    hi,

    I bought this on here 2 months ago while waiting on my new one to be shipped, and has been perfect.

    I Bought from user Swanson, and below is what he had in his ad about it, I haven't a secondary power meter to see if there was a difference like Swanson said but I did a ramp test on my new kickr and the old within a few days, and got the same FTP on both machines.

    As its the pre 2018 modek, it is the noisy model and is fine for daytime and garage use but doesn't suit me doing spins while my kids are asleep in the next room. I am in kimmage/crumlin if you want to try it out.

    Hi

    time I got rid of my spare Kickr. It is a mark 1 model but has had the two main parts that wear out---the belt and the inner gear---replaced not long ago so it runs perfectly.

    There are two things you should be aware of.

    1) These early Kickrs are not quiet.

    2) Once it heats up, this one registers 15-20 Watts too low, so you will need to adjust your weight accordingly on Zwift etc.
