@Cy I have been looking around to see if anything meets all of the criteria that you are looking for.  One of the closest is the new Salsa Timberjack XT 29.  The drivetrain is mostly XT and it is 12 speed.  The brake are Shimano but not the XT line.  Cannondale has a Trail 2 29er but the only part on it that is XT is the rear derailleur.  But that model only has 11 speeds.  Both are great bikes.  Good luck in your search!   Perhaps someone else will chime in with a bike that more closely matches what you are looking for. ...

@Cy one of the awesome things about cycling is you can change a lot of things on your bike to set it up the way that you want it.  In order to best talk about options I need to ask some qualifying questions.  Do you already have a particular bike in mind?  If so what specific parts do you want to change (ie going to a 1x in the front?  or changing the 'level' of the drivetrain)  There are a lot of options but with so many different standards there is no simple answer.  In helping customers in the past I would always recommend getting the bike that comes the closest to the setup that you want, you will have fewer parts to change and usually comes out as the most economical way to do it.

Hello @cocotypo.  I will add to what Jim has already said.  Whatever trainer you go with you will want to use a mat under it. One of the  quietest trainers that we carry is the Wahoo Kickr Core. When set up correctly most of what you hear is your chain/ drivetrain.   Hopefully you can build a set up that allows you to get the riding that you want in and not irritate your neighbors. ...

heyaudra, the 22 inch models will be perfect for you.  If you happen to encounter conditions where there is a ton of light powder snow or you are carrying a heavier load you have the option of adding the flotation tails (sold separately)  to give you more float.  But for most conditions the 22 inch are the ones to go with for you. ...

I have been listening to podcasts on my commute for a while now.  Favorites are "Safety Third" (topics are about varied outdoor activities).  "Bikes or Death" is a great podcast about bikepacking.  "Marginal Gains" is a great podcast about cycling in the science behind going fast.   Looking for others to listen to while I spend some time on the trainer over the next couple of weeks. ...

@KRadMed I have 2 of the NiteRider Lumina lights and I like them as well.  As far as feedback for how the button is designed I would contact NiteRider directly as they design and manufacture the product.  I have not personally seen a return for the button. I dig your creative solution with painters tape   Ride safe out there! ... View more

John is correct.  I went through this same decision last year and for me and my needs the Core made more sense.  Looks the the differences John talked about and figure out what is best for you.  the one that I will add is the Core is quietest of all of the Wahoo models so depending where and when you are riding your trainer it may be important. ...

Brian, it is Greg over here in cold snowy Michigan. As I am staring down a dark and dangerous riding season I am trying to find my stoke for indoor training.  I have been an indoor rider for a few off seasons with mixed results. Some years I am really dedicated and some years I am sporadic at best. I have been using Trainerroad the past few years. This year I switched to Zwift.  For some reason I am just having a hard time getting motivated. In years past I find it motivating to have a big ride early in the season to train for or having another person to computer with.  I have the trainer all set up with fans, a Wahoo Kickr Core and a tv but I am struggling with getting going. Any advice for re-kindling the stoke?  my big ride for the year 2020 is in August so no big incentive to get my butt in gear.  ... View more

Yes it can be used on bike trainers!   ... View more
