Well, at least is this no different than so much (cr)Apple technologies.


That would be a fair analogy if Apple were still selling these pieces of s*** and telling you they were cutting edge:

You mean instead of the hideously over priced, under performing and unreliable "high end" Macbook they sold me, with office and basic file admin software that's a decade behind the times?

New technology does not mean it's better. Just look at power meters.

What does the CT do better?


I would say not a lot and I have both.

Kickr has;
- bigger flywheel and better road feel
- no wires and crap on your bike
- works with idevices, PC, Mac and Linux
- has firmware updates all the time
- can attach any bike regardless of wheel size
- no setup hassles, just pop off back wheel and go
- open apis no secret code
- is being developed actively e.g set resistance via PM readings
- supports bluetooth and ant+

CT has;
- spinscam
- Ergvideo
- no open api *
- handlebar controller

Mark

* the support outside of ergvideo and rm1 is despite not because of Racermate.

Does the Wahoo app also work with Android?

Looks like Racermate is/will be providing an open API after all and they list support for "Microsoft, Apple, Android and Linux".
