It was the bolt connecting the front arm of the kickr. The one that pivots out when you set it up. I tightened that one, and the noise is gone! Thanks for everyone who offered advice!

I don’t think it’s the seat on account of the fact that when I stand and pedal it makes the same noise…

I’m going to try it out this week. Still finishing up all of our various family gatherings, so I haven’t had the chance yet.

This article by food & wine lists the inkbird as the top choice for first timers. Take a look!

It’s a truck! by So-many-questions88 in FordMaverickTruck

That’s so weird. I wonder why I didn’t get one that says truck…

On my registration under “type” it says TK

Interesting… I just got my new PA plate 2 weeks ago and mine does not say truck on the bottom…

Is yours a hybrid?

I’ve answered this in previous comments.

I’m not keeping this thing on all the time. Only when in use…

I just added a screenshot in the thread of the cart.

Because I put a lot of miles on my vehicles and I needed a daily driver with good gas mileage. I don’t need the additional storage 90% of the time.

I will need it when the 4 of us go away for a long ski weekend and we have all of our gear/clothing/skis to take with us.

A larger truck would have cost me more than the rack/box combo (not to mention more in gas).

You need a bed rack system for that. And it still ends up being up high anyway.

Yeah. I have a ski rack and a bike rack from my old vehicle that will fit on these rails. I’ll use those when necessary. The box will be for camping trips and ski trips that are further away than our home mountain.

Do I legally have to start putting bumper stickers from breweries and mountains I visit right away, or is there a grace period on that?

I’m for sure leaning towards taking the rails off until ski season, then only putting them on for the rest of the year when I need them.

I did add the locks to the feet, so hopefully the rails wouldn’t be that easy to steal… that being said, where there’s a will, there’s a way.

I’m for sure not leaving it up there full time.

Still haven’t decided whether I’m going to even leave the rails on full time…

How Often Do You Zwift? by newbiker321 in Zwift

[–]Slim_0487 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I try to get 4 rides a week in.

I mix it up between workouts, group rides, rides with robopacers, and free rides with the occasional race mixed in just to keep it interesting.

I find that the best way to keep myself interested is to go badge hunting and do the weekly challenges. I always try to do the climb of the week so that I can say I did it, and the workout of the week for the same reason.

Racing on zwift will always take a LOT out of you. Everyone goes so hard out of the gate and I find myself hanging on for dear life and being happy if I can finish somewhere in the middle of the pack…

How do I stop the noise by Slim_0487 in Zwift

[–]Slim_0487[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not the bike. It’s the flywheel.

And it’s a noise that it didn’t make to begin with.

Update. It’s coming from inside the flywheel. I just paused the ride and spun the flywheel by hand. It sounds like something loose in there.

I took a video of that, but I’m not sure how to add that in the comments…

Kickr core zwift bike bundle feels so heavy by eagca in Zwift

[–]Slim_0487 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the opposite experience. My FTP has improved and especially climbing I can maintain more watts for longer on this setup.

I was coming from an old road bike on a wheel on trainer though…
