5 Easy Steps To The Site
1
In Depth Product Reviews
You probably stumbled upon here looking for a review of a sports gadget. If you’re trying to decide which unit to buy – check out my in-depth reviews section. Some reviews are over 60 pages long when printed out, with hundreds of photos! I aim to leave no stone unturned.

Read My GPS Recommendations.
Here’s my most recent gadget recommendations guide (2012) – covering almost every category of sports gadgets out there. Looking for the equipment I use day to day? I also just put together my complete 2012 ‘Gear I Use’ equipment list, from swim to bike to run and everything in between (plus a few extra things). And to compliment that, here’s The Girl’s (my wife’s) list. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!

Understand technology and sport in the How-To Guides.
I enjoy explaining new things to folks – especially showing people how to get the most from their gadgets. Here’s an ongoing list of “How to” guides.

Read my Top 25 most useful posts.
It turns our I’ve written a fair bit of stuff over the past few years – and after it disappears from my front page, a lot of it never really sees the light of day again without Google’ing skillz. Or a photographic memory…which I don’t have. I’ve taken a look back and found stuff that…continues to find a trickle of readers via web searches or forum links.

Have some fun in the travel section.
I travel a fair bit, both for work and for fun. Here’s a bunch of random trip reports and daily trip-logs that I’ve put together and posted. I’ve sorted it all by world geography, in an attempt to make it easy to figure out where I’ve been.
Wahoo Fitness KICKR Unboxing Photos
Here’s some unboxing photos from the KICKR. The box held up pretty well, since it was air shipped from Taiwan to LA to Vegas, moved around the massive convention floor multiple times, then taken with me via commercial airline from Vegas to Chicago to Paris, and finally then dragged through the subways from the airport to my house.
I’ve included shots of the KICKR paired via Bluetooth Smart to the new Wahoo Fitness app (Beta), the Wahoo Fitness Strava Segments App, TrainerRoad, and Kinomap. I’ve also shown it paired via ANT+ to the Edge 810. In a later photo while riding, you’ll see the Edge 810 again. In this case, that Edge is then paired to a crank-based Power2Max power meter. It should naturally read slightly higher (it did) due to being closer to the point of power output (my legs). The phone in those photos is showing KICKR power via Bluetooth Smart, and heart rate via Bluetooth Smart. Cadence requires a separate cadence sensor.
Resistance stayed pretty much spot-on, and adjusted near-instantly. Usually I saw the power output within 1-2w of the set resistance.
More as they near closer to release.

I’ve also shown it paired via ANT+ to the Edge 810. In a later photo while riding, you’ll see the Edge 810 again. In this case, that Edge is then paired to a crank-based Power2Max power meter. It should naturally read slightly higher (it did) due to being closer to the point of power output (my legs). The phone in those photos is showing KICKR power via Bluetooth Smart, and heart rate via Bluetooth Smart. Cadence requires a separate cadence sensor.
Resistance stayed pretty much spot-on, and adjusted near-instantly. Usually I saw the power output within 1-2w of the set resistance.
More as they near closer to release.
Wahoo Fitness KICKR Unboxing Photos
Here’s some unboxing photos from the KICKR. The box held up pretty well, since it was air shipped from Taiwan to LA to Vegas, moved around the massive convention floor multiple times, then taken with me via commercial airline from Vegas to Chicago to Paris, and finally then dragged through the subways from the airport to my house.
I’ve included shots of the KICKR paired via Bluetooth Smart to the new Wahoo Fitness app (Beta), the Wahoo Fitness Strava Segments App, TrainerRoad, and Kinomap.

Aargh, the frayed end of your rear derailleur cable! Get a crimp-on end cap on that before my OCD has me poring over my own bike to look for “faults”.
Funny, I just noticed that as well tonight when looking at photos…
Looking forward to reading more! Can’t wait for availability of this in Europe – come on Wahoo!
Do you know if Wahoo will be shipping units that are Campy 11s?
I believe that was the eventual plan, but I don’t think you’ll see it in the immediate future (i.e. next couple months).
Can you tell if the cassette (and freehub?, not sure how this thing is put together) can be removed or is user replaceable?
Does the Kickr ave the same road feel as the Lemond Revolution?
Any idea if Wahoo will make an app for Macs? I know some who’d rather use their computer while riding their trainer instead of their iphones/iPads and some don’t have a Bluetooth smart device.
Not sure. But, there’s TrainerRoad (which works today with KICKR) on Mac, as well as Golden Cheetah – which will work well before availability of KICKR, also on Mac.
Is the US version working on european 220 volts?
No issues. Just needed a simple plug converter (not transformer). The power block is rated 100-240v.
why does it need to be plugged in? does it work it not plugged in?/which functions are not available in that case?
Plugging it in provides electrical resistance. Without it, there’s some resistance, but not enough for most people. Perhaps about 125-150w worth or so.
Without plugging it in, you can’t control the resistance.
Note that it does support an AC card adapter and they’ll be selling one as well (or, you can just go to Radioshack/similiar). It doesn’t draw much power.
