Check that vid and if you want one I'll get 1 for you at cost, Halfords are going to sell it here in UK.

I already have a bike stand from Lidl. Cost me less than £50 I think. I bought it like 6-7 years ago.

Yeah I have a stand also. Like his thing as it just folds out of the way.

Yes, but I like that the bike is held steady. I use it when cleaning bike/chain and all other sorts of maintenance.

It has a locking pin also for when you don't want movement!

LOL. But you will still need the tools to change cassette/chain on the bike(s). One visit saved to the LBS will pay for the basic tools.

If I buy an 11 speed 105 cassette does the trainer come with tools to install?

Yes it is an adapter for the thru axles. It’s very easy to set up. And just a few minutes to take the bike off and put the wheel back on.

???? What has mounting the cassette has to do with thru axle and (dis)mounting the bike from the trainer ????

I misread what he was asking. I though he was asking once the cassette was installed did you need tools to put the bike on the trainer.

Ok Does his bike have thru axle (disc wheel) or “Old School“ Quick release (rim brakes)?
If TA, he better check for compatability with the NEO beforehand. I think some frames and/or thru axles can cause problems with the NEO (and other trainers).

He has a beautiful Emonda SL7 disc with force etap. So thru axles I'm sure.

Force eTap != Ultegra. That one uses an XD-R body, not the standard Shimano/SRAM body supplied with the NEO.
Good luck fitting a 105 cassette to that.

If not Ultegra, as he stated, forget about all the tools I ”linked” to, as those are probably only suitable for 9-11 speed Shimano and SRAM non-XD(-R) groups.

 

[Randyberlin]

Oh I forgot. I think he mentioned when he got it that it has that new 10 tooth sprocket setup.
@shimceltic you might have to use your old bike with a new derailleur.

I've got a specialized tarmac with ultegra that I was gonna use on it. Haven't been on it since I got the trek. Was planning to use it as "winter bike" anyway.
