Zwift ride assembly issues - non drive side

Thought I was technically competent, but the first time i attempted to set up my new Zwift ride, it went badly wrong. I now have a replacement Zwift Cog 2.

One thing I can’t work out from the various videos is if there is any sort of insert required for the non-drive side. On the drive side, am I correct in assuming that the thru axle just goes into the locking nut of the Cog 2, with nothing else required?

Or does the through axle just go straight into the Zwift ride frame on this side? as in this photo:

Also, what are the settings on the Cog 2 for? Chain alignment so it doesn’t rub?

You need both 142mm thru axle adapters.

Thanks!

These ones? (They didn’t come with my Zwift ride, they came with the Zwift Hub One last year)

And I guess if I put the green side on the inside, that’s 142 not 148?

Short bit sticking out for 142mm so yeah I think you’re right.

To answer your other question, yes the settings on the cog2 are for fine tuning the alignment - so you don’t have to mess with your rear derailleur

Although on my bike (and the cog1) there are 2 gears at the back that will run smoothly through the cog without making any noise anyway.

Hi @James_Cavell_Amsterd thanks for bringing your concerns to our forums! This is Alejandro, from Zwift.

As @Jurgen_Grusdat mentioned, you’ll need both the Green/Black non-drive side adapter and the drive side adapter in this case. Since you’re trying to mount your Zwift Ride on the Zwift Hub, you’ll need to insert first the non-drive side adapter, with the black side perceptible to the eye by following this article. Then, the drive side adapter (the silver one) will need to be inserted on your Zwift Cog’s face like in this video.
