Frequently Asked Questions
Which trainers is this freehub body compatible with?
This T2805.51 freehub body fits Tacx Neo (T2800), Neo 2 (T2850/T2850.60), Flux (T2900), Flux S (T2900S/T2900S.60) and Flux 2 (T2980/T2980.60) pre-2020 trainer variants. It is not compatible with later 'A' or 2T variants—those require part 891051.
Will this accept Shimano or SRAM cassettes?
No — this freehub body uses the Campagnolo spline pattern. If you run Shimano/SRAM cassettes you’ll need the Tacx freehub body version made for Shimano/SRAM splines or an appropriate cassette/hub adapter.
Does the replacement include bearings, spacers or the cassette?
The unit is sold as the freehub body assembly. It includes the hub interface and its internal seals/bearings as assembled by the factory, but it does not include a cassette or trainer axle. Confirm contents on your product page or contact Forest Bikes if you need verification prior to purchase.
How difficult is installation and what tools are required?
Installation is a moderate DIY job for a competent mechanic—expect to use basic hex keys and possibly a torque tool. You’ll need to remove the trainer’s axle or end-cap, slide out the old freehub, and fit the replacement. If you’re not comfortable with trainer teardown, we recommend professional installation.
How do I know if I need this part?
Replace the freehub body if you experience cassette movement under load, noisy or gritty engagement, slipping during hard intervals, or visible spline wear. Regular indoor use can accelerate wear due to sustained torque and sweat exposure.
Is this covered by warranty?
Warranty coverage is provided under the manufacturer’s terms (Garmin/Tacx). Coverage depends on purchase date and the trainer’s warranty status—contact Forest Bikes or Garmin support with your trainer serial number for warranty assistance.
Buying Guide
When buying a Tacx direct-drive freehub body, the most important factor is spline compatibility: Campagnolo, Shimano or SRAM. Confirm your trainer’s model and variant number against the part number (T2805.51 for pre-2020 Campagnolo units) to avoid a mismatched purchase. Also check whether the unit is sold as an assembly or requires additional bearings or hardware. Replace your freehub body when you notice play, skipping, or noisy engagement under load. OEM Tacx/Garmin parts preserve factory tolerances and sensor alignment, making them the safest choice for restoring trainer performance and extending the life of your smart trainer.
