I'm in tech. It's what i do. It also frustrates the hell out me when it doesn't work.

I recently got the bug to purchase a Wahoo Kickr to get the opportunity to workout indoors with power/hr/etc. all streaming from bluetooth devices to a promising plethora of applications that could make my training more effective, interactive, measurable, etc.

I was upgrading from my whimpy, headless Cycleops Fluid trainer.

You know what I've been doing the past 2 weeks since getting this amazing upgrade? Trying to find something that works consistently properly with it. I'm using an Android phone so that comes with a number of configuration/compatibility challenges. Zwift won't work with my older (c. 2012) laptop with "out of date video drivers", Wahoo Fitness app has had numerous failures... each time having to reinstall, resync, wash rinse repeat.

I've spent less time on the trainer and more time with "customer support" trying to figure out what in gods name is the problem with all of this and purchasing dongles, fiddling with ports, chasing down bluetooth connection issues.
I'm thinking my whimpy, headless Cycleops trainer might have the advantage here.

thanks for listening.
