How many spacers with DIRETO?

Good afternoon.

The DIRETO has already arrived and when placing the cassette I have the doubt about I have to place 1 spacer, 2 spacers or none.

I'm riding an 8-speed cassette, where the 6 large crowns are solidary and the 2 small are separated.

This is what the manual indicates:

This is how I have 2 spacers:

Let's see if anyone can tell me what is the right thing to do, because I am not clear about what the manual intends to indicate nor the exact function of these spacers.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Our trainer is compatible with 9, 10 and 11 speed cassette. It's not compatible with 8 speed cassette.
Anyway, you can try to mount it in any case, ask the help of a mechanic to understand how many spacers are required.
We cannot assure a good functioning of the gear.

Regards

185mm plus 1mm his too much in my opinion its pushes the cassete further out, the 13 sprocket hardly goes on...I have tried 3x1mm spacers, 185mm on its own, I can not stop the 13 sprocket rumbling. I put the 2x1mm spacers out of the bag you get. The gears work, but the bottom sprocket 13 his terrible. I am on a shimano 10speed hg500 cassette and on a hg 10 chain. The weird thing is on the big ring. All the gears work, it's just on the 36 inner ring on the bottom sprocket his the problem, I tried every configuration of the spacers to no avail. The derailer his straight under the 14 sprocket, I had to put two turns on the barrel adjuster, from the normal wheel on the bike. I even tried a new chain and cassette on it was very rough, i put the old one back on. Right, I have tried an 11 speed ultegra hg 601 on, and it works well. It's on the bottom sprocket, there his a bit of rumble on 13sprocket, but no where has bad has the 10speed. So try an 11 speed chain on a 10speed cassette if you use 10speed set up and the chain alignment his poor on bottom end.
