Wahoo KICKR Campagnolo Freehub

Love my Kickr, which I've coupled with Zwift. Both seem super-reliable. The generic workouts on Zwift, (or bespoke ones I've easily written myself on Zwift), dials in the resistance of the Kickr, so I'm not having to concentrate at all on my Garmin power meter as I used to, to hit the efforts I've planned. It feels like proper riding, while I listen to music and watch my virtual ride on the TV in front of me. So the only pain is physical, which is what we all want, isn't it??The only thing I'm not sure about, is that the power registering on my Garmin is consistently 20W greater than what the Kickr is telling me. Which is correct? I've tried re-calibrating both, but no change. If you have Campag gearing with 10 gears, you'll need to purchase a new cassette and hub, ... MoreLove my Kickr, which I've coupled with Zwift. Both seem super-reliable.

However, I understand that no change is required if you have Campag 11 gears.

Campagnolo freehub well machined

Got this cassette direct from Wahoo. Worked out better value than the online sites due to free postage. The cassette itself is well made and comes with a spacer in case you want a 10 speed campagnolo cassette rather than an 11 speed. It was really easy to fit I just needed a chain whip and cassette extractor (shimano ) to take off the body and cassette that came with the Wahoo Kickr. It is a shame a Campagnolo option isn’t offered as an alternative to the shimano/ sram version. I now have a Shimano cassette and freehub body collecting dust.

Fairly easy install with some

Fairly easy install with some bike specific tools. Don't over ugga dugga the lock nut and deform it like I did. Wahoo was kind enough to send a replacement.I found a good condition Chorus 10 speed cassette on eBay that had the proper 4 splines.

Good but expensive addition

It’s well engineered and works very well. I’m using an older 10speed cassette. Took me a while to realise you need chorus cassette for compatibility. Wasn’t obvious from the wahoo website. Would be good to make that clearer.

Good product, easy to install

Good product, easy to install etc. make sure you secure it with 5nm of torque aka finger tight. Doesn’t match my older version of Athena campag cassette(cogs) which is a 9 speed. Got it working acceptably with a new version campag cassette , which will do for now. Would only require minor changes by a manufacturer to make it work with pre 2010 campag cassettes. Not sure why this can’t be done?

Not compatible with most Campagnolo cassettes

This freehub only works with Campagnolo cassettes that have 4 arm inserts. Most Campagnolo cassettes use a mixture of 4 arms on smaller cogs and 8 arms on larger cogs. I checked my cassette before buying, saw 4 arms and therefore assumed that it would fit. However, when separating the cogs to fit I realised that my Veloce cassette was incompatible for largest 3 cogs. I contacted Wahoo and they told me that only certain cassettes (Centaur) would work. No idea why this is not made clear on the listing. I had to manually file down my cassette in order to get it to fit. Not happy!

So not a great experience,

So not a great experience, but mainly based on Wahoo not the product, i found that i needed a specific cassette and had no help via Wahoo, ended up at a specialist and found the correct cassette which for this free hub 20/18 for my 10 speed set up is a Campagnolo Centaur 10 speed, either the 12,27 or 12,30 teeth fit, i'm running a campagnolo 10 speed 13,29 teeth cassette on my road bike and was advised to go 12,27 rather than the bigger 12,30 which would stretch the chain. The cassette has to be the 4 lug on the biggest cog to fit the 20/18 free hub! ..... Hope this helps someone else as i struggled to find anything on the internet, and Wahoo were next to useless

The Wahoo freehub is too

The Wahoo freehub is too restrictive as it only accepts some of the campagnolo cassettes, the expensive ones. Cassettes with 8 internal arms won't fit. I have used other providers freehubs, Elite, Tacx, Zipp and Campagnolo without problems. Wahoo tend to blame Campagnolo for changing their cassette design but in my experience all their cassettes will fit a properly designed freehub.

Works, but be careful!

A doddle to add to the Kickr Snap, but a real pain in finding a Campagnolo cassette that worked with it.Essentially, from what I've understood from extensive searching online forums, any Veloce cassette is incompatible, most of the Centaur range is incompatible (except the 12-27 or 12-30), and trying to save money by buying a brand such as a Miche cassette like I did is a minefield!Once set up though, this does work great. It's supposedly compatible with Shimano and SRAM as well (haven't tried), so I don't really understand why this doesn't ship with the Kickr range anyway.Aside from the compatibility issues, I also feel the price is a bit steep, especially as getting a 4-splined Campagnolo cassette that also works with this will also prove to be expensive.

does not fit Presta cycle 11sp

uniblock for Campagnolo. Had to switch a cluster off an old training wheel and install the unblock on itAlso the lock ring is Shimano not campy. So those of us inveterate campy type (the folks who would go about making this change for the most part) likely only have the campy locking tool. Had to run to a buddies to fuss with it
