3.
Next rotate the
roller adjustment knob
and associated lock ring counterclockwise so that the roller
assembly allows room for the rear tire to mount.
Figure 2.
Lift the bicycle into position so that the rear QR skewer is aligned with the right and left axle clamp cones.
See Figure 3.
a.
By turning both the
adjustment knob
and the
release clamp
clockwise, tighten the clamp cones until they
come into contact with the bicycle’s QR skewer ends.
Align the QR skewer with the notch in the clamp cone.
b.
Tighten the
adjustment knob
and
release clamp
until the bike is securely held in place and the bicycle’s
rear wheel is centered on the roller assembly.
Now while holding the bike frame in place test that the
release
clamp
can be opened and closed firmly.
The
release clamp
should close firmly by hand.
•
if the lever will not open or close, loosen the
adjustment knob
by rotating counterclockwise.
•
If the lever is too easy to open or close by hand, tighten the
adjustment knob
by rotating
clockwise.
c.
Rotate the
locking rings
clockwise until they are firm against the frame. Verify the bicycle is securely
mounted to the trainer.
5. Tighten the
roller adjustment knob
clockwise until the roller contacts the rear tire.
Then tighten the knob
an additional 1½ to 2 full turns.
The roller needs to provide only enough pressure to prevent the rear tire
from slipping while in use. Test tire friction by quickly moving the tire a 1/4 turn back and forth.
Apply
another 1/4 turn on roller adjustment knob if needed.
Allowing the tire to slip against the roller while riding
will accelerate tire wear. If you notice the tire slipping regularly during use, tighten the roller adjustment
knob by an additional ¼ turn as necessary to reduce slipping.
Do not over-tighten the roller adjustment knob.
Over-tightening will cause both tire and unit damage. Tighten only enough to avoid tire slippage. Use a smooth
tread tire at least 23mm in width and maintain the maximum recommended inflation pressure for your tire.
Once this is set properly tighten the lock ring to the frame.
Riser block.
Use the included riser block to raise the front of the bicycle by putting the riser block under the front wheel.
