I think there are a few compounding factors - after doing almost no driving the last few weeks I have been doing a few long journeys visiting my dad to and taking him to hospital appointments. The kickr needs a slightly different pedalling motion, and the workouts have felt like more muscles are being used all over. With the tacx it seems it massively overestimated ftp and it felt really easy pedalling, kickr requires more effort and concentration to keep pedalling smooth. Plus the lower front end and it has just been enough to aggravate it the hip flexors. Also I installed an Iyengar yoga rope wall and have been doing a lot of yoga hanging from ropes and possibly some of this may have also contributed.
Taking into account the wheel block I had with the tacx the kickr is about 1.5cm higher at the rear than the tacx. Today I put the wheel block under the front wheel from the tacx and adjusted saddle to my old fit data. I just managed an hour recovery ride with no significant discomfort.
