Wahoo Kickr Snap is bouncy and not steady

General Discussion
#1

Hello,

I’ve got an issue with my Wahoo Kickr Snap. The part which you put your wheel against seems to be bouncing back and forth. It bounces heavily when I stop pedalling. (I’ve got a video put I can’t post links here…)

Anyone know what the issue might be? It seems like my watts on Zwift are not fully correct now, I feel like I have to do much more effort for my regular watts. Watts also go down very quickly If I give just one softer cadence. If I perform a spindown, the timing seems to be good (12 seconds)

How do you keep it more steady instead of bouncy?

Check a few things.

Locate the Adjustment knob from the roller to the bike tire: Once touching the tire, you should turn only two revolutions. You can count by marking the knob or using the words on the knob - crank it up.

Second, make sure blue clamp that connect to your skewer is tight. On the opposite side of the clamp is a an adjustment. You want the clamp tight.

Hard to imagine how it could bounce! My one experience with Wahoo customer support for my Kickr Snap was very good, so I wouldn’t hesitate to try them if Ryan’s suggestions don’t work.
