maintain your kickr

I finally was forced to do some maintenance on my kickr because the freewheel wouldn't. Turns out there was a long sliver of metal behind the cassette body. Also, one of the bearings looks pretty worn.
It's very simple on a 1st gen Kickr, just take off the nut that holds everything together.
You need grease, maybe some wd-40 to clean up the old grease, a rag and an adjustable wrench.

Thanks for putting up the video. How many hours do you have on the Kickr?

hard to say, but it's a lot. At least in trainer hours, which seem longer than clock time hours. I wish I had done this before, the "spacers" he talks about are $20 each. I'm pretty sure they are bearings
