Still in the box at the moment - only just got home from taking my son to football training! Bit too tired now to start so I'll have to see if I have time to get it all set up tomorrow AND do a race...
Got your priorities right. After he gets the million dollar contract they’ll be plenty of time for the turbo. National champion today, supermodel / tabloid article and big contract tomorrow.

I think the new courses on Zwift will be a good test as it’s constantly changing gradient
 
Anyone with Kickr 18 see below


If you have a model with the serial number starting 011839 or later, that refers to the 39th week of production. If you have this then the manufacturing issue causing the knocking noise should be fixed.

Who is doing Stage 2 of NY later? I see @Breedon is signed up to the 18:00 race. I was planning to do the 4 or 5 race but if everyone else doing 6 too I'll jump on that one as well.

It will take 10 mins to setup, 5 mins to update Zwifr away
Well, Andy I see my evening going something like this:

- dismantle and put away the Bkool
- vacuum the area to remove recent build up of worn tyre rubber
- unbox, set up and position the Neo
- search for toolbox with the cassette removal tool and chainwhip
- once found, watch a video on youtube showing how to easily remove the cassette from wheel (done it before, but a while ago and don't want any cock-ups!)
- realise the youtube video made it look much easier than it actually is, and mine seems to be welded on. Swear a lot nearly give up, but eventually remove cassette (hopefully without too much damage or injury)
- fit cassette to Neo (not much that can go wrong here surely...)
- fit bike to Neo, probably realising in the process that the different footprint of the Neo means I have to re-arrange where my bike - and everything else - goes in the room
- re-arrange room
- Switch Neo on, switch Zwift on
- do some kind of calibration thing I haven't really looked into at all yet (although I have downloaded the app that Bob suggested)
- turn laptop off and on again because I can't get the neo to connect properly
- we have lift off

If I have any energy - or any evening left - after that I will probably then have a little pootle around on Zwift! But as you say, I'm sure all the above will only take me 15 minutes so that should be fine :scratch:

The question is: what do you do with the 5 minutes you have left over!
