Difficulties installing bike on Direto

Postby Vorko76 » Wed Dec 02, 2020 3:39 pm

Hello everyone,

I have been struggling installing my bike on my newly purchased Direto. My bike is a Giant TCR Advanced with an 11-speed Shimano 105 cassette and I also installed an 11-speed 105 Shimano on my Direto.

To install the bike, I used a spacer on the QR Skewer, inserted it and then install the skewer. (see image)

Problem:
- if I dont squeeze the skewer tight around the frame, the frame is moving a bit
- if I squeeze it tight, then the cassette is not turning anymore (too tight)

Any idea whats wrong?

Finally I ended up using the thru axle adapters and my thru axle skewer and it works fine :D

Hello, i have a Giant TCR Advanced 3 2021 frame, is it compatible with the direto smart trainer? I have just had to return the wahoo as it isnt compatible and it damaged my bike, if you could confirm that would be great!

Hi

I've looked at it on the internet and it seems compatible (it seems to have a standard geometry).
But to be sure look at this link:
