Shim to SRAM, in need of a KICKR Core XDR freehub body

[Matt Gibbs]

I’m changing from shimano group set to sram group set soon and with that I need to update my Kickr core hub to a Wahoo KICKR Core XDR freehub body and 12 speed cassette. 

if anyone out there is looking to swap out their SRAM to Shimano cassette and hub for their Kickr core please reach out to me. 
 

Based in Sunningdale 👌🏼

A 12 speed Shimano or Sunrace HG cassette will work fine with the SRAM setup.

Or what I did was buy a 2nd hand lightly used sram 12 speed NX cassette which also fits on a shimano HG hub

If it’s for SRAM electronic road or SRAM Transmission then the above solutions won’t work very well as the SRAM flat top chain requires a SRAM cassette. If it’s Eagle then a cheap Shimano HG cassette works fine.

Spot on!

My road bike is SRAM AXS 12 speed hence, Shimano or anything generic will not work on my trainer. 
I also need the Wahoo XDR freehub body for my KICKR. 
So double whammy it seems.

Does your kickr support this? It’s a nicer solution if it does I think.  https://www.buycycle.co.za/product/zwift-click-zwift-cog-upgrade-kit/

Ill need to check, I got my kickr used with no box, but I have the paperwork for it so I’ll ask my friend Claude to give me his opinion. 

Always wanted the ease of use with the zwift cog funny enough so this might make sense for me. 

Thanks for the great idea!

As far as I am aware, that Zwft cog only makes sense if you're training exclusively on Zwift. But would not be upset if I was proven wrong cos then I'll buy one

I think it depends on what you want to use it for. It works in ERG mode for all apps and then there is some support on other apps like Rouvy. There also seems to be a mobile app called QZ that allows you to control the cog which is a pretty neat solution but I don’t have one, so can’t test it.

I'll ask around; if I find out anything useful, I'll respond here.
