Adjusting Cradle Width & Angle
How To Mount Bike
To mount a bike on the cradle, place the top-tube on the
hooks.
Usually, you hold the top-tube by both hooks, but if the
bike frame design is specially sloping, you should set the
rear side hook under the seat-tube to keep the bike from
sliding off. (see Fig. AA)
!
Setting the front end to higher than the rear
of the bike may cause the wheel to turn
and possibly chip or damage the frame.
Minoura recommends keeping the front end
lower if possible or using a strap to secure
the front wheel to the frame or stand to
avoid such accidents.
!
The hook material may stain on your bike
frame.
We recommend placing a piece of bar-
tape between the hook and the frame or
wrapping the hook with bandage in order
to avoid contact with each piece.
Take the bike off the cradle.
Loosen the bolt and slide the hook to adjust the position.
You should set the hooks symmetrically to maintain
maximum bike stability.
How To Slide Cradle Hook
How To Adjust Cradle Angle
Insert the 5mm hex wrench into both
the right side and the left side holes on
the Cradle Cap, and loosen the inside
bolts slightly (do not remove). (Fig. Z)
The bike cradle's hook span and arm bar angle are
adjustable in order to fit to various types of bike frame in
order to hold them as horizontal and stable as possible.
Now the cradle is ready to adjust the angle.
After adjustment, tighten both bolts firmly to fix the
position.

!
Do NOT try to adjust the hook while the
bike is in the cradle. Doing so may cause
the bike to fall off the stand.
