Wahoo Support (or lack of)

I’ve a support request logged with Wahoo for a snapped crank on my Wahoo Kickr Bike.

It’s been assigned to someone, but responses are painfully slow.

Bike is absolutely useless at the moment, but I can’t make any headway in my support until I get a reply.

Seems such a poor support model that it’s a assigned to one person and one person only. For all I know, the support might be on leave now. (Which seems to have happened before looking on forums).

Any of the wahoo Support team on here?

Wahoo support has always responded to me relatively promptly. Last year I had a problem with my KICKR Bike - every exchange took a couple of days, but after a reasonable number (from their perspective, frustrating from mine) of emails ruling out obvious stuff, they came through with a replacement part even though the bike was out of warranty. The instructions they sent were extremely clear. Overall, the best tech support I have seen in years.

What would have been better, from my perspective, would be a little transparency about parts - like the specs for common replacement parts. People have private information - for some reason my cycling style is hard on bottom brackets and rims/spokes (thankfully the KICKR bike doesn’t have wheels), and I would have just bought a more durable (and expensive) replacement rather than the original bottom bracket. Even though it is an almost trivial task, I would spend the extra bucks to avoid having to do this again in two years, because things always fail at the least convenient time.
