Cost aside, any additional benefits to your case versus the BBA Aero Easyfit?

I don’t know thier case so I don’t want to comment on it.

With ours it’s made of ABSPC - super light and strong- two fixed and 2 swivel wheels, 3 wheel cavities with tire protectors and wheel bags, no need to disassemble your base bar, no more zipper, 4 buckle latch system with combination and TSA locks. The bike is strapped 3 ways so it is suspended inside the case. Rim or disc brake compatable.

Thanks. My current case I need to pack my seat post and saddle separately to make it under 50.

I'm looking at Indoor Trainers.

Either the Tacx Neo 2T or the Wahoo Kickr (v6 or Core).

My bike being built will have SRAM Force AXS.

My understanding is that regardless of whether I go with the Kickr or Neo 2T, I also need to buy the XD/XD-R (type 2) free to support it.

I asked Garmin, but they weren't much help at all.

Exactly on the inventory part! We are definitely on the slim side of inventory. Still a struggle to get some items when we want them, but thankfully it seems we are only about a 1-2 month delay now vs the 6 months plus about a year ago!

We have a sale going on too. One of our biggest discounts of the year as a way of saying a HUGE THANKS for supporting our small family run business!

My book, Triing: A Journey of discovery, challenges, and camaraderie while racing in 50 States and the continents beyond, is now discounted by 25% ($5.00! and no code needed) through Cyber Monday at Amazon:

Triing: A Journey of discovery, challenges, and camaraderie while racing in 50 States and the continents beyond.: Morris, Doug: 9798848193657: Amazon.com: Books

It’s a chronological story of how to create racing adventures to experience personal and professional achievements in sports, family, and different cultures with amazing people. Persistence and resiliency at crucial moments helped overcome challenges like life changes, limited training, missing bicycles, panic attacks, and more. And yes, some luck helped also.


Triing is a motivational read for triathletes, parents, siblings, professionals, or volunteers. And includes unique content about relatives or friends with special needs—lots of excitement at a cost of less than those crummy add-on aktive fees incurred when signing up for races.
And for people not too keen on triathloning, it offers some escapism entertainment. Readers will relate to stories that can influence their life's outcomes to achieve goals once thought unattainable.

You live in the mid atlantic area? I have a Saris H3 I bought and used 2x. (first world problem-I bought 2...1 for rim brake bike and one for disc brake).

If they have a persons size Merlin has some good clothing prices on all manner of things. I bought three bibs originally $125 for $50 and a LS jersey half off.

I’m looking for a deal on lactate meter - anyone got anything?

Per DCR's post yesterday the Wahoo Kickr Core is now going to be $500 as its normal price, or $600 with a cassette and a year of Zwift. So seems like the choice is basically that for most folks, or for the next level up, the Tacx Neo 2 is currently $900 ($500 off) on REI and Amazon.

Same deal in the Super League Store. 50% off on all technical clothing. Got a bib+shirt for €110 including shipping. The trisuits were originally quite expensive (€250) so even the half off offer didn’t entice me to buy (as I don’t really need another trisuit) but it could appeal to someone who is indeed looking. (Just careful with the Warriors, Eagles, etc. team trisuits as they have no diapers, ugh).

"FTP is a bit 2015, don't you think?" - Gustav Iden

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

Any pics of the new case? The zipper, IMO, was the only thing I don't love about the case; otherwise, it's freaking fantastic.

Not yet. The rest of the cast looks the same other than 4 buckle locks.

I have added internal pieces around the edges that create the overlap so one side of the clamshell fits into the other side.

I’ve added full wheel bags as well as the tire protectors to add additional layers between the wheels and the side pads and the bike.

The other change is to make it compatible for six brake wheels as well as rim brake wheels.

Got front wheel and rear disc with 20% off

Code STBFPB


Which have tested very good according to our resident aero tester

SUPER happy!

Just used the code STBFPB

Yes. You need the XD/XD-R freehub for the Neo 2T. From what I can see online, they are being sold with HG freehubs. My wife is a Garmin dealer and she can select the freehub option when ordering a Neo trainer. So, maybe look around for a local dealer offering the sale price so you can pick the freehub coming with the trainer.

ETA: after checking direct from Garmin it looks like the price bumps up $103 for the SRAM freehub. This sucks but it still saves $30 over buying it separate: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/701670

Just checking is the STBF23 code from the front oage active yet?

Yes - I turned it on an hour ago.

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.

I’ve had a lot of people reach out telling my the 9,000 mile thing is low and that they do last longer. Wahoo was just trying get out of helping me in any way. They spent a month deflecting my problem before admitting that it was my kickr and then told me they can’t sell me any parts or tools to fix my Kickr or even offer me any type of discount to buy replacement kickr. I contacted HQ and they are the ones who put in writing that a Kickr dying at 9,000 is a reasonable outcome.

My LBS stepped up when they didn’t have to.
