2.
Put bike in position placing bike axle's quick-
release lever into the notch in Side A's cone cup
(Part K). If the notched cone cup does not fit
well for your particular bike, you can substitute
the small cone cup shown above (Part N).
Simply remove the Side A cone cup (Part K) by
unscrewing the screw inside the middle. Using
the same screw, screw on the small cone cup
(Part N).

CAUTION:
If you have flip-off skewers, use the skewer provided in the box that
came with your trainer. If you do want to use a flip-off skewer on your bike,
make sure that the lever remains parallel to the ground and that it is pointing to
the rear of the bike before you fit it into the left side cone cup (Part K).
(See
photo under #2 at left
for correct positioning).
4.
Holding the left side bike axle cone, turn the knob until the wheel is centered on
the resistance roller. Be sure the bike wheel is held in a vertical position while
making this adjustment.
5.
Lift the ”Quick Release” (Part O) on the right side
and push the right axle knob (Part H) in until the
right axle cone (Part L) contacts the bike axle. Then
lock the “Quick Release” (Part O). (See photos of
Part O at left).
6.
Adjust both axle knobs to ensure the bicycle wheel
is centered on resistance roller and then tighten
securely.
7.
Tighten the left side locking ring (Part J) to hold adjustment position. This allows
repeated mounting of your bike without readjusting this setting each time.
8.
Setting the tension of the resistance unit against a bike tire is user-controlled, by
adjusting the knob (Part E) as shown in photo 5 on page 2. Turn adjustment knob
(Part E) clockwise until roller touches the tire: then turn 2-5 additional turns to
increase pressure between tire and roller. It is critical to test the friction between
the tire and roller by grabbing the tire at top dead center. Then rotate tire toward
the rear of the bike about 1/4 turn and return to the starting position in one
continuous motion. If the tire slips or squeaks when you reverse the tire direction,
turn the adjustment knob (Part E) another 1/2 turn clockwise and repeat the test.
Over-tightening the Adjustment Knob (Part E) will not increase the resistance.
It is normal to hear short squeaks when rapidly accelerating the wheel speed.
9.
For BMX or track bikes with internally geared rear hubs, bikes with breezer
dropouts or bikes with larger diameter seat stays/chain stays, or rear axles without
a quick release skewer, it may be necessary to use the small cone cup (Part N).
bike removal
1.
Turn adjustment knob (Part E) counterclockwise until the resistance unit no
longer touches the tire.
2.
Reduce axle tension by turning the right axle knob (Part H) counterclockwise,
a minimum of two turns, to allow for disengagement of the “Quick Release.”
3.
While supporting the bike, disengage the “Quick Release” (see photos of [Part
O] at left) and slide the axle knob (Part H) to the fully open position. The bike
can now be removed from left cone cup.
1.
Adjust the left side axle cone (Part K) to the
fully open position by turning the left knob
(Part G) counterclockwise to allow initial
clearance for the bike wheel and axle.
3.
Lift the “Quick Release” (Part O) on the
right side and pull the axle knob (Part H) to
the fully open position for initial clearance.
