Very helpful, after two years it was about time I got around to it. Your video made it a breeze. Thanks.

Glad it helped. I was expecting this video to get more views since there are so many Kickr bikes out there. Maybe you and I are the rare few that are maintaining it 😄

Awesome work, great video. You helped me very much! Thanks ‼️

Must be the worlds cleanest garage, well done

Hah! Thanks. It’s usually people walking past on the sidewalk that say that.

Thanks for the video, Mike. It is very useful and easy to follow the steps. Still have one issue with my kickr-bike... my right shifter is not working properly... when I need to use it, I have to make some pressure on the wire near the tape... any tip to solve this? Thanks

Sergio, the problem you are describing is exactly what I experienced not once, but twice in the three years I've owned my Kickr Bike. The shifter is defective. It happened four months from date of purchase and then again 12 months later. The right shifter would only activate if I put pressure on the cable, and even then, it was intermittent. I'm in Canada, so Wahoo USA put me in contact with their Canadian distributor located in Toronto. They replaced the whole handlebar assembly both times under warranty. I suggest you contact Wahoo and see if they will fix it under warranty. Thanks for watching and reaching out!

Thanks Mike.. newly subscribed as found your video easy to watch and informative. A common failure of the Neobike has happened to mine and I’m trying to get Garmin to help under warranty. What is your experience of the support from Wahoo, indeed is there a best brand from this perspective?

Glad you liked it! I have dealt with Wahoo Customer Service on two occasions and have had good experiences with them both times. My right shifter died on me twice; the first time within the one-year warranty period and the second time 4 months outside the warranty period. Wahoo USA Customer Support connected me with their Canadian distributor (located in Toronto) both times. The first time, the Canadian distributor responded to me within one day and I had a new handlebar assembly within a couple days. Completely no hassle. Since the same right shifter broke about a year later, Wahoo agreed to replace the part outside the warranty period since it was a recurring problem. Again, no hassle process and I was up and running within a few days. While it’s a bit concerning that I had two issues within the first two years, I’m happy with how Wahoo handled the situation. I can't speak to the other spin bike brands as I have no experience dealing with them, but I am happy with Wahoo.

It is really helpful video. thank you so much. I have one question; it is very hard to put the gear above 8 or 9. If i put the gear 11-12 i can not pedal it. mostly i ride on gear 6-7 the power is ok but cant go to higher gears. you have any idea for this? Thanks

The resistance on gears 11 and 12 is significant, but you should be able to pedal them once your cadence is up to speed. Starting those top gears from a dead stop is extremely difficult, though. Given you can pedal gears 6 and 7 just fine, it doesn’t sound like a bike malfunction. My only suggestion is to make sure you are running the latest firmware by launching the “Wahoo Fitness” smartphone app and connecting it to your Kickr Bike. If a software update is required, you will be notified on your phone. Good luck and thanks for watching!

Great video! How a out the belt? Is there a way to mantain/ replace it?

Nothing in the manual and I haven’t opened up the drivetrain cover to check it out. They do last much longer than chains but still will need to be replaced at some point.

Thanks for the detailed video. Have you checked if the QR washers used for the saddle and handle adjustments are worn out? If yes, what is the size of the washer to be replaced. Thanks

Good question as I was wondering about that myself. My washers are still fine, but will need to be replaced eventually. They don't look like standard quick release washers to me. I'd say your best bet is to contact Wahoo Fitness customer support to get the exact spec. Maybe they'll send you a couple for free or at least tell you where you can pick them up.

Update: Wahoo support sent me 1 washer for the saddle. Fits perfectly. Will be ordering another one for the stack.

Thanks for the video. I do have a problem with my fly wheel, sometimes I hardly can turn the pedals because the resistance gets so hard,even only riding on 3% climb. It happens tonight I'm a Zwift race. And if the cadence comes in about 70-75 the same problem. Any idea with the fly Wheel.? Is there a way to mainstance this ?

I’m not sure. I’ve only had that happen to me twice and both times it wasn’t a hardware issue. I’d rule out any software issues first. One time the resistance went wonky every five seconds or so. It was due to a drop in my home’s WiFi bandwidth. The second time it happened because my Kickr wasn’t running off the latest Wahoo firmware. I update the firmware using the Wahoo smartphone app and the problem was resolved. The only other thing I can think of is that the signal is being interrupted between your Kickr Bike and whatever device you are running Zwift off of. Hope this helps. Good luck!

hey mike can you tell me which products I need? for seat post for handlebars and for the piston tongue. so the whole list. I can do everything according to your video

okay, found everything, thank you. do you use the pedal washers on wahoo bike?

Hack - for those that share the bike with another person and frequently adjust the seat and handle bar height, swap out the stock bolts for Sunlite Steel Quick Release Seat Binder Bolt
