Good afternoon,

I would like to explained a situation to see if anyone can help.

I purchased an Elite Suito smart trainer and it comes with an 11speed cassette incorporated. Because I have a cannondale synapse disc sora 2019 (with a Shimano CS HG-400 9speed), I had to buy a 9speed cassette and I’ve got a shimano CS HG-50 9 speed. 

After installing the 9speed cassette and do all the set up, I have crancky noise when I’m pedaling. I’ve been trying to adjust the gears with the screws but I still have the noise and it is not changing smoothly. (I put lubricate as well)

Any other ideas about what to do? The shimano CS HG-50 9 speed it is compatible with my chain KMC Z99 9speed, right? Not sure what it can be and I’m worried if i’m damaging my bike or the cassette.

Thank you in advance for your help.

I put my disc brake bike on the turbo and the left hand spacer had fallen on floor,and I had something like what you’re describing. ?

I did the same with my Direto.

Hi Nigel,

Hi Nigel,

thanks for your reply. In my bike I have a 11-34 and the one I added to the trainer it is 11-30.

I’ll check that again today and see if it is touching or try to adjusted again (it did not work yesterday).

I think they should be
I think they should be compatible, is it the same ratio cassette as on the rear wheel of your bike? I.e. 11-32 or 11-28 etc? Not sure what you mean by cranky.

When you have the bike on the trainer look down at the chain, cassette and the rear derailleur and see if they are lined up, otherwise you might need to adjust.

Also I dont have the suito but check that the rear derailleur isn’t actually hitting/touching the machine – some machines might not be compatible with long cage dérailleurs I believe, but don’t know if that might be the case here.

Hi, 

Hi, 

Thank you for your reply. I do have that, the suito come with two of those, one to add 10speed and two for the 9 speed.

To fit a 9-speed (actually

To fit a 9-speed (actually anything between 7-10 speed) cassette to an 11-speed Shimano hub you need a small spacer to keep it in place…
