Kickr is a great trainer. Well built and awesome feel, lots of flywheel. The non-drive side end cap gets flipped to adjust axle spacing. I’m guessing a custom sized one would be an inexpensive machining job since no great precision would be required. There are a number of inexpensive kits out there to convert a cassette to single speed with chain line adjustment. That would allow 1/8” chain. You could dial in the resistance in erg for steady state stuff so gear selection would not be a big deal. Power tracks pretty close to my SRM. It would not be fixed, the only down side. Would let you train on your track or Pursuit bike.
I’ll have to measure up the end cap & see if there is enough room to machine the 130 side back 10mm, replacement adapter is $20. Might be fun.
Edit: Measured and there is only 5mm available to machine the 130mm spacer flush with the frame. Not quite enough.
