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

If you have a Saris H3, then you will have a smooth belt. The Saris product code is: SAR9734T. Please see link below
