Crabon wheels bend? They don't just break?
I have broken two helmets. I rode on from one of them. They DO work.

Also, as a pilot you need to distinguish whether your crash was of the cycling variety or the flying variety. Makes a big difference.

The front wheel is no longer true.
So I assume it’s bent.
Yes on the new bike.
Yes I am extremely pissed off.
Currently it looks like, New tire, new tube, straighten wheel and new tape. Hopefully nothing else I can’t see.

bampilot06 First thing, I'd suggest replacing the cassette on your Kickr. Both of my Kickrs came with cheap cassettes that I could never get the noise out of with any of my bikes. Putting a different cassette on cured that immediately.
I asked my LBS whether they had trouble with the cassettes on new Kickrs and he confirmed that they replace them, too.

I put my wife’s cassette on it. It’s a 9 spd and I put the washer like it said too. The more I pedaled know it last night the better it felt. Maybe it needed to by broken in, but as far as the set up I never got it to do the calibration spin. I have not tried any other settings or activities on it yet.

Remember that you've got multiple screens.
And three fields dedicated to lights?
When your batteries are low, you should get a notification - I don't see much need to keep track of them beyond that.
Off the top of my head, I have:
Speed
Distance
3sec power
Cadence
HR
kJ (helps with longer-term pacing)
Time of day (I got places to be)
Ride time (again, pacing)
Direction (navigation and wind considerations)
To me, average power isn't that important unless I'm doing an interval, so it's in my lap screen, not my main screen.

sorry to hear about this in Jan 2020 I wrecked my new CAAD 12 and eventually needed a new frame. Hoping your problem will be minor.

I Just had my consult for the discogram. Only made me confused and have no idea what to do next. Follow up 3 weeks from now after thinking about. Then back to neurosurgeon with questions. The only thing I learned is it is not black and white. I thought this was getting me down the road and now I'm stuck in a rest area parking lot.

Got a call from an infusion place that my witch doctor's office, where I had been getting the treatments all along, had referred me there, and I need to schedule.
Seems like the kind of thing the witch doctor's office might have told me about. SMH.
