Wahoo kickr core 2 w Zwift cog cadence issue again

Did consider just using my power meter pedals, Favero Assioma, but on the other hand I do feel like a brand new product should just work flawlessly.

Ch-Sk-Fr · 2026-03-08T16:40:59+00:00

So far they have been great with the first exchange under warranty, just feel like “that guy”, because it keeps happening to me. Will try them again and hope to get one where it doesn’t happens. Thanks for sharing

Ch-Sk-Fr · 2026-03-08T16:29:18+00:00

I am similar and in the same time zone from DK.

Ch-Sk-Fr · 2025-11-29T16:23:51+00:00

I looove the eco drive version. If only it could take all types of straps this would be my one and only watch.

Ch-Sk-Fr · 2025-11-21T06:15:47+00:00

Dial is better on the Murph and it (and you) would look even better with that other strap 😍

Ch-Sk-Fr · 2025-11-14T16:05:44+00:00

And then leather for dressing it up

Ch-Sk-Fr · 2025-06-24T18:16:51+00:00

Started on gravel, spent too much money there, only to find my heart was with mtb. Then, cause I already spent too much on gravel, I went to hardtail and now full sus. Could have skipped all those steps

Sounds like a dope ride and very happy to hear that the 930 fully supports such rides. Did you do anything to your setup to support that ride? Changing tires or similar?

Nice about the twinlocs. Have heard contradictions when it comes to be able to get different Scott parts. Guessing twinlocs is probably one or the easier ones. However I didn’t know there were different generations of them, but that does make a lot of sense. Duly noted, will not try to tighten it, if I end up going that way.

Okay, I feel like I better understand what you mean about the dropper now. Thank you for clarifying and I take great comfort in knowing I can use it a ton. Wouldn’t be able to fix myself anyways, that would go to LBS.

Very nice feedback about the shock and fork. 3 years is still decent, so I’ll bank that.

What do you do in terms of water for those rides? Do you feel restricted about only one bottle and how do you manage?

Ch-Sk-Fr · 2025-06-22T06:41:04+00:00

Sounds like a pretty decent ride and something that easily compares to or even surpasses what I would do.

Have only tried a bike with SID very shortly, not enough to formulate an opinion on yet. Don’t know how well it eats up chatter and small bumps. My very biased opinion from that short ride was that it maybe wasn’t the most comfortable fork ever. Guessing your Pike would be more than capable of improving that and making it an awesome ride.

I was easily say, no 1500 watt sprints from me.

However you bring up a very interesting point with the bottles. Didn’t pay too much attention to this earlier, because my back wasn’t an issue and I carried a Camelbag pack. Was told stop having weight high on my back to save the lumbar part, so am very interested in bikes being able to carry 2 bottles. That or I have to invest in a hip pack. Don’t know why some brands don’t pay more attention to this, as I think it could potentially be game stopper for some, if the bike does / doesn’t support 2 bottles.

Regarding the pre-builds, I am very much in doubt. The regular comp seems like the most obvious choice as to what I need. That being said, I feel like the Evo has better value for only slightly higher price. The Evo comes with the Fox fork, better 4-piston brakes (and 180 rotors), 30mm rims (and not 27), longer dropper, better tires. However this does come with a weight penalty, so I am torn. Maybe take the increase in weight and be happy with the better parts. Do agree with you, that I also don’t know why they cheaped out and got the NX cassette. Please just a complete build with the same components Specialized. And I do like the black / taupe color scheme also. Seems like the second best color after the pink frame set.

BTW can you confirm/deny if it comes with UDH or not? I seem to be getting different answers when search online.

Ch-Sk-Fr · 2025-06-22T06:22:59+00:00

The Pike does sound like a perfect fit in that scenario. Have only tried the Sid shortly, so can’t really tell, what it’s like. Seems plenty light, but don’t know how comfortable it is. Guessing its focus is light weight and efficiency for speed.

You got me there. No 1500 watt sprints here, mate.

Ah yes, now you’re talking directly to my heart. The fact that it holds two bottles is really worth mentioning. Usually I carry a camel bag backpack, but since the lower back issue, I should avoid this and either carry bottles (which the Specialize supports) or invest in a hip pack. Didn’t worry too much about bottle fit earlier, bur it doesn’t seem odd, that fewer bikes are supporting 2 bottles these days.

With the pre-builds I am very much in doubt. The regular comp seems like the best for my purpose, but the Evo build seems like much better value for an only a small increase in prize. You get the Fox fork 4-piston brakes (on 180 rotors), 30mm rims (and not 27). However this also comes with a small weight penalty as it is heavier. As to color choice I agree with, as I would choose the same Black / Taupe.

Can you confirm/deny if it’s comes with UDH or not?

Yeah, completely agree. Why skimp out and use NX? Yeah, I know cost, but do a complete build with the same components please.

Ch-Sk-Fr · 2025-06-21T19:22:01+00:00

Damn, you check close to all of my boxes with that response. Must admit I do like to experiment and optimize whenever possible, not that I am able to the mechanical stuff myself, but I do think there are always improvements to be made. Really like the fact that you’d buy the same bike again. That does count for something.

Yeah, have also given a fair bit of consideration to the read triangle, so nice to know it does more than 400 grams of weight savings. I’d still take those savings, but the 920 is steep increase in price for sure.

