hi
Due to an injury layoff I am looking at purchasing a smart trainer.
The wahoo kickr core seems to get good reviews and is mtb compatible.
Now my question, I understand a cassette is not included, I want to put one of my mountain bikes on there which is running xt 1 x 11 (30- 11 x 46)
Which rear cassette do I need to purchase? Would an identical cassette suffice? Or does it need to be more road biased?
I dont own a road bike, but do have 3 mtbs all with 1 x gearing ( one is sram gx Eagle 1 x 12, don't want to use the sram though) the other is slx 1 x 11
Does anyone have any Ideas on what rear cassette to buy?
You'll want a cassette to match your bike or you'll be having to adjust your mech each time you put it on the trainer. A few teeth won't matter too much though. If you're doing structured workouts you'll be using ERG mode which sets the power regardless of gearing and if not you'll welcome easier gears on the steepest terrain anyway. You might spin out on the longest descents but that's not training anyway. Kickr Core owner here too, albeit road bike.
Brilliant, that's just the advice, I was after.
I assume I can link my phone to my TV (LG oled smart tv) to run zwift through it via a hdmi cable?
Now to purchase a fan and a sweat matt!
