Yeah, that’s what I figured. I did end up getting a Kickr Snap and, even without the use of a dedicated power meter, it does a fair job. Definitely a worthy upgrade over a basic fluid trainer.
However, for those looking to get a Kickr Snap, I will say that you have to calibrate it each time. Based on my research, on-wheel trainers can be a bit temperamental. As such, Wahoo recommends calibrating it each time you set it up. It’s a pain and does take about 10 minutes but doing so will give you much greater accuracy in the long run. The trick is making sure that you have ample pressure in your back tire and that you calibrate it so that the spin down time is consistent every time. Takes some getting used to but it does lead to a more pleasurable experience.
