Wahoo Kickr setup

Post by CarlBarth »

Ok so managed to finally take delivery of my Wahoo Kickr 2018 refurb model.
I cannot fit the blooming bike to it 😫
Boardman ADV 8.9 changed the rear cassette on the Kickr and used a 1.8mm spacer supplied by local shop as one did not come with it.
Problem is the skewer. Need to use 142 spacers which I have but the skewer on the bike is the standard width not 12mm.
So need adapters but what ones?
Also do not get a cadence thingy, all the videos show one.

Any help appreciated

Confused. What you describe isn't right. I think you're missing something fundamental here.

Get some pics and post it all here

Will do Weeksy. Its a gravel bike 142mm drop out. Skewer is normal diameter. The kickr adapters to convert to 142 mm wide takes a 12mm skewer. I need adapters to use normal diameter skewer with 142mm width. Seems half the bits are missing. Have emailed Wahoo as well

These are the spacers that came with it. No way of using a 5mm skewer with the 142 mm adapters.

Erm ok, so the website I looked at said my model Boardman had 142mm spacing. Turns out the 2021 model does, mine is 135mm

Should have measured it but was getting late and brain was fried from work. Anyway in the cold light of day it is now fitted.

Wahoo confirmed that the cadence meter is not needed with this model and the cassette spacer, manual and caliper spacer doe snot come with the refurb model.

Will spin it up and adjust the gears (which needed doing anyway) over the weekend.
