![]() (The e-mail included half a dozen links to both Wahoo and Canyon pages showing numerous inconsistencies in the wording and naming, including a reference on a single page that pointed to a mostly internal reference model number for the Canyon Ultimate CF SL)Ī boatload of e-mails back and forth and I finally had my answer. I’m pretty sure by now anytime a company receives a long e-mail from me, they know it’s unlikely to be good news. So, I went back to Wahoo with an exceptionally lengthy e-mail asking for clarification. I mean, sure, my drivetrain is always a dumpster fire that needs cleaning – but the frame itself hadn’t combusted yet. At no point has my bike touched or been touched in an inappropriate way, and my bike still hasn’t started smoldering or shattered. I’d had the KICKR 17 in the summer of 2017, then the KICKR18 and KICKR CORE from the summer of 2018, and then the KICKR2020 from mid-summer of 2020. ![]() Now mind you, I’d been riding an assortment of Wahoo KICKR trainers for the better part of 3.5 years at this point.

So this is the long story of vindication for my bike. Even in my most laborious sprint, nothing flexed enough to do anything. It was absolutely nowhere near touching anything. ![]() However, that didn’t seem to be the case for me and my Canyon Ultimate CF SL. Or something like that.įor realz though, they said it’d rub your frame and break it– and indeed, some Canyon Ultimate users had started noticing this back this past summer. They said it would rub the frame, and then the frame would catch fire and give your riding buddies Syphilis. This also applied to a number of Giant and Trek trainers. Last month when Wahoo and Canyon casually dropped a support update out saying that the Canyon Ultimate CF frames (specifically the rim brake variants) weren’t compatible with Wahoo KICKR17, KICKR18, KICKR CORE, or KICKR V5/2020. If there’s anything the internet is good at, it’s sleuthing through imagery to find inconsistent details.
