DJUSTMENT 

 

The chain on your bike has been factory set and lubricated. It should not require adjustment initially. Over time, however, you may need to adjust the 
tension. 

 
CAUTION: 

Improper chain adjustment will cause premature wear and may void the warranty. 

 
To adjust chain on Spinner

®

 Pro / Elite / NXT: 

 

1. Using a small screw driver, pry off the Flywheel Axle nut Access Cap.  
 
2. Using a 18mm socket and socket wrench, loosen the axle nuts on both 
sides of the flywheel.

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Using a 10mm open end wrench, loosen the lock nuts on the chain 
adjustment screws. 
 
4. To tighten the chain, turn the adjustment screw in a clockwise rotation 
equally on both sides using the 10mm open end wrench. 
 
5. To loosen the chain, turn the adjustment screws on both sides counter-
clockwise using a 10mm open end wrench. 
 
6.  While adjusting the chain tension, work on both sides of the flywheel.  
Adjust the angle of the flywheel so it is straight front to rear and evenly 
spaced within the frame side to side.  
 
7.  Align the chain so it runs straight on both of the sprockets. 
 
 
8.  Adjust the angle of the flywheel by adjusting the adjustment screws 
on both sides of the flywheel.  Test by slowly rotating the pedals. 
 

Note:

  

 

If the chain is stretched beyond adjustment, the replacement 
of the chain is recommended.  Proceed to “Chain 
Replacement” for further instructions. 

 

When alignment is at the optimal adjustment, the chain will 
run smoother and quieter. 

9.  Tighten the adjustment lock nuts and axle  nuts on both sides. 
 
10.  Install the chain guard shroud and re-test the bike.
