Nice video. It would be really helpful and much appreciated if you could do another video where you zoom in on the different nuts and bolts and where they do. Thanks.
Great video, thank you. It really doesn't come with the best manual does it?! I've got the same and am mounting a rim brake specialized tarmac with QR's and wondering do I need spacer "C"?! And if so where? Right now I've got it setup without it?
I have a 130 rear hub, the little 5mm spacer is meant to be on the outside of the bike frame but how do you actually get this to work without taking the spring off the skewer?
Thanks for the vid! Curious how Red eTap is working? I thought I'd have to replace the shimano hub with the Elite XDR freehub to make the etap compatible?
The stock cassette that comes with it is 11sp. If you get the one without, you may need to order your own. Just buy one that is made for your groupset. If you have a 12sp groupset, you may need to order an additional freehub from Elite.
@@milosgrujic9118 Indeed. There are two versions of the trainer - one with the cassette (which should be an 11sp) and one without. I think that's the Suito T. For that, just get an identical cassette. Stay tuned though, as I plan on putting out a couple more trainer reviews.
@@Cat3ForLife Exactly, I ordered the Suito-T specifically because I don't have an 11-speed cassette, and I ordered the 10-speed cassette seperately. I guess reading the product description is hard for some people ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I am a beginner. I need zoomed in shots, more explanation of terms, and principles. The directions mention placing these plastic o-rings and taking off the cassette (term I had to learn) but I couldn’t even figure out how to take off the cassette
Maybe a daft question but if I have a 10-speed road bike, can I still use that with the 11 speed Cassette or is this where the spacers come in to play?
Yes. I don't know the rider weight limit, but it's very solidly built. I'd wager a guess that, if you don't break your bike, you won't easily break the trainer either.
@@Cat3ForLife ha crap, I just bought them on a whim because the rollers were not enough for me. Let’s hope I fall under the category of they’ll be good enough for lol
Hey guys, after putting on my bike I can see that my chain is touching the right side of my front derailleur, so my chain is not straight and touches the bigger gear on the back (so the suito cassette) Anybody who can help me? Do I need to adjust the back derailleur or also the front?! Thx!!!
It should seat just fine without adjustments. However, I have found that done bikes do require a minor rear adjustment to ride more smoothly on direct drive trainers. However, the thing you're talking about sounds more like a whole rear mech alignment may be needed. The good news is, it's a cheap and quick job at most bike shops
Hi, Nice video !! I just got my elite suito last week. On my current bike I have a 11 speed cassette so technically I should just put it on there and it should work fine...Unfortunately my gear is skipping and making a lot of noise ( a little like you in your video ) I am out of lube and all the stores are closed :( ( I did order from amazon but it takes a little while ). Is it possible that it does that because of the dry cassette ?? Thanks I am desperate !!
It is possible, but if it's not that, it could be a little bit of misalignment at the rear derailleur. I have to move mine inboard by 1mm on every trainer I use. If you have barrel adjusters on your rear derailleur, do 2 to 4 clicks counter clockwise and see if that helps. If better, awesome. If worse, try the other way. You'll have to do the opposite when you put the bike back on the road. I've had to do this with every direct drive trainer.
@@etiennecasteil6649 you should already have one on your gear cable. It's to make minute adjustments on your shifting. Generally, it's right next to the rear derailleur.
I ve been ordered elite suito and waiting for delivery. I watched a video on youtube that explain the skewers/QR was ruined and also damage the bike. Are you still using the skewers included in the package or you use another skewers? How about the feeling riding on it, is it good and realistic? Thanks
@@Cat3ForLife this is the link of the video i mentioned before ua-cam.com/video/U3z__ec7V7U/v-deo.html Mine was arrived yesterday, cant wait for trying it myself. How about yours? Is it still going fine? Any issues or problems?
@@zaniarramadhani7288 Just checked out that video. Thanks for sharing. I see a couple things there. First, this is an early gen. They've since fixed a few issues. Second, I can almost guarantee that the OP of that video put that skewer on wrong. There is a spacer on the non drive side of the skewer that goes **outside** the bike frame to allow vertical motion. I bet money he put it on the inside which put the skewer way too far out making it unstable. Plus, since he doesn't know that a derailleur hanger is a very cheap and easily broken part, my guess is that he's not too sure of what he was doing. I wish him the best and it sounds like, based on the comments below his video that Elite made things right. Cheers! TC
@@Cat3ForLife thank you so much for your explanation, i think you got the right point. My trainer is May 2020 production date, already got 2.5 m cable, so i think its not the 1st batch production. I hope mine work well and last forever. I'll wait for your next video 👍🏻
Why so people not tell you the obvious points like ro open the legs you have pull the strange little clips to release the legs now try closing it . Its very stiff
Nice video. It would be really helpful and much appreciated if you could do another video where you zoom in on the different nuts and bolts and where they do. Thanks.
Just got mine today . Watching this video to put together
Awesome! Let me know what you think when you get it up and running
@@HiDefSymphony I will most definitely let you know. I went from a dum trainer to this .so it's a big upgrade for me .
Great video, thank you.

I've got the same and am mounting a rim brake specialized tarmac with QR's and wondering do I need spacer "C"?! And if so where? Right now I've got it setup without it?
Ty for the video, one random question thought…
How does swift calculate ur speed or knowing when u turn, is there another add-on after this?
I have a 130 rear hub, the little 5mm spacer is meant to be on the outside of the bike frame but how do you actually get this to work without taking the spring off the skewer?
What if you lose all the quick release pieces, the skewer, and power cord? Any advise?
Thanks for the vid! Curious how Red eTap is working? I thought I'd have to replace the shimano hub with the Elite XDR freehub to make the etap compatible?
I'm using etap 11 speed which dies doesn't require the adapter. If you use etap axs 12 speed, then you need it.
@@Cat3ForLife Thanks for reply!
How on earth did you get the bike on in one go.
What kind of casete I have to buy for trainer?
The stock cassette that comes with it is 11sp. If you get the one without, you may need to order your own. Just buy one that is made for your groupset. If you have a 12sp groupset, you may need to order an additional freehub from Elite.
@@Cat3ForLife My grp set is 2x11 so 11sp should be fine.

@@Cat3ForLife Thanks!
Maybe in your locale however, in UK the Suito I can confirm does not come with a cassette
Sorry, that's not accurate. The Suito ships with a cassette installed. The Suito T does not. That's the only difference in these two models.

You'll need the spacers and a 10 speed cassette.
@@Cat3ForLife Thank you for the quick response.
Can i use a 9 speed cassette with spacer on this? and, whats the recommended maximum rider weight limit?
Yes. I don't know the rider weight limit, but it's very solidly built. I'd wager a guess that, if you don't break your bike, you won't easily break the trainer either.
Are you still happy with the trainer?. Thinking of buying.
Short answer is mostly yes. I'm going to post a full review very shortly. For many people, this trainer will be perfect. For others, not.
@@Cat3ForLife yeah, a review would be nice !

Why so people not tell you the obvious points like ro open the legs you have pull the strange little clips to release the legs now try closing it . Its very stiff
Actually, you don't. The clips only keep it from closing the legs, not opening them.
