I have a KK road machine which has served me well for years but I have not used the Inride equipment. If you haven't already done so, here's a pretty good review of the product by DC Rainmaker.

I use a KK rock n roll trainer. I use the inride 2 sensor to communicate with zwift. It works great. Never had any issues with it in approximately 1 year. I borrowed a friends wahoo kickr for a few weeks to test out. The power reading between my KK and wahoo kickr were fairly close together, so I think the inride is fairly accurate.

Having said all that, my major issue with it is how inaccurate the cadence reading is. I have a wahoo blue speed and cadence sensor so I pair that for cadence and use the inride sensor for power.

This set up has served me well. I actually gave the wahoo kickr back to my friend early because I prefer my KK.

Try and keep everything consistent from ride to ride and you will be happy with it.

This made me laugh because my Garmin ANT+ sensor died almost a year ago.  My Cadence sensor will sometimes record 4-5 RPM but usually just sits at zero.  So...any cadence sensor would be more accurate than the dead Garmin ANT+ that I have.  I count my right foot for 15 seconds when I am at a steady power to see where my cadence is at. It would be nice to have a sensor to do the work of counting but I use the Kurk Kinetics Road machine for the power data.  The HR Data and Cadence Data were just bonuses.  I use the Road Machine Fluid trainer with the  Whoo iphone adaptor to pair my Garmin ANT+ Speed/Cadence/Heartrate sensors with Trainers roads.  I am very happy with virtual Watts for indoor bike training.  I have done very well with that setup for power training.  I would like to go to Blue Took Sensors when the Ant+ speed sensor dies though so the inride sensor is on my wish list.  Swift requires Bluetooth so I can Swift or use Suffest with my ANT+ setup.

I really enjoy my wahoo blue speed and cadence sensor. I think it was $40. That paired with my Scosche Rhythm 24 bluetooth heart rate monitor and the inride sensor track everything I need.

It was definitely worth the splurge for me. I do a lot of low cadence work and HR zone training. All the sensors make Zwift training 10x better as well.

The cadence reading on my Powertap G3 hub is horrible, like not even directionally accurate.

I got it all set up and attempted to reset sensors on my Garmin 920xt lol I was doing 65mph reset them I guess i selected the wrong thing somehow I need to learn how the sensors are numbered finally got it working ok and fumbled with the kinetic app for a while I see there will be a learning curve to this. it showed I was pushing about 78 watts in HR zone 1 man my bike fitness sucks.
