Having said that, if I could run my old x-2s on my trainer bike, I would. So I don't need something that has a zero % failure rate, since I won't crash and fall off my bike. I'm now I'm on very last pair of x-2 cleats and the springs are about to break. I have a group ride with tons of traffic lights so I am always having to unclip and I think that wears them out faster.

I also own a kickr, which thankfully still works. But based on what I am reading about their support re: providing parts to repair kickrs, I think I will actively try to avoid any products from them. They absolutely DO NOT CARE about their customers.
I had excellent service from them when my kickr core bearing wore out. It was out of warranty but they still shipped me (at their expense) a refurb replacement. I was planning to just replace the bearing but was surprised at their swap-out so took the offer.
