Wahoo kickr snap 2 or cycleops m2

hi which one will you choose and why. dcrainmaker says cycleops easier to setup wheel on rolker and more gradient.

I have the Kickr snap 2, it works ok - wish I had got the direct drive one though. The wheel on is great because it a lot cheaper, pretty quick to put your bike on. However - it doesn't work when your tyre is wet cos you commuted home and want to do a quick session indoors ... cos its raining outside 

 

I also find it sucks at higher watts, so you won't get to max gradient imho on either. If your buying and its about cost, get the cheaper one.

I'd take the cycleops, it was on special over the 947 expo week, maybe they can still help you out with a good deal.

It doesn’t matter which you get, either one will be able to generate an extreme amount of discomfort for your legs.   
 

Direct drive is considerably better though.

I don't want to be THAT guy but I'm going to so sorry.

 

Save up a few extra Ront and get a direct drive trainer. Or get one 2nd hand. You should be able to pick a 2nd hand one up for close to the cost of a new snap. There's lots of them on here for sale and paired up with your flavour of suffering (Rouvy, Zwift etc) they are great.
