Hello, is the Kickr Snap also compatible with old steel road bikes (vintage, quick release)? Thanks and regards!

The Wahoo Kickr Snap is generally compatible with old steel road bikes, but there are a few things to bear in mind:
- Frame width: It may be necessary to spread the frame slightly to fit the trainer, especially if the frame was originally designed for 126mm width and the trainer requires 130mm. However, this is usually no problem as many older steel frames are flexible enough.
- Hub type: The Kickr Snap supports various hub types, including Quick Release and 12×142 Thru-Axle with an adapter. It is important to make sure that the hub of the old road bike is compatible.
- Gear group: The gear group of the old road bike must be adapted to the trainer. It may be necessary to use shifters and a matching cassette to ensure smooth function.
Overall, the Kickr Snap is compatible with old steel road bikes, but may require some adjustments.
