Swapping saddles on a Kickr Bike

The Nine Hammers Tavern - General Chat

My wife is getting into biking and to save having two bikes constantly set up she has allowed me to buy a Kickr Bike for us to share.

The adjustability will be great, the only problem will be the saddle. She is used to a big soft mountain bike one but I like my standard road saddle.

Is there anyone out there sharing a bike who swaps saddles in a workable way? I don’t want to have to mess with taking them on and off the rails a lot so was wondering about a spare seat post if that comes out easily enough.

Suggestions?

I was thinking about the same problem but then my wife got pregnant and I dropped the ball on a viable solution.

The easiest would be to swap out the whole seatpost in between users. Comes off without a problem. Maybe you could write Wahoo and ask for a spare one?

All the reviews I’ve read say that the Kickr bike seatpost is a standard size so you should be able to get a spare from your local bike shop.

If it is just a case of swapping the seat post that makes things a lot easier.

I guess I’m used to companies who make everything bespoke so you can’t use off the shelf kit with them.

Perfect, thanks.

We just swap the seatpost with the saddle between us - standard size seat post on the Kickr so completely straightforward.

On the Neobike I swap out the complete seatpost-system (not round like the on the Wahoo but actually a rail that moves forward and back), Tacx hooked me up with a spare, free of charge.

Just write down the settings numbers on a piece of paper. I always make sure the bike is in the wife’s configuration. She doesn’t like faffing around with the adjustments and she uses it more then me.

Takes less then a minute to change everything