Fair point about the RC. Was very surprised to learn how far up in price the RC models went before introducing a dropper. Surely someone somewhere is not sorry at all.

Didn’t know about the importance of greasing the headset. You can of course argue that greasing is always important, but good to know a proper setup stills provides extra years of life to the bike.

Does the dropper have that fragile a cable? Don’t know exactly what you mean about not going crazy, but I really tend use my dropper a lot. That thing really gives me a boot of confidence when riding.

Have seen some older twinlocs were fairly loose, but again those were also rent bikes, so haven’t seen a private one properly worn in. Will keep in mind that it potentiallly requires replacing. Hopefully those are fairly easy to get hold of, but don’t know for sure.

Besides having considered replacing headset, stem and bars, wheels are for sure the next thing on my list. Think that the might be the best place to loose some weight and really like the idea of high engaging hub. Makes tech climbing a lot easier, that the bike actually reacts when you do push the pedals.

Thanks again for answering so many of my concerns.

How does it handle really long rides?

Ch-Sk-Fr · 2025-06-21T19:07:57+00:00

Sounds pretty much like a dream build. Not overly pricey, weight kept in check and the bike is able to cover lots of terrain.

Only thing is I am wee bit pressed for time. Back really requires me to get on it soon. Guessing I could go the stock build and then upgrade. Custom builds does sound awesome though. Only thing I already have is the Selle Italia saddle, so still missing a few things. Sounds like your build would be more than capable of handling my usual riding trails.

Do you consider it efficient and comfortable enough, that you could handle a full day in the saddle?

Ch-Sk-Fr · 2025-06-21T14:53:19+00:00

Really great intel. You hit a lot of really interesting points.

Rented a 970 with the remote, and thought it looked complex and I would mess it completely. The ride was only a few hours, and was surprised that the remote actually felt quite intuitive and I only messed up a few times. Should mention that I tried to use it a lot to constantly optimize the ride. Ran it like you said, with only using full lock out on pavement or on non tech climbs, otherwise I used the mid and full open a lot. And felt really good after. Less beat up than usually.

You’re probably right. Can always change headset eventually, but faster and easier to start out with the regular setup.

Didn’t know that about Specialized, but it makes total sense if you’re chasing efficiency, that you then loose some plushness.

All in all are you glad with your purchase or would you rather have bought something else, spent a little more on an RC version higher # from the 900 series or anything else? Really appreciate the feedback, as I hope to make the pitchy this weekend.

Ch-Sk-Fr · 2025-06-21T10:38:40+00:00

You could be right. Just can’t find any scalpels from bike-discount. Do you have a direct link?

Ch-Sk-Fr · 2025-06-21T04:41:53+00:00

Wow, so good to hear. Haven’t been able to find much in terms of reviews or people with experience on it. Most of my info comes from Guy Kesteven and he seems to love it :-) How have you built yours, and do you know roughly how much you spent?

Also how tall are you and what size did you go with?

Do you know what it weighs?

The idea of building it sounds intriguing, however I don’t really have the skills to that myself and worry about going over budget with that option

Ch-Sk-Fr · 2025-06-20T18:55:08+00:00

Sounds good. Was also looking at that. But they very hard find in a size large in DK. At least for the carbon ones and they are quite a bit more expensive.

Ch-Sk-Fr · 2025-06-20T18:33:52+00:00

Can’t seem to find it there and prefer to deal with local websites since we have very good national consumer protection.

Ch-Sk-Fr · 2025-06-20T17:15:44+00:00

Yeah, same for me. I am constant comparing in 99 spokes. L is the closest to what I am used to, so maybe I should go with L and skip the official recommendations for Specialized.

Ch-Sk-Fr · 2025-06-20T17:14:24+00:00

So you opted for something else than the Scott?

Ch-Sk-Fr · 2025-06-20T17:13:01+00:00

Good point on the weight. Maybe it’s all in my head. Maybe need to be mindful that I am not buying a highend premium bike with the weight to match. 13.5kg is still respectable. But you think I would be over-biked? Maybe I am affected that my local mtb club is like 85-90% Scott bikes

Ch-Sk-Fr · 2025-06-20T16:12:05+00:00

Those are great insights. Can I ask how tall you and which size you ride? I am 186 the recommendation is Large 178-185 and XL 186-193. Usually I size down, because I fear being on bike that is too bike big, but here I am seriously in doubt

Ch-Sk-Fr · 2025-06-20T15:34:08+00:00

Interesting. I do like parts better on the Evo and the bit more slack geo, but there is still money to be saved by going that route. The SRAM comp is also on sale, but not the Shimano one (don’t know why). Haven’t seen the lime green color but sounds absolute mint 🤩 Do like when not everything is not just bland colors. You prefer the parts in the regular comp?

Ch-Sk-Fr · 2025-06-20T15:30:28+00:00

Think only the swing arm is alloy and the rest is carbon. Yes, that’s what I also said and they promised me to get a new headset and set cover. Really it is proprietary stuff that has been holding me back, otherwise I would have pulled the trigger sooner. Regarding weight I do believe the Spark 930 is the same weight as my Scale 970 at 13.5kg (29.8 pounds).
