pairing.  This remote uses an old-school style telephone coil cable, and has a small handlebar grip/clamp built in:"

You're saying it connects with ANT - so does it show up on your Garmin/ELEMNT if you seach all devices? And can that remote be used to adjust manually even if the CLIMB is not paired with the Kickr?

Not sure if it will show up on Garmin as I do not think Garmin has trainer control based on gradient yet. It will however integrate and simulate on the Wahoo ELEMNT and the built in training programs. 

 

Yes, the remote is used for manual adjustment.
