As a matter of fact I did. 2.5mm of 19x25mm shims behind the 130/135mm adapter. The rear dropouts are about 133mm apart without a wheel/skewer installed. Shims were from eBay.

does anyone have a link for those shims? thanks

Hi all, I know this is an old thread, but I am having the exact same issue trying to put a Felt IA FRD onto a Kickr Core trainer.

Using those spacers, that will effectively spread the rear of the frame by 3mm, yes? Is that not dangerous to do to a carbon frame, risk of cracking?

Hello,
same problem here - I have wahoo kickr core (bought in 2020), Canyon ultimate CF SL 2020

the damage

the solution

it looks ok though - just the color went off

I strongly do not recommend using any additional spacer since I had problems with noises on high gears (did not know where did it come from) - the frame had to be stretched a little bit - I guess any kind of stretch in outside direction is harmfull for the frame and it messes with your geometry, gearing etc...

I used something similar to this on a driller - took a little time but heck... now everything is perfect! and by the way - those scratches are unnecessary, I just did not care much since the metal the wahoo is made of seems very solid
