Wahoo Kickr w/ Campy Compatibility
What is the out of the box compatibility with Campy 11 speed systems? This is for the newer Kickr version. If I go back and forth between Shimano and Campy bikes will I need to change freehubs on the Kickr? I am a bit confused as to what the included components support vs. what needs to be purchases seperately.

an 11 speed cassette has the same spacing and overall width for both brands, so you can use whatever is on the kickr.

Out of the box, it's only Shimano/Sram compatible. You need a new freehub if you want to use Campagnolo cassettes. Fortunately, for 11 speed, all major brands use the same spacing as unterhausen says, so you can just throw in the Shimano/SRAM cassette that you find that has the best gearing for you and is the cheapest and run whichever drivetrain(s) suits your fancy.

The only issue with swapping back and forth will be the start point, the smallest cog. It just needs to be in the same position on both bikes and the trainer otherwise you'll need to correct each time with the barrel adjuster on one or the other and that is a PITA. It likely is close enough though.
