Direto Cannot be Repaired - now what

Hi all, Hope everyone is keeping safe and well. I'm chasing up with the store my Elite Direto which seems to be un-repairable. I have had it over a year but none the less it should be either repaired or replaced if faulty. It seems that the distributor has issued a credit note so - suggesting that t...

Re: Pulley nut removal and recalibration

I'm just going through this now and have ended up taking it back to the retailer after confirming with the distributors that they'd get it looked at. I had the issue where the whole spindle was turning and the fan was staying still. I had a spanner slim enough but couldn't get the fan off and I am p...

Re: Direto w/ 11 Speed Shimano 105

Looks like you've ruled out some of the possibilities. Carbon frames have metal hangers but of your indexing is fine through the block that rules it out too. If you have the ability to put your bike's cassette on the trainer you should be able to answer this - assuming of course that when your bike ...

Re: Direto XR hard resistance at the start.

If it's in ERG mode you will always have this issue - put it into the small chain ring and mid cassette and the resistance will adjust downwards as you start - it;s trying to adjust the resistance to what you're putting in so trying to turn 250 watts say in three revs is a great deal harder than 250...

Re: Direto w/ 11 Speed Shimano 105

There's a thread similar to this over on the trainerroad forum about miss aligned cassette on the trainer. Essentially the cassette on the trainer will never be in exactly the same place as on your wheels when considering the centre line of your bike and a few mm's out will cause headaches. This can...

Re: Elite Direto Knocking Sound

Hi, Pleased I managed to find this thread as my Direto after over a year of faultless service has also developed this clicking/knocking noise. It happens with the bike on the trainer and without the b :shock: ike - turning the flywheel by hand. I have checked that the cassette is on properly and not...
