I have a hybrid bike that I am desperately trying to setup properly on a Tacx Neo 2t. The bike is 7-speed, the chain, the cassette, the derailleur - all 7-speed. I know that tacx says the unit is compatiable for 9, 10 and 11 speed. I don’t have this kind of bike.I bought a Shimano Ultegra R8000 11 Speed Cassette with my Neo because I thought this might work.
And it did. For a while, the 7 speed bike worked with the 11 speed cassette. Of course, some gears felt weird but i could actually use the trainer. Then, I tried climbing something for a long time. It was loud but the bike had just detached from the freehub. So i just fixed it on again but the chain since this ordeal keeps on slipping and sliding. The chain is holding onto the casette very poorly and keeps slipping. There’s no way i can use this trainer like this.
I am a complete noob. Thank you so much for the advice, just ordered a 7-speed cassette and will try this out. it’s so weird… it was working OK until i climbed on the regular. Urgh. Probably f’d the chain aswell.
i probably f’d the chain like an idiot. It was fine until i started climbing on the regular. I just bought a 7 speed cassette and will see if that works. I only discovered bike gears were a thing 2 weeks ago so i think a chain switcheroo situation cannot happen. It should be illegal for me to be able to do that to any bike.
Yeah if you don’t have an 11 speed bike, just a 7 speed cassette and chain will fix the problem, then it should work inside and outside. You can likely sell the cassette, although it may be damaged by now.
