Hi Just bought a zwift ride - without the wahoo kicker as already have it. The Kickr already has a Zwift cog yet when I unpacked the frame there was a zwift cog included. Do I need to swap cogs?

[image] Trace: Do I need to swap cogs? You may want to put on the new one, I think they made some changes to the design so it could a version 2?

[image] Trace: Do I need to swap cogs? No, you don’t need to swap the cogs. However, as said, there is a newer version. If they both look the same, then no need to change. If the new one is orange and black then your choice on when or whether to swap, the old one will work for the moment but …

New cog installed - really quiet now - love my new toy. Thanks for advice

Is there a guide as to how to replace the cog v1 (black) with the cog v2 (orange)? My Kickr Core came in assembled with the cog v1 but no idea how to uninstall and install the cog v2

Thank you kindly! What if I wanted to uninstall the cog v1 (which you already perfectly answered for) and install a Shimano non-HG 11-speed cassette (a Shimano Ultegra CS-R8000 11/28 11 speed). Is that possible with the current installed freehub which came with the Zwift Ride with Kickr Core packag…

Yes that will work fine. The cog is installed on an 11 speed Hyperglide freehub. No spacers are required for 11 or 12 speed cassettes on that. Derailleur adjustment may still be necessary though.

Interesting. So a non-HG cassette (CS-R8000 11/28t 11 speed) should fit onto HG freehub without any spacers?
