this is probably the most useful unboxing and step by step installation that I have seen so far! especially when its your first time getting one! really useful! thanks for sharing!
I know exactly what you mean about inside to outside “training”.I smash it indoors because I don’t have to worry about ANYTHING.then when I go out I’m chilled but ready to go.great vid.thank you👏👏👏👍👊
This was so, so clear and helpful. Really appreciate you taking the time to do this. It also helped that I have an 11-speed cassette so it gave me confidence I was configuring everything correctly! You've done a great service. I will be subscribing! Stay well, stay safe!
I have owned one now for over a year and love it. I'm sure you will cover with your follow on vids, but checking for firmware updates regularly makes a difference. With the addition of the cadence feature to the trainer it has become an excellent mid range direct drive option. Good vid.
I love mine too. Checking the firmware is critical as the built-in cadence sensor is a very well plus. I have to move mine frequently and miss the handle on the upper end unit. The coare is awkward
Just bought a Kickr Core and searched for set up. Good video, thanks for the advice. But... gotta say that Bianchi with the celeste highlighted tires are *chefs kiss* perfect.
Hi Rob! Thank you for your comment! So glad you enjoyed the video & found it helpful! Aren't they just the perfect finishing touch! I wish I could get some winter ones in celeste now!
I just used this video to set up my kickr core that I purchased 3 hours ago! thank you so much. I am a newbie to turbos, since its my first one... you made it very easy! thank you
Hi Andres! Thank you so much for your comment.. in all honestly I tried the adapter one way and it didn't fit haha! I had also watched a few videos prior to set up also x
Hi, best regards from Thailand! Cycling is super popular here, not just laying on the beach ;) One quick question: what are all items i need to buy extra to set it up? I’m shimano 105
Your video has made my mind up to go for the Wahoo core over the Elite Suito but my Trek Madone is only a 9spd so was wondering if that's going to be an issue?
Great video. I didn't see the part where you either connect your laptop to the large monitor, or if its all blue-toothed or any cabling. Do you need a hard drive with a graphics card, esp when introducing Zwift. Any info or new youtube clip would be welcome. Thanks
Hi David! Thank you so much for your comment. I have tried out a few different ways of mirroring. My fave is to play Zwift on my Samsung phone and then use the screen mirroring app on the phone to mirror to my Samsung TV. Alternatively I can also do this from my iPad and mirror to TV. Alternatively I like to use my normal laptop (standard HP no special graphics) & use an HDMI cable to mirror to the TV! Hope that helps!
Hey! Thank you so much for your comment! I did use a chain whip tool alongside the cassette tool just to tighten it that little bit extra! Both are from Park tools I believe! Xx
How is this trainer working for you? Very keen to know, Wahoo Kickr's in my country are expensive & think this may be the best option for me (& I have one on order, so I hope it's good).
Hi lovely! Thank you for your message! It has taken a few goes to work out the best settings & navigate zwift (basically turning everything on & off a few times) but I absolutely love it! Its so smooth in the power and I am so glad we got it for sure! It really makes me train hard! Ill do an update video for sure over the next few weeks! X
@@motomoto898 I highly recommend one for sure. Ive actually been using the Wahoo App a lot as I can just set my watts & ride so quickly & easily. Very effective way of training!
A Little Bit Anouska. Thanks for your reply. I suppose I was wondering if the core was enough and functioning efficiently compared to the Kickr V5 where I think you don’t need to spin down etc ... thanks again! Nice videos nice editing love the font :) and 🎶 music

Hi Paul! Thank you so much for your comment, that means a lot to me knowing I created something helpful!
Without question, the most enjoyable setup/installation video I've found yet.
Hi Ben! Thank you so much for your comment! This has made my day!
I'll admit I might have watched some of the video an unnecessary, additional time ...
@@hamansgallows nothing wrong with that haha!

