Every time I watch a new video I see that you've gotten more subscribers. Congrats!!

[@martijnvdh]

Super bedankt voor je helder uitleg! Eindelijk een logische oplossing..

[@zwiftcyklist]

Heel graag gedaan!

[@grobbosixtyone]

Was there any issue with the disk caliper rubbing on the Flux housing? I have a Neo Gen 1 so I hope my conversion goes as smoothly as yours did

[@izzypyzzy]

Great video! I have just bought my second Canyon this year (this time Aero) and my new Tacx Neo to train in doors over winter. And thanks to you I know how to set it up now! Thanks :)

[@zwiftcyklist]

Cool! And you're welcome:D Enjoy racing online

[@marcovoorthuis806]

Very good video..... only misses a part about the brakedisc spacer in the brakecaliper. But i liked the video, and the information was good! 💪👍

[@OscarLopez-jc7vj]

Hi, which space do you mean, I noticed that my caliper almost hit the tacx

[@johnreyes7897]

Mahalo! Thanks for this video. Have same issue with new Tracx Flux S. Took a lot of research to find this solution. Much appreciated.

[@zwiftcyklist]

You’re very welcome!

[@PhilipDenys]

ik heb een neo (v1) maar het zal wel dezelfde 'quickrelease' zijn :)

[@glennbastian5720]

Thanks for showing me how to do this!!!!!

[@MazingerZX]

Does the drive side screw and clamp against the painted part of the frame? If yes, that seems concerning…

[@christopherreid6972]

I have a pinerello dogma and I’m struggling to work out what adaptors to use? Any suggestions

[@bjornchristophhaack2705]

Thx for your video. Not sure if the Neo will fit my cyclocross bike with its 135mm rear axle with disc brakes anyway, but nice video. Like the 'La Machine' Cycle Cap.

[@dustingreenhill9711]

Tacx do a 135mm through axel kit ;)

[@MrHardcoreBS]

Is Neo 2T 12mm setup compatible with Flux S, i csn only buy neo2T set here, my frehub is Type 2 like on neo and 12mm axle?? Are they gona fit??

[@takenapsbehappy]

Hello, i have a question. Is the thru axel adapter the model T2835?, the link in garmin is not working and I do need the same adapter you show . Thanks 🙏

[@LeoReynosoAvila]

I just bought a cervelo s3 with disc brakes and the axle is a bit different from the one on your video, its called RAT (Rapid Axle Technology). The cassette side of the bike is very different, and you cant fit any of the pieces of the Tacx axle... do you happen to know what type of axle or pieces should I buy? Btw, great video!!

[@oscarferrada6549]

Gracias, excelente explicación al problema que tenia,, ahora a esperar que me lleguen los adaptadores,, se agradece...

[@oscarferrada6549]

pasaron las semana, y llego,,, ahora super

[@YonnBokern]

Dear velofiel, I have some problems with the resistance. In this video I saw that you also have a lot of resistance. Do you know how to solve this?

[@theprinces1k787]

Why is there so much resistance? I thought i was doing something wrong.

[@nickarls]

Thanks for the great video! I got my bike attached and it feels solid. The only thing I'm wondering about is if that nothing actually screws into the threads on the frame (where the thru-axle attaches) and the plug only threads onto the adapter pin, won't the weight rest on the threads in the frame, possibly damaging them?

[@zwiftcyklist]

I tought about that same issue as well but up till now I’m having to trouble at all. I check the tread and bushes regularly and all seems okay

[@nickarls]

velofiel yes, I actually called Tacx support and they confirmed it should be like that and they haven't received any reports about damaged threads. I guess the threads are non-standard anyway and if it comes to the worst, the threads can be replaced with a new derailleur hanger

[@aliancemd]

I was not sure that I can remove the cap because it has that sticky tape which will probably attach harder back on. Thanks

[@zwiftcyklist]

You're very welcome! Attaching it back on is a pain in the **s, if I switch between zwifting and riding outside I put a piece of handlebar tape over the hole. In the spring I'll use some glue to stick it back on.

[@aliancemd]

@@zwiftcyklist A few minutes later I actually found that you can use the original(without removing the cap) when using those bigger adapters: 12x142 NDS + 12 DS.

[@hectorcampelloirles3248]

Flux tacx. Not found for the neo tacx

[@ryanmurphy5655]

Hi, thanks for the video I’ve just got my Flux and I too have a bolt through axle with disc breaks. The flux came with the correct adapter (12x142). But the provided skewer does not fit. My skewer from the bike does however. Any advice

[@SlicedSlappy]

Ryan did you find a solution?

[@SlicedSlappy]

Can you explain why I need this adaptor? I’m also running a 142 x 12 thru. I’m able to mount the bike to the flux s without the adapter but it does seem to vibrate. Can you help explain this? I’ve ordered the adaptor but can’t find a mathematical reason why I need to?

[@zwiftcyklist]

It’s because of the axle, the quickrelease axle is a lot thinner

[@Daniel-ib4tu]

It is possible to use two 12mm adapters each side and use the axle that I have in my bike? Or I have to use tacx axle?

[@zwiftcyklist]

U can use your own

[@Daniel-ib4tu]

I wait my tacx flux s this yesterday, if it is come with 12mm adapter I do not need to bought this tacx axle? Or it is better?

[@zwiftcyklist]

You can use your own axle as long as there is no play between the axle and the bushes.

[@OscarLopez-jc7vj]

How abt the cap, how do you keep it sticky

[@zwiftcyklist]

It doesn't stay sticky, I just left it off for now

[@migzconcha4152]

hi mate, i bought the same adapter that u have, my problem is the tacx flux s seems to have a bigger thread and the adapter wont fit...hope u can help me..

[@zwiftcyklist]

Ohw really? I don’t recognize your problem... the thread fits perfect, it was a little struggle in the beginning but I got it on

[@jimkleijnen332]

I have the same problem @migz - were you able to solve it?

[@migzconcha4152]

@@jimkleijnen332 yeah bro, tacx flux s from late 2019 to current does come with the adapter that is needed for a disc bike...the old model tacx flux doesn't..did not know it at 1st as i bought the trainer from my friend and he forgot to tell me that its does come with some adapters as he set it aside because he had a rim brake bike..so if u have the just the tacx flux then u need those adapters shown in the video, if ur tacx flux s didn't come with the adapter then u need to buy it directly with tacx or garmin..

[@MerlijnBt]

Hi! Do you have a Tacx Flux S Smart T2900S?

[@zwiftcyklist]

Hi Merlin, that’s correct!

[@chesspiano8756]

@@zwiftcyklist I have the Tacx Flux Smart and i think you have also the Tacx Flux Smart. The Flux S Smart has that logo on the trainer and by you i see only Tacx Flux wthout the "S".
