How To Swap A Turbo Trainer Freehub & Cassette | Monday Maintenance
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- With the weather getting colder over here in the northern hemisphere, more of us are turning to indoor training. Wheel-off turbo trainers are great but they’re not always ready to use. Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo all use different freehubs and cassettes, so you will need to swap in the right one for your bike. Alex shows you how it’s done on a Wahoo KICKR trainer.

Get rid of annoying sound from somewhere at your bike 101: from disc brake rotor to bottom bracket
Cleaning and maintenance of shifter bodies that have been sweated all over while riding the indoor trainer.
I would like to see maintenance of the Kickr BB bearings and belt drive.
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 👍
how is it even possible to use w/o?
@@AtillaWP with a LOT of play
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!
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! :)
This guy read my mind! These vidoes are so helpful. Thanks Alex
Glad you like them!
Now I know what a spanner is. Thanks!
Thank you - very helpful vid!!!
What you should mention is that the XDR free body is on compatible with V5 or later versions of the kickr
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?
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?
Great video... now i know what all the parts are there for... almost replaced my lock nut for no reason phew! much needed video.
Thanks, We're glad we could help!
how do I know if I need to add the spacer ring? installing 12 sp SRAM cassette onto TACX2 trainer.... a little confused... TIA
This saved me a pair of knuckles , nice!
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....
Dont thimk it will work.
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?
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?
Great Video thanks
Is there any microspline hub for wahoo on the market? Seems impossible to get an answer to this question...
The lock nut on the direto xr is the same for campy and Shimano.
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?
We we would always recommend using the proper freehub and cassette that your groupset needs. You often get into small compatibility issues, even if both seem very similar.
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.
Any idea why I am having gearing issues? It either won't down shift, or it would skip gears. Im running a Rival Groupo
I'm currently attempting to put Rival eTap bike on my Kickr Core and am also having gearing issues. I've read that re-indexing is necessary, but that's not going very well. I hope by now you've found a fix. If you have, please share. Thanks

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
Yeah you will need a 10 speed cassette
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?
I have the same setup, did nothing, works pretty fine without problems
@@martinreichelprivat Thanks man, I'll give it a try
@@ryansebers396 did it end up working? I having the exact same problem with my trek and would like to cut the hassle of installing a new cassette
@@lilman2302 Yep works fine, been using this bike on the Kickr for the past year without changing cassettes
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.
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?
Kickr should come with a spacer? Bit that confused me was the shimano 10 speed cassette I got also had a spacer… do I need to use both 🤷♂️
I've used 9, 10 and 11 speed cassettes with no spacers. The cassettes are the same width.
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!
Could you please not put the cassette to the edge of the bench? It makes me nervous 😱
I ride sram. What do I need buy. ???
first!
Sadly to SRAM company - they probably don't know what does it mean in Polish ;(
