Very difficult to pedal after 5 or so revolutions almost as if brakes would be on.

this also happened to my husband using a computrainer setup. now the trainer isn’t being recognized and he can’t use the program at all.

 

What trainer are you using? There was an issue with Tacx Trainers that would give you maximum resistance. there is a firmware update to fix the issue.

I found my problem. It’s with the electrical wiring on the wahoo kicker. It has a loose connection internally which was causing it to kick in and out. I packed it up and went to REI. They have a new one on the way. Thanks Nick and Miclelle for the feed back. Hoping to be back and riding soon.
