lechatnoir Posted October 4, 2018 Share OK, so the initial joy of the first 15 rides has been tempered somewhat after the last 2 ended up with a high-pitched whine/screech coming from the trainer after about 20min. Was doing intervals of about 2min (100W) off and 30sec (500W) on Zwift - the Wringer to be specific. The first time I stopped and did a spindown test and it happened at around 35kmh again. The noise happens with or without load. I'm going to have another crack tomorrow, this time with a camera capturing video which I'll take to store on Saturday Anyone have any ideas in the meantime?

Probably a bearing that is out of spec. The Wahoo agents should really sort this out for you via the store you bought it from. lechatnoir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lechatnoir Posted October 4, 2018 Share I considered that it MAY have been one of my kittens had jumped into the spokes, but I still have all of them, so it's not that. Looks like video proof is in order before the store visit. Will report back Pure Savage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lechatnoir Posted October 16, 2018 Share The feedback... Returned the trainer to CWC with a lovely 4k/60p video as proof after it happened a third time. Collected my trainer yesterday, so was very fortunate to do a SECOND unboxing of the lovely Kickr 2018. Did an interval session this morning, and lo and behold, there's a knock on each pedal stroke accompanied by a bell-like ding from the trainer with a definite 'buzz' into all contact points on teh bike. Perhaps there'll be a third unboxing? Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lechatnoir Posted October 19, 2018 Share well, third time's a charm... let's hope. took my trusty steed to CWC and between Charne and Ettienne, I have a third Kickr in the space of 2 weeks. Kudos CWC for sticking through this. Let's hope this one lasts the distance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
