At PK'S BIKE SHOP, we have been using the Wahoo Snap ( purchase here! amzn.to/2HCZGpz ) for many years. We like it very much, but with all things that are this "techy" there is a learning curve and there are some important key points to know. We hope that we help you with your overall experience with your Wahoo Snap!

PK's Bike Shop LLC I Bike Sales, Service, and Rentals You are most welcome. Your video as short and to the point. I watch it when my kicker does strange things. Power was jumping from zero to 200 plus. I started over did 2 full turns on the roller, pumped the tire. Back in gear. Thanks. I'm almost 70 tech stuff can be difficult at times.

@Mosely2007 5 жыл бұрын

Have you had any issues? My snap is junk. It does whatever it likes. Change screens it brakes. The app closes mid use again the brake. It's like it isn't communicating with the trainer, total junk. Been trying since Dec to get it fixed . Wahoo has stopped responding. Ticker heart monitor lasted about a month. Second one just quit. Uninstalled , reinstalled nothing helps.

@jseski9209 5 жыл бұрын

Paul - great job explaining how to do the spindowns. However, how about a vid showing what to do or how to fix or troubleshoot when either of these (or the Zwift) spindown FAILS!?! I can't find anything that provides any "adjustments" that can be made to correct a failed spindown (other than the standard, check your tire pressure, two full turns on the resistance knob, etc). Thoughts, comments, or maybe a new vid?? :)

@PKsBikeShopLLCFernandinaBeach 5 жыл бұрын

I like that idea! I just went to a customers house yesterday to fix this exact issue! He had a Cycleops trainer and couldn't calibrate on Zwift. Well, after some research, I found out that there is an issue with Zwift iOS and Cycleops Magnus. So I unplugged his ipad, (so there was no connection to the trainer at all) then I installed the Rouvy app on his phone and Calibrated there...it worked great. So a video may come soon on that, but make sure that there are no other devices attached to your trainer. That is just one possibility of failing...

Should the gears be used? I dont use them, and I dont used third apps like zwift. I use the trainer and change the % on the app manually. Similar question: Which gear should it be on? (I left the chain in the middle so it goes straight to the gears).

@PKsBikeShopLLCFernandinaBeach 3 ай бұрын

You def can use gears and I prob would change the gears once in awhile. The issue is you’ll just wear out that one cog a lot quicker by not changing gears.

what if you don`t double knob and only touch the trainer wheel slightly but good enough that it does not slip. Does it affect the power? Also, is this still legit in 2021?

The did not entirely remove it. When you tap "spindown" in the app, there is a message explaining the process of the spindown. Tap the message 5 times, and the Perform Factory Spindown option will appear at the bottom. I had to do this as my Kickr Snap was reporting about 60 watts under, now it finally works as it should after doing the advanced spindown.
