How To Swap A Turbo Trainer Freehub & Cassette | Monday Maintenance 

What else would you like to see Alex cover for Maintenance Monday?

I recently helped someone set their wahoo up, and we found out he’d been using it for over a year WITHOUT the non drive side axle adapter piece! Frame was carbon too, somehow not cracked, but crazy how it went unnoticed. Thanks for be video, hopefully helps a lot of people set up their trainer correctly 👍

Great video!! This is exactly what I need since I am upgrading my TT bike from a 11 to a 12 speed. So glad I found you and this video! :)

Thanks for this video. After seeing it, decided to buy the required tools and swap out my Campag cassette with Shimano. Much easier than expected and far easier than taking my kickr back to the store for them to do this! Thanks again!

This guy read my mind! These vidoes are so helpful. Thanks Alex

Now I know what a spanner is. Thanks!

Thank you - very helpful vid!!!

Great video... now i know what all the parts are there for... almost replaced my lock nut for no reason phew! much needed video.

This saved me a pair of knuckles , nice!

One word, “Perfect!!”

Can I use a Campag branded Freehub? Or do I need to get a specific’wahoo’ campag Freehub to work on the KICKR?

What you should mention is that the XDR free body is on compatible with V5 or later versions of the kickr

how do I know if I need to add the spacer ring? installing 12 sp SRAM cassette onto TACX2 trainer.... a little confused... TIA

Great Video thanks

I just got a new kickr move but they wrenched on the free-hub nut too tight; I can't swap for campy; now I have to return it or strip out the nut with vice grips!!! It's not reverse thread there at 1:46 right?

The lock nut on the direto xr is the same for campy and Shimano.

Great video Alex. I've done the conversion to Sram but now it looks like that my thru axle is too short and wont thread. What have I done wrong?

Could you please answer.. If I have direct drive trainer which pre-installed with 11 speed cassette and I have bike with 8 speed.. Can I mount my bike on trainer and use? Atleast for those 8 gears?

Any tips on installing a freehub/cassette compatible with SRAM axs on an older Kickr model (2017)? The adjuster sold by Wahoo is only compatible with the Kickr 18 and up, so those of us with older Kickrs are out of luck....

Is there any microspline hub for wahoo on the market? Seems impossible to get an answer to this question...

My friend wants to set up an Elite Zumo trainer for Campag Athena 10 speed. He just so happens to have a spare rear wheel complete with a serviceable hub and cassette. Can he strip the wheel down and use this free hub body or does he need to buy an Elite one?

i got the same Speed cassette (same teeth nrs) for my Kickr and i had to adjust the derailleur in order to be able to shift to the highest gear. this means i would need prob a spacer extra on my bike in order to be able to swicth between trainer and bike without having to adjust the derailleur every time. is there other way? thanks

I have only Campag equipped bikes. Given that Shimano 11-speed and Campag 11-speed cassette spacing Is overall the same, is it necessary to buy the Campagnolo freehub adapter and fit a Campagnolo cassette, rather than just use the Shimano 11-speed cassette that often comes as standard with a new direct drive trainer?

Damned. Did this year ago. Went perfectly. Now I can not get end cap of. It just stays no matter how I try to get it of..

Don't I need a lighter grease for freehub pawls? I've hear using standard grease can be too sticky and lead to poor engagement.

Thanks Alex, most helpful. If I want to use a bike that is set up with an 11-32 and move it over to my Kickr with the factory installed 11-28, do I need to shorten the chain/change cassettes or can I get away with the swap?

Any idea why I am having gearing issues? It either won't down shift, or it would skip gears. Im running a Rival Groupo

#gcn tech Hi Alex, Ollie and Mannon. My question is. I have a power meter on a crankarm. I was wondering if I could epoxy it on a different crankarm.

Hi Alex, I have a 10 speed sram running on a kickr core does the same principle apply for this model if so I’ve not sure I’ve had the right set up from the beginning

I swear this video came out a week after I googled a bunch of videos on how to do this, in particular without a chain whip and only a chain! Safe to say my eyeballs are in tact! They nearly popped out trying to do this!

useing the adjustable the wrong way, the jaw offset it there for a reason

I have just bought my first Kickr Core and a 10-speed cassette as per my specifications for my bike. Will I need a spacer for a 10-speed seeing as Wahoo only sells an 11-speed cassette? And if so, can anyone point me in the direction of where I can get the correct spacer?

Great video. The one question I had was which way to orient the tool with the chain. I set up my Wahoo so it was facing the same direction as yours so I could tell the tool needed to go on the cassette with the curve and notch out part facing up. I don't see the purpose of the curve and the notch on the tool. Maybe you could explain what that does.

I ride sram. What do I need buy. ???

Could you please not put the cassette to the edge of the bench? It makes me nervous 😱

Sadly to SRAM company - they probably don't know what does it mean in Polish ;(

first!
