So long story short, my Bkool Go started making a hideous noise on Monday after only a month of ownership and stopped recording mph and watts etc. After sending numerous emails to Bkool for support and not receiving a reply (natch) I took the casing off last night to see if the issue with old ones of flywheel hitting casing was the issue with mine.
It turned out the nut holding the axel on the opposite side of the roller had come completely off so after that was reattached and tightened the roller rolls and it's recording again. My question is, on the axel next to the nut is a plastic flywheel with teeth which has slightly warped, not sure if the nut coming off damaged it or it was always that way, the trainer was always occasionally noisy, the upshot is that it is knocking the casing as it spins, so I'm wondering if it's required at all and if so what purpose it serves. I've emailed Bkool to ask for a replacement but I don't expect a response so I thought I would consult this august body.
Oh and by the way, Hello folks!
