RATTLING HANDLEBARS

/

SEAT TOWER

Make sure pop pin is correctly locked into place.

SADDLE DISCOMFORT

Check to ensure the saddle is centered and level. Adjust as neces-

sary. Bear in mind that it does take time for the body to adjust to the

saddle. A gel cushioned seat cover or padded cycling shorts can

make your ride more comfortable. 

ROUGH

,

DRY FEELING WHEN INCREASING RESISTANCE

Put a few drops of oil underneath the resistance knob and let it

run down to the resistance shaft thread barrel. This typically

makes the motion of adjustment feel smoother.

LUBRICATING THE CHAIN

During heavy use of your Spinner® Velo XT, it may become necessary to 
lubricate your chain to reduce chain associated noises. If you have any questions
regarding lubricating your chain, please contact Star Trac customer service at
(800) 503-1221 for consultation prior to lubricating the chain.

1

Locate the flywheel adjustment cover on the front right side of 
your Spinner Velo XT.  

2

Using a flat head screwdriver, gently pop out the flywheel 
adjustment cover from the chain guard. This will expose a 
small section of the chain.

3

Use a chain lube such as Tri-Flo® or other oil based lubricant 
with a spray nozzle. DO NOT use a wax based lubricant.

4

When spraying the lubricant onto the chain, cover the floor 
under the bike and take care not to allow the lubricant to drip 
onto the floor.

5

Lock the brake by turning the Push Brake System knob 
clockwise. With the brake locked up, spray the lube onto the 
chain. Loosen the brake and rotate the chain carefully, and 
slowly by hand approximately a quarter turn, then stop it and 
tighten the brake again and spray lube onto the next portion 
of the chain.  Repeat the above steps a total of 6 times to 
lubricate the entire chain.  

6

Carefully replace the flywheel adjustment cover. Your Spinner 
Velo XT is now ready for testing.
