Yes, I just watched DC’s video. I think I’m going to go with Zwift Hub One.
Seems like the right way to go. It will work for my Ordu and my daughters 26” Devinci Rocket
I just overanalyzed my entire purchase after my V3 Kickr died last week. The Zwift Hub is definitely the right choice. I was ready to pull the trigger on the Hub after Wahoo HQ told me (in writing) that 9,000 is a reasonable life span of a Kickr unit. I really thought they'd last longer.
With that said, I did end up with a new V6 Kickr, however only because my LBS stepped up. When I told them what happened with Wahoo (long story), they offered me a V6 basically at cost (a little over). That put the V6 and Hub almost at the same price. The LBS basically did what Wahoo should have done.
I'm still not sure about my decision. I love the idea of virtual shifting, and the V6 Wi-Fi doesn't really work. I've only done a couple of rides on it, but the Wi-Fi never stays connected. I'm also not sure about buying another Wahoo product. I figured if I didn't like it, I could dump it in Marketplace. V5's are selling more than what i paid for the new V6.
Enjoy the new trainer.
For what it's worth, I've been waiting for my Kickr V1 to die and it refuses to do so! It lives in a garage, is subjected to lots of temp and humidity swings (place is a steamroom after I'm done working out, and in the AM the condensation is bad enough to have shorted out my treadmill twice) but it just keeps on cranking.
I was hoping to upgrade, but friggin' thing is lasting forever! I use a lot too, like 3x/wk on average, all my hard sweatfest intervals are done on it, so I'm not babying it either. I've done zero maintenance on it either, haven't even wiped it off more than once.
Same with my v2 Kickr. Probably close to 18,000 miles on it and it just won't die. Everytime it starts sounding like it's going to die I find it's my bike, not the trainer....
