Hi, would you pls DM me in order to talk about an extra set of end caps + needle bearings to buy from you? Thanks! This is a great solution, exactly what I need on my NEo 2T 
I can make more I need to check on pricing. Please translate to English for me if you don’t mind.

Not sure how to DM in Zwift. What bike are you using on the trainer. These only work for Quick release axles at the moment, not through axle. Also I need to know spacing. Mine work amazingly! I also have the Tacx rocker plates and have modified the Rizr a bit so it moves well with the Tacx on the motion plates. I now have the most realistic indoor experience you can have: Hill simulation, steering, road feel and coasting on downhills. You cant make a better set up.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your reply.
I guess a lot of people might be happy if you could provide your solution for the Taxc Neo 2T in combination with the Elite Rizer.
So if you are offering additional sets, for sure I will be interested.

Hi Peter, thanks for replying so promptly. I’m using an older Canyon bike on the trainer with a QR 5mm quick release system, so same like you :-). Could you offer me a set of machined adapters and two needle bearing/spacer sets (one per side), please? Currently I am using 2 PTFE discs, but by doing so the support for my dropouts is so thin, I’m afraid damaging my frame when tilting it under load. Extended adapter pin lengths and flat axial needle bearings are the perfect solution to make it a solid engineered solution. Happy to pay via PayPal
Hi Peter,
what exactly are you referring to by ‘spacing’? Total length of the smaller diameter pin on the adapters? They seem perfectly right in the pictures as they are: Whatever the axial bearings ‘steal’ in length from the small dia section of the adapters, this amount needs to be added back to them by extending the smaller distance pin length accordingly. As far as rear dropout pass-thru width, my frame can easily be flexed to adjust for those 4-5mm change in total left-right distance
For me there was no need for any bearings, spacers or washers.
I’ve been using the Rizer with my Neo 2 for almost a year. No issues at all and it’s not damaged the frame.
By all means take precautions but in my opinion it’s not necessary.

Hi Peter,
I am interested in a set of end caps for the Neo2T. I already have the needing bearings and have been playing around with them.
Please DM me.

To Dave and All, I have reached out to my Machinist and will quote you for a set with the bearings as soon as I hear back from him. If I can order several sets at a time I can get the price down for everyone.

sounds great, staying tuned… Thank you!
Ho Peter, i am interested too in your solution.
Thats a Greta idea.
Thank you
So I heard back from my Machinist. He basically said that up to four sets of axle caps will be $300 each. If I can get six people to order it would be $250. Unfortunately he said that is the best price as he is machining each one individually. If I ordered 50 or more it would be significantly less but I just don’t think the demand is there at this point.
ugh, staying with my $2 PTFE discs then - that’s too steep… thanks anyways!

I really think the way to make this cost effective is to start with the off-the-shelf Tacx axle adaptors and machine off part of them so they sit slightly deeper on the trainer, to accommodate the extra thickness of thrust washers placed between them and the frame dropouts. A buddy of mine with a lathe could do one in a matter of minutes. It’s the scratch building that’s laborious - I can see why the quote’s coming back at $250-300.
I haven’t used a “climb” type accessory but when they came out, I went to my pain cave, lifted the front end of my bike up and noted that it EASILY pivoted around the rear axle on my NEO2T - no indication the trainer was lifting up and no creaking or grinding noises. Hardly scientific but it makes me wonder just how necessary thrust washers are. Maybe over time, repeated pivoting would wear out the dropouts? Over-stress the chain-stays? I’m not sure I’d risk it on a bike I had intentions of using outdoors again.
Have you had any problems with this? I don’t really understand the level of concern if one has a dedicated bike on the trainer. It seems to rotate freely in a way that seems unlikely to cause any damage.
According to the GP Lama review, it looks like the Rizer is laggy with non-Elite devices. Do you find it is doing a good job with the Neo?
I guess if you’re really into your accuracy you could find a problem with the delay and percentage but in the main it works very well.
Still no concerns regards to frame damage, it’s not even removed the lacquer on top it’s the paint around the dropouts so I’ve absolutely no issues.
