Hello everyone,
REI started their spring members sale today (20% off one full item). I also have $110 in dividends. That means I can get the Kicker Core for less than $650 (down from $900). But I’m afraid I’m getting a lemon considering people are still having problems with it (more here). And Wahoo has been really good about replacing broken unites.
I’m coming from a 3 year old Tacx Vortex Smart. It's an ok trainer, but I know a direct-drive is better, more accurate and soooo much quieter. I will probably be able to sell my Tacx for around $400 (don’t ask!), making the Kicker Core “investment” only $250. And I might get 5% "cash back" from using the REI Mastercard.
What do you guys think?
Thanks.
