Pros
- Go smart, somethjng with a zwift cog.
- Yeah how about looking into virtual shifting with something like the zwift cog / hub which works with any sort of bike drive train configuration, you dont have to retune your derailleur going back and forth
- Virtual shifting is nice but if you don't want to go that route then just get the 2nd cassette for the trainer.
- The cog runs quieter and feels natural to use.
- I’ve been using the Wahoo Kickr Core with the Zwift Cog since December.
Cons
- That Zwift lock-in with the cog is brutal - you're basically paying rent on your own trainer forever.
- The Cog is really most suitable for people wanting to use more than one bike with different numbers of gears on the same trainer. If you just plan to use only one bike on the trainer then there isn't really any benefit of the Cog over a...

Just get a Zwift cog. Save your cassette from extra wear and spin away 👌

Experience compatibility with almost any 8-12-speed bike and enjoy the ease of virtual shifting. Zwift Cog even comes with a chain guard for mess and maintenance-free riding, keeping your drivetrain smooth and secure.