@@salsalawyer I agree! I wish there was a handle!
Great stuff. Got the feet on. Now a trip to the bike shop because I don’t have a chain whip or cassette tool. 😭
Maybe the best set up video

thank you, it really helped me put mine together.
Nice bike! Looks like a fancy tron bike on a trainer. :)
Thanks for your message Bobby! She is literally my dream bike! x

Ah I am so pleased this helped! Happy riding!
Thank you! getting mine this week and this was very helpful :)
Cheers, just bought one.
Hi Christian, thanks for watching! Hope you are loving your trainer! x
Just wanted to say thank you very much for making this video it was very helpful for me. Much appreciated
Hi! thank you so much for your lovely kind comment! I am glad you enjoyed the video! x
my goodness your are so cute! and thanks for the vid!
Thats so kind! Thank you x
Excellent many thanks
Thanks for watching! x
Good video. Actually, you still need the spacer if you have a 11 speed 11/34 cassette. But other 11 speed cassettes you don’t
Hi Eric! Thank you for your message! This is super handy to know!
Me gusta mucho xk no es tan aburrido como una bici estatica
You made it look easy, I hope it is as easy as this when I set mine up because I am hopless with DIY. I really like your video.
Thank you so much for your comment! I watched a lot of videos before set up to make sure I got it perfect :)
Thanks for video. How do you know you need the 130mm instead of the 135 mm Adapter?
Hi Andres! Thank you so much for your comment.. in all honestly I tried the adapter one way and it didn't fit haha! I had also watched a few videos prior to set up also x
Thank you for the video! Silly question...the 11 tooth, how does it line up correctly? Like the spokes of it go into the gaps of the bigger cassette?
Great video, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!
wow! nice indoor trainer. Im waiting for my order same as yours 👍
Hi! Ah fantastic news! You will be so pleased with it im sure!
Does the kickr come with the cassette tool?
Hi, best regards from Thailand! Cycling is super popular here, not just laying on the beach ;) One quick question: what are all items i need to buy extra to set it up? I’m shimano 105
Hi! Ah I would love to visit! You will just need a cassette to fix to your Wahoo! I use the same as is on my bike! x
@@ALittleBitAnouska what cassette were you using in Alps? was it the same you use everyday? something like 11-34?
for anyone having Shimano 105 HG800-11 11-34T cassette you need to put the spacer
Ah thats handy to know! Thank you :)
Hi, do you remember the dimensions of the box, i ordered one and want to know if it will fit in a suitcase
PS: Love the content
Hey! Thank you so much for your comment, glad you love the content! I don't I am afraid but I remember it was big and heavy haha! x
just a tip. you do not need the chain whip when tightening only when removing.
Hi Chris! Thank you for the tip! I hope I won't have to put one together again for some time now!
Your video has made my mind up to go for the Wahoo core over the Elite Suito but my Trek Madone is only a 9spd so was wondering if that's going to be an issue?
Hi! I am so glad you enjoyed the video & went for the Wahoo! Great question! I would jump on their website & see what spacers you may need? x
So much easier on the eye than @dcrainmaker and @gplama -
Still don’t have a clue if I need the 130 or 135 mm adaptor 🤣
Haha thank you so much for your comment! If in doubt, give them both a whirl!
You just need to measure the distance between the dropouts with measuring tape. Most road bikes are 130mm.

@@MrTeshy1234 , Thankyou , well sorted now but someone will need this for sure
She is so beautiful…

I thought you're supposed to grease the freehub body before sliding a casette on
Hi Leslie, possibly haha! I hadn't seen this documented anywhere though and I was SO excited to ride I just went balls deep haha! x
@@ALittleBitAnouska No worries, I'm not a professional but that's just something my local bike shop did on my wahoo
Hi Anouska. Great video. Please check out and review the Wahoo Climb!
Hi Mikkel! Thank you for your comment! I would love to do this, unfortunately it means I would need to buy one unless Wahoo wish to lend me one haha!
This was a great video, thank you! One question: did you use a special tool to tighten the cassette on the device? If so, what was it?
