and that nothing is still moving.

Set the remote shifter lever at “H” position.  Remove the remote shifter 

device from the handlebar and straighten the cable.

Remove the plastic Cap located on the bottom of the cable. (see Fig. O)

the wire tension properly.

ABOUT SLIPPAGE PROBLEM

The pateneted roller system used in the rim drive models from Minoura is made to fit a wide variety of bi

-

cycles and wheels. Therefore, you should expect that sometimes the rollers will slip a little on your rims. This 

is completely normal and due to the spring mechanism we use that provides a fit with such a large variety of 

bicycles and wheels.

If you experience slippage all the time you use the trainer, check the belt tension first by pushing down the belt 

with your finger.  The K-16 V-belt will be worn down after long term of use but most reason for the slippage 

problem is caused by improper (too much or too less) tension adjustment.

To adjust the belt tension, loosen both upper and lower bolts which hold the pulley arm by an M5 hex wrench, 

then pull the arm outward by your hand and tighten the bolts firmly again.

If the V-belt is completely worn down or damaged, replace it.

This work requieres high skill for disassembling and assembling the Mag unit.  If you don’t have confidence, 

please ask to the Minoura dealer where you purchased the trainer.

The instructions manual will come with the replacement V-belt kit, also you can download it from our web site

(http://www.minoura.jp).
