No, I wouldn't. I was on my fourth ride ever and it just quit on me while using Zwift. The resistance just totally shut off. Now I'm spending my afternoon looking for a fix instead of riding.

I use an android phone with Bluetooth to connect to the trainer and my phone connects to my pc by Bluetooth. Does anyone know what may be causing the trainer to shut down?

Does the Derito have a built in cadence sensor or do you need to add your own?

Are you connecting via Bluetooth or ANT+?

If you can use Ant+...much more stable and painless.

I will do that on my next ride. Do I need to do anything to the direto to get cadence other than pair it with swift?

If your using an ant+ dongle, once Zwift opens to the connect screen, searching for each function, cadence, power etc.
Use the search button on each. You'll want to select the one that says Elite FEC then some numbers.
The Elite is your brand of trainer.
The FEC is the type of connection, ant+
The numbers are from your individual ant+.
I was just using bluetooth and would lose the resistance function. Hopefully this solves it for you and me.

Wondering if anybody here has noticed some play in the free hub?

Found a video of it here.


I have noticed the same on mine. Doesn’t seem right. I’m going to check today to see if there’s something I need to do to tighten it in place.

Their manual shows this in relation to installing a campagnola free hub so maybe I just need to “pop” it in place.

Oddly enough I noticed mine was doing that a few weeks ago. I don't remember it being like that originally but maybe it was. I had a brief look at it but couldn't obviously see a way to prevent it.

Thanks for the reply. It seems weird to me. I have my 10 speed bike on there and in non-erg mode I have shifting issues. I’m suspicious that is the cause

Could well be. Have you had the unit a while? I've had mine a year pretty much with around 10hrs a weeks use.

I've had a dedicated old frame on it for most of that time so never noticed until I took it off for a bit of maintenance.

I’ve only had it a couple weeks. But I noticed some shifting issues early on when I was doing non-erg mode workouts.

okay. I figured it out and luckily it makes sense. I removed the cassette and the it's just that the locknut/bolt needs tightening. you just need to insert a hex wrench to tighten it. after that it's fine.

Anybody still having problems with Zwift making their Direto's resistance constantly fluctuate 10 to 20 watts on level ground?. Did Zwift fix this or is there some other fix?

I've not had any power fluctuations on level terrain. Have you utilized the power smoothing feature?

Are you using Bluetooth or ant+ to connect? I've stopped using Bluetooth and it seemed to resolve my issues so far. Hopefully Elite/Zwift will recognize this issue and find a fix for it.

I'm using ant+ and am having wild fluctuations with the cadence. Anyone know of a fix?
