The company sells refurbished – defined as a decal scratch, etc. The help of Google and some research I settled on the Wahoo Kickr Snap and found a good deal on a refurbished one. There are plenty of pro’s and con’s of using a bike trainer, but personally I actually enjoy riding on the trainer during the winter months to measure workouts which is sometimes a bit difficult in the winter with the ice and snow (with the road bike). Bottom line, the high cost and graphics were not a factor in the next purchase.

However, over the years I noticed that the racing against the competitor was not something I focused on and just used the manual mode all the time and simulated the workout per my specific goal. They were all the rage with the triathlon crowd when they first arrived on the scene. The comp trainer was one of the first trainers that fully integrated technology with respect to watching on a screen – racing against a competitor with specific customized or pre-programmed courses. Unlike the normal method of the past with doing some research on the Computrainer new models and eBay, I decided time for a change.

A great trainer and my estimate, 6000-7000 hours on the trainer. I had it 12 years and no complaints at all. It just was one of thosedays turn on the Computrainer for the warm-up and I find out that magnetic wheel was fried. In addition to rollers, I have used a Computrainer for the last 20 years or so (2 of them). Recently, I was preparing for a big time trial test on the indoor trainer and definitely did not start off as expected. Don’t’ sweat the small stuff, the famous quote and list of books made popular by Richard Carlson, PhD many years ago.
