Have an H2 now, have an opportunity to sell it to a friend and get a new H3 for an extra $200. One thing i know is improved is noise which is definitely a bonus for me since it will help keep the noise levels down for when my wife is studying in the evenings or sleeping in some mornings. Is anythin…

These are really sad news that a 12 speed Shimano cassette will not work on the Saris for my new Canyon Endurace CF SL8 Di2 with Shimano Ultegra 12 speed… That means I have to look for antoher trainer?

Just an update to my H3 woes, after receiving the belt replacement kit and swapping the belt, it has still been squeaking. Contacted Saris again to let them know, they suggested perhaps I installed the belt wrong but as its the same issue I had before the belt replacement I suggested the belt swap l…

Was going to try a bike fit on my H3. According to the spirit level, the back hub axle is about 2” lower than the front hub axle. Surprised that the neutral position isn’t level. Am I doing something wrong? Or maybe surprised that the rear is lower than the front. Would have assumed the opposite, …

What kind of bike, size of front wheel & tire? I’ve used mine for some fits and had to raise the rear for MTB fits with 29ers.

Diamondback Haanjo. 700x40 wheel/tire in front. Should highlight that it’s all mounted on an MP1, but the plywood deck measures dead flat. Edit: As you’re aware, I’m using the AI bike fit. So I could certainly shim it all to get it level temporarily while on the MP1, but for regular day to day ridi…

Yeah. The Hammer series trainer was not designed to have that larger riser block. There’s a reason Saris included the super thin one. Also keep in mind that they most likely designed the axle height to be close to level for a typical road bike having a 700 x 25-28 tire. Your 40mm gravel tire will…

Ugh. Thanks. Just when you think you’re making progress… :smile:

Want to thank @mcneese.chad again here, I used the plumb bob and got the bike more precisely centered on the M1 platform and it’s so much better now. Did full 2 hours in my TT position on it today, and finally feel like between the TT bike setup and the Hammer/M1 platform setup, I finally have my tr…

Right on!!! So glad anytime we can get a solution that works :smiley: Thanks for the follow up as it helps me for the next similar issue :+1:

@mcneese.chad – Here’s what it looks like in my temporary setup. Yes, could remove the block under the front wheel. That would gain me about an inch. But front axle would still be about 1" higher than rear axle.
