Will you again sell the colored stripes for Kickrs – specifically the V4 and V5?
No sorry Ron. Check on eBay for these. I’m sure some has taken the idea and run with it.
Hi, in the videos you mention that you where still performing test to see if the previous version issues where fix. Do you have a eta ? I’m looking at the kickr or the neo 2t and find it not easy to choose one or the other. Price, maintenance, accuracy (both looks like they have issues. ) and silent.
I’m still waiting for a firmware update from Wahoo.
