Thanks all.
Thanks all.

Still unsure whether to go Direct drive or not, but at least it’s purely about cost/feature set now.

I went for an elite Rampa though not direct drive there are adaptors grin various sources and the Elite one is crap compared to the one I use. Mind you it just fits in the turbo.
I was considering direct drive myself but just got out off as wasn’t too sure and there seems to be conflicting info to go with the variety of standards on bikes now a days.

Actually this is a good question.

I don’t have a direct drive turbo but wanted to ask as well, as a related query – is it a one-size-fits-all thing for the rear hub? Or are there spacers or axle extensions or similar gubbins for better fit on the dropouts?

I ask because there are at least three hub spacings for road bikes now (130 mm for rim brake, 135 mm for QR disc, 142 mm for TA disc) – was wondering if they could all use the same direct-drive turbo.

As long as you can fit the frame to the trainer there shouldn’t be.  Some seem to have adaptors as they use thru axles so check compatibility before you buy.
