I m not bothered by this, but see my comment in the 'in-between' section.

CL,
I've been riding mine now since December. Love this thing. It's always ready to go, even if I'm not.
I think the slipping may be a hold over from the other Kickr's that require actual Gear changes with a derailleur.
If you find yourself in a gear you just can't push, then stop trying and stop peddling. The Kickr will back off the resistance for 3 seconds when you start again, giving you time to physically change gear with the chain moving.
Obviously chain movement for gear changes is not an issue for the Kickr Bike.
All the best
Barry
