Saris H3: Common Issues
What goes wrong with the Saris H3 Direct Drive Turbo Trainer?
Top Hat Issue
Overtightening of the axle end caps can cause the top hat spacer to snap and crumble (like the image below).
The top hat sits behind the Freehub. There is no torque spec for the end cap. It should be hand tightened. If your top hat has snapped/crumbled then this can be replaced, we stock these to sell - link here
