Rob I’ve used the Kickr Snap on Zwift for a few years without any real problems. I rode a couple days ago for the first time in about a year (mild winter last year and never had to ride indoors!) and did a quick spin down and was up and running no problem. The app looks to have changed some and the spin down isn’t as complex but I’d go through that again. I use a Tacx trainer tire at 120 psi and tighten down 1.5 turns of the knob past first contact roller with tire. I think the owners manual recommends 2 turns but that always seemed too tight to me. Anyway the resistance seems pretty reliable and realistic to me. Zwift and smart trainer really changed indoor riding for me. I still don’t ride indoors much but I enjoy it more and ride harder when I do. With a dumb trainer I would have to be really desperate to ride indoors. I have a set of rollers that I tried twice before deciding I’m too old to learn a new trick like that.
