4. Mount a suitable cassette to the freehub body.
Note: The Revbox Erg has been designed with a Shimano 10 speed freehub body, for a 10 speed
cassette, which will work perfectly with both 10 and 11 speed Shimano, Sram and Campagnolo
drivetrains. For best results with any 11 speed drivetrain please use a 10 speed Miche Primato
Cassette, and fit a 0.7mm cassette spacer between the largest and second largest sprocket.
5. Fit the long quick release skewer to the trainer through the cassette/freehub axle. (remove this
whenever returning trainer into the soft carry bag).
6. Mount your bike to the Revbox Erg unit: Remove the rear wheel from your bikeand place
dropouts and chain over the cassette/freehub of the trainer. Securely tighten the quick release
skewer. (This is usually easiest achieved with the gears set in the smallest sprockets).
7. Adjust the rear foot of the Revbox so it sits flush against the floor – this is most accurately
achieved with a rider on the bike.
8. Get started!

Training
This part is up to you but to get most of your training, for some ideas on training sessions see:
www.revbox.co.nz/training.
Note: The Revbox Erg is NOT designed as just a winter trainer. To experience the maximum bene-
fits from the Revbox Erg it’s highly recommend using it for regular training sessions all year round.
Maintenance
While the Revbox is largely maintenance free, there are a couple of small things you can do that
will greatly enhance the longevity of your unit.
1. After approximately two weeks use, please check and tighten all the bolts on the unit – they
should be tightened to 8Nm.
2. Periodically check that the chain on the Revbox unit is tight, we recommend checking every 6
hours use, especially in the first month. The chain should have no more or less than 7-10mm
slack where it first comes into contact with the top of the chainring. If there is more movement
than this, please adjust the chain tension as follows:
a). Loosen the 2 bolts
(See Image 3 and 4)
at the centre of the main fan panels
b). Pull the fan with a 5mm allen key on both sides
(See Image 5
) back until the chain is suitably
tight
c). Re-tighten the bolts to 14Nm, starting with the driveside bolt, making sure that the fan remains
straight – the fan blades should not be within 5mm of hitting the chain in any part of the fan’s revo-
lution.
3. The lube on the chain from new will last for a long time, but when it eventually becomes time to
re-lube please only use a silicone lubricant. (This can also be applied to the cassette if required).
