Running a Flat Bar (Trek FX3) on a Wahoo Kickr Core?

I have a Trek FX3 that I'm considering putting on my trainer.

Anyone run a flat bar on your trainer? I mean, aero position isn't that critical, right?

Any other issues? Has anyone done this before?

I'm sure people have put flat bar bikes on a kickr core. The main issue with putting a bike on a wheel-off trainer is if the correct axle is supplied with it. Is it a 135 QR rear wheel? How many speeds?

I use a dedicated bike on my trainer and it has flat bars because my wife also uses it and she prefers flat bars. I ride drop bars outside but for indoors it doesn’t matter as long as I have a comfortable riding position.
