I've done multiple calibrations and tried different iOS apps. Current favorite app is Cycleops virtualtraining.
Thanks for any thoughts on this.
Interesting, as the complaints I see are the opposite, that the Kickr reads high compared to reality. Definitely keep the firmware up to date and run the calibration, but don't do this every time. Set it once and ride it for a while.
