Bike stay rubbing on trainer case?

I have a NEO 2T mated to a 2006 Specialized Roubaix that has a 9 speed cassette.  Based on Tacx videos posted online and feedback from my LBS, I used two thin spacers to help ensure that the cassette is installed properly and doesn't slip.  I noticed, however, that the stay on the non-chain side rests against the trainer case (see image).  This doesn't appear to affect the functioning of the trainer, but I can see where it's rubbing against the case.

Is this normal; or is there are there's I should make to this setup to mitigate the issue?

thanks,

 Randy

    Hey Randy.

    I’m learning myself that bike frame fit issues are the Achilles Heel of the NEO design. Fortunately, most of them seem solvable. 

    On my bike, I had to install a 2.7mm silver spacer behind the non-drive-side (NDS) axle adaptor. This pushes the chainstay just far enough out to clear the trainer. More on that here: https://tacxfaqx.com/knowledge-base/neo-disc-brake-spacer/

    On the drive-side (DS) or “chain side” as you call it, I had to install both a 1mm and 0.5mm spacer to ensure derailleur clearance with my 11-speed cassette but I suspect that isn’t a problem with a 9-speed cassette.

    Hi,

      Thanks for the response and the link to the article about the spacer...that looks like it may do the trick.

        Best,
