Elite

SRAM XD/XDR Freehub Adapter

SRAM is a leading manufacturer in the cycling industry, known for its high-quality bicycle components such as gears, brakes, and cassettes. They are recognized for their innovative technology and designs, particularly in drivetrain systems, which enhance performance and reliability for cyclists of all levels.

XD and XDR cassettes are specialized gear systems designed by SRAM for modern mountain and road bikes. They offer a wider range of gear options, allowing for smoother shifting and better performance on various terrains. This means you can tackle steep climbs and fast descents more efficiently, enhancing your overall riding experience.

Elite Direct Drive Trainers connect directly to your bike's rear axle, providing a more stable and realistic riding experience compared to traditional wheel-on trainers. This design eliminates tire slippage and allows for more accurate power measurement, making your indoor training sessions more effective and enjoyable.

A freehub adapter is a crucial component that allows you to mount different types of cassettes on your bike's rear wheel. In the case of SRAM XD and XDR cassettes, the adapter ensures compatibility with Elite trainers, enabling you to use your preferred gear setup while training indoors without any hassle.

A spacer, specifically a 1.85mm spacer, is necessary when using XD cassettes to ensure proper alignment and function on your trainer. It helps accommodate the different widths and designs of cassettes and hubs, ensuring that your gear shifts smoothly and your training is effective.

While many indoor trainers are compatible with SRAM components, it's essential to check for specific compatibility with XD and XDR cassettes. Using a freehub adapter and the appropriate spacer will help ensure that your SRAM components work seamlessly with your trainer, providing an optimal indoor cycling experience.
