Love my Kickr CLIMB! Paired with my 2018 Kickr and the new Headwind, it's the ultimate setup.

I love my Climb and I have noticed how much easier hills are in the real world now. I just wish Zwift would implement a "Slope" block in the workout mode so we can build our own hills.

Thanks Shane I did get one in the end I’m glad there’s a workaround;)

The Zwift community is just awesome. A little hack here, little app there (that world customizer is also really cool). Good thing that you can do these kind of adjustments at least on the PC/Mac side of things and that Zwift doesn't lay the ban hammer on these hacks.

Super smart Shane. Keep up the good work.

Cool math hack. Hats off to your colleagues. Thanks for the tips.

Great video, Shane. I have a Climb and use it on Zwift. One thing I wanted to mention is the order in which I must turn on the devices. If I turn on the Climb before the Kickr but after Zwift it will not register the gradients on Zwift even though it is paired successfully. If I activate the Climb after the Kickr but before Zwift then everything works 👍. Thought this was worth mentioning as there were plenty of times when I'd start a Zwift session, all the indicators looked correct, Climb was paired and in Kickr control mode, but no gradient changes came in from the Kickr.

Just noticed the new ultegra r8000 crankset. Yay upgrades!😁

Bravo Chad.

Hoi Shane, really love your video's. Used to be a trainerroad user, but for health issues i can't go all out anymore (no more max haert rates). I'm turning to zwift this winter in europe and going for the kickr V6. Just doubting for the kickr climb. Looks a nice addition. Is the lag in zwift still present? TIA

Shane, do you have a video that shows how to hook up the Wahoo Kickr to Strava?, so that your indoor Wahoo workout shows in your Strava feed?

I assume you’re just estimating percentages visually with the trainer difficulty selection?

Hi Shane, great video as always. Maybe I missed it, but have you (or whoever is reading this) tried the Kickr Climb with a Tacx Neo? Do they work well together?

Will this same hack work with the kickr Snap? I assume it will be okay? Brilliant video Shane👍👍

This is genius.

Shane I deleted our conversion I think highly of you. Have a nice day

Hi. Just bought the climb in combination with the Kickr move. The hack is not working anymore. When you change the wheelbase in my case from 975mm to 3900mm (25% trainer difficulty wanted) and you check than the sensor information in the wahoo app one page further the gradients are not anymore -8% and +22%. Also did a few test rides but don't get it moving 100% if not riding at 100% trainer difficulty.. Any new hack?! ;-)

I have a neo and have no issues with it BUT do I need the new climb and 2018 kickr? Noise/cost isnt a issue, just wondered if im missing out on better hill climbing workouts? by using the right muscles for the job?

Hi, im looking for a nice Smart Trainer for the upcoming winter season. Would you go with the Tacx Flux (550€) or the Wahoo Kickr Snap ( 600€)? Keep up the good work! :)

👍💕

Does anyone know how to zero the gradient out so it’s level? Is there a command or do you have to do it manually while having the fitness app out?

And what about Wahoo RGT? Should I set it like for Zwift or not? My favorite setting for trainer difficulty is 80% all time, and ride only Wahoo RGT. Real wheelbase is 990mm.

I’m considering upgrading my original Kickr and getting the Climb but will Trainerroad and Zwift add a gradient feature to power based workouts? How would that work? Thanks!

Great video, but I couldn't help to be distracted by your extremely shiny shoes

Your Zwift display makes my Macbook look like a Gameboy

It would appear that the Wahoo app has updated, can’t see ‘wheelbase’ field anymore but there is a ‘wheel circumference’. Is that where you enter the custom wheelbase now?

bRILLIANT VIDEO, explained well, just need to order the climb now

Bit of a strange question. When riding on Zwift how do the downhill sections work while in sim mode. How is your speed calculated? Is it best to just free wheel and coast down or put in some extra watts to gain extra speed?

I am feeling the bike adjust upward for climbs and level off to a 0% grade on Zwift, but I don't feel the Climb drop when going into a downhill descent. Any suggestions?

Am I wrong. Today You can't change the setting like You showed in this video. Only from Off-Max is valid to choose. No counting needed. I can't find more options on my setings. And it does it quite well. Am I wrong?

Shane can I check something with you. Should this fake wheelbase setting affect the power readings when in Workout mode? Tonight I did my first workout whilst connected to the Climb; TD was 25% and wheelbase fudged to 4120mm. I blew up when trying to do a Sweetspot session - it felt crazy hard and I couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on. So I’m wondering is this fake wheelbase setting could be affecting the Kickr Snap power readings (ie are they being under reported because of that setting, meaning I’m actually having to go a whole lot harder to hit the power numbers ERG mode is asking for??). Any chance you could test this theory? Absolutely love your stuff, btw!!

Hi Shane Sorry if i've missed something but could you please tell me is the Zwift software controlling the Kickr Climb or the Kickr trainer ? Thanks.........Steve

That was a clever hack, thanks Shane. I've been waiting for these to be released, just to keep indoor riding interesting. However I must admit I don't think the asking price is at all reasonable for what's inside these things and I may be sitting on my hands for a while. 800 Pacific Pesos for this? yeeaaa .... nah! Mind you, they ask 400 bucks for an upturned floor dryer, to I shouldn't be surprised :P

New Ultegra? Are you going to upload something about the upgrade? Nice video as always Shane!

Hi Shane, my question doesnt directly relate to this video, I hope you dont mind. Is it possible in any way to use Zwift without a "smart trainer" using a garmin cadence, heart rate monitor and speedo ? Im thinking not but a mate mentioned to me he thought it was now possible but obviously I wont have my power meter and have no way of Zwift increasing the intensity to suit the course. Thanks in advance for any assistance .

What to do when you have the difficulty on 100% yet the Climb still doesn't go down to the max -10% even when on long descents like Leith Hill?

This is a dumb question, and should probably be directed to the unboxing video.....will the Kickr Climb pair to any other smart trainer, or is it limited to Wahoo?

Do people “cheat” in races by setting the difficulty to 0?

Hi Shane, I bought the climb but I'm only using Zwift to do workouts and I was disapointed to discover that the climb doesn't work while doing workouts :( Any word on zwift modificating this ?

Could you please confirm that the KICKR CLIMB doesn't work with Workouts? Meaning that it doesn't automatically go up or down resembling the gradient in the course while in Workouts. This is rather disappointing.

chad is a gigachad

I always have the trainer difficulty set to 100% to replicate the gradient as real as possible (I have a Tacx Flux) So I don’t understand what advantage it could bring me to set it to 80% or less... Can you explain me why you set it to 80%?

really regretting my 2016 Wahoo Kickr purchase :O(

offtopic: im looking for a cycling computer that automaticly uploads to strava (well clicking a buton on my phone i dont mind i just dont want to connect to laptop etc.) and I want it as cheap as possible (sub 300) tx!

Mine NEVER WORKS!!!!!!

Some bright cyclists out there

Just ride. Why screw around with easier? Like Eddy Merckx said - go ride your bike and don’t whine.

1st

Where's the part where you show us how to pair/setup?
