Wahoo KICKR CORE creaking

My KICKR CORE started creaking every now and then.

I lubricated the chain and greased the thru axle but it didn’t work.

Could it be the belt?

I recorded a short video and uploaded it on my Youtube channel. Link is below.

I’ve already opened a support ticket on Wahoo website

Do you think they are going to replace it?

maybe, they are pretty good about replacing their stuff. How far out of warranty are you? You never know until you try.

I bought Zwift Ride in July 2025

then you are well within the warranty period, contact Wahoo support.

I wrote to Wahoo and I’m wating for thei decision

By the way, I’ve trained for 73 minutes yesterday and for about 67-68 minutes everything worked fine the the noise came back.

I think is something involved with the belt or bearings

They will replace my CORE with a new one. A CORE v2 I hope

I’ve heard most replacements under warranty are provided with a refurbished unit.
But I wish you luck.
