There's something really satisfying about the sound of a thru axle sliding in the dropouts

once again, you are a life saver. i was also converting QR to thru axle but the instruction manual that came with it sucks big time. after watching your video, it is so easy !

I've had trouble setting up my bike on my direto, thank you so much for making me understand how to do it, I was on the verge of giving up. I owe you a lot of future pain on my brand new home trainer ;-).

What kind of thru axle did you use on your setup i have the same bike and I'm looking to buy a dorito trainer as well thanks again enjoy watching your videos

[petervandersteegen]

good video, would be perfect if you had a close-up of the adapters you used. it now is unclear from the video.

I have the specialised tarmax sport with disk brakes and have just set up, had the right casset installed on the trainer to match aswell. But after attatching the bike there is grinding on the casset and chain. Is this a spacer issue? Would love any advice i can get

Hi Shane. I’m putting my disc road bike on the Direto X. Should I put some blocks in the rear brake caliphers? Kind regards, Paul

Do you know what sort of thru axle to use? I've had my direto for a while now and have lost the thru axels and I need to put my disc brake bike on it. Amy link to purchasing what I need would be helpful. Thank you

Are there adapters for 12x135 thru axle road bikes? I have a wilier GTR disc that is 12x135. I believe specialized also uses this on the tarmac and roubaix

Hi, i have a trainer-bike with quick releases and a CX bike with thru axles. Im racing cx atm and for position on the bike it is better to ride cx bike indoors. Is it safe (safer) for the frame to use cx bike with thru axles on the trainer?

Hi Shane, my i ask the suggestion. I used onwheel fluid trainer (non-interactive) and sufferfest software, with Garmin 2 power-pedals. Now i've got bike upgraded to the trek domane which is throughaxle. So if i need to upgrade to directdrive trainer (because of... more stable while riding standup and throughaxle capability) what would be my best budget choive and what would be best money no object choice ? thanks ina advance

Hi Shane, is this mod possible with an Elite Turbomuin... I have upgraded my bike and now I fear my trainer is also needing replacement. I am on 2019 Roubaix with 142x12 and it appears the turbomuin will not take any adaptors... Your thoughts would be most appreciated. Cheers Rich.

IS this trainer compatible with a SRAM Eagle 12 speed cassette with boost 12x148 spacing in the rear wheel?

Direto can fit the wahoo climb? Or not?

I have a thru axle and as described in the video the adaptor kit came with my direto. I have everything in place and the thru axle tight but there is still a lot of play as if I'm missing a spacer. Has anyone came across this. Appreciate your response. Thanks.
