I love how you guys send the wonkiest quickrelease bar ever but don't show cinching it. Great job.

Does this work with single speed bikes?

I don't understand why a 126mm dropout bike won't fit. At the worst, a spacing washer or two between the quick release ends and the frame and then the spacing is 130mm at least. It's only 4mm.

Bought my snap brand new last year and it worked however I noticed the power never read accurately. Every spindown reported the exact same calibration number as well so I questioned if it was calibrating properly. The only thing I could identify was that the tire was never centered. The reason is because I had to unthread the left side clamp all the way to ever get the blue clamp even close to tight. As I setup just now this year it's the same thing. It's as if the frame of the unit is too wide, and since the adjustment is only on the left the tire has to be off center if the bike is going to be tight. Is this a known issue and is there a solution?

Even with 2 full turns, the tire squeaks and slips. Tried cleaning the tire and rolling surface, nothing helps.

Does it work with 120 mm rear wheels such as those from track bikes?

But...what if your bike doesn't use quick release axle? And Im guessing it wont work with 29" wheel.

I have been using the recommended 2 full turns of tension, but I have unfortunately delaminated 2 tires over that past couple months. Do you have any recommendations on how to avoid this? I used a road tire at 100 psi and the cycle ops training tire at 110 psi and both failed.

Anyone can help how to nake a 24 junior bike fir the snap, tire cant touch the flywheel.

I am getting a new carbon bike in a view days.

Canyon says that I would loose my guarantee if I'd use the bike with my kickr snap as their bikes are only certified to be used on direct drive trainers.

Are there huge differences in forces on the frame when comparing kickr snap with kickr core?
What do you think about the risk caused by using the kickr core with my new Grizl CF SL 7?

So stupid it doesn't come with a through axle and they force you to buy one from Europe cause they are out of stock

[laramai]

How much should the back tire be pumped?

[williamsimpson]

Seriously poor trainer this … drum on mine isn’t central and it’s unusable … Bearings are appalling too

[pedromarques]

Would this work with a track/fixed gear bike?
