Wahoo KICKR 2017 Switching Cassettes from 11 speed to 10 speed

We are showing you how to swap the Wahoo KICKR cassette from 11 speed to 10 speed.

For those that have a 10-speed bike, you will need to swap out the 11-speed cassette that comes with the trainer.

In the video I didn't mention the Wahoo RPM cadence sensor that is also included with the trainer.

Unlike the Tacx Neo that comes with a cadence sensor within the trainer, the Wahoo KICKR uses a RPM sensor that requires mounting on the crank arm. Wahoo calls this unit the WAHOO RPM CADENCE SENSOR which included with the KICKR. The sensor is Bluetooth and ANT+ compatible and weighs just 7 grams. Additional RPM sensors can be purchased separately for $39.99.

The Cadence sensor is a magnetless sensor and uses an accelerometer to calculate RPMs cadence. It should be installed on the non-drivetrain side with either the industrial strength double sided tape that is included or with zip ties.
