INSTRUCTIONS FOR V2-XL125RC & V2-XL150RC
3/19
PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ROLLER SKIING
SAFETY:
Like many sports, roller skiing can be dangerous. If you are new to the sport, we recommend that you seek
instruction from a qualified person.
Wear protective gear; helmet, gloves, knee and elbow pads etc. Ski in areas without traffic.
Read the Jenex E-book, “Steady and Confident” by Doug Garfield,
watch the video; “Becoming a Better Skier” by Zach Caldwell.
MAINTENANCE OF ROLLER SKIS:
Before every ski you should check to ensure that your equipment is in good
condition. Inspect the shafts for damage. Indentations or deep scrape marks in the bottom of the shaft or wheel forks
seriously increases the risk of the shaft or wheel fork breaking. If you are skiing with proper technique the shafts and
forks will not be damaged. Ensure proper tire inflation. If you have brakes or speed reducers make sure they are
functioning properly. Tighten loose parts, grease any metal on metal functions (such as speed reducer roller arms).
MOUNTING OF BINDINGS
: For precise mounting use the V2 drill jig specially made for V2 roller skis. (We have found
that the main reason some roller skis do not track properly is due to the fact that the binding screw holes were not
precisely drilled.) The holes should be drilled with a 5/ 32” (4mm) drill. Follow the binding manufacturer’s instructions
except for the drilled hole size. We recommend putting epoxy on all screws.
Experienced skiers usually have their own
ideas on where to mount bindings.
If you plan on installing a brake there must be a minimum clearance of
1.125“ (29 mm) between the back of the
boot and the end of the shaft. We recommend the bindings be mounted so the heel of the boot is about 1.5 to
2 inches from the end of the ski shaft.

* LARGER BOOTS WITH A LONGER BACK/HEEL EXTENSION MAY REQUIRE MORE DISTANCE AWAY FROM
THE BRAKE. CHECK WITH BOOT ON SHAFT/BINDING BEFORE DRILLING BINDING HOLES
REPLACING WHEELS:
To replace the wheels you need a 10mm open end or a socket wrench and a 5 mm Allen Hex
Key wrench. To replace a wheel, remove the bolt, nut and washers. Insert the new wheel in the forks, making sure that
the valve stem is pointing backward. Install the bolt, washers and nut. Tighten the rear wheels to about 50 in. lbs.
An instructional PDF for replacing tubes and tires on XL150 models is available. We also recommend using the V2
Tire Station. See our website for helpful video (XL150 VERSION ONLY)
INFLATING TIRES
: Use a mountain bike shock pump and inflate the tires to about 90 PSI for the W150, 85PSI for the
W125. When removing the pump, you will lose some air so inflate to about 3-5lb more to ensure inflation of
85psi/W125 and 90psi/W150 PSI while skiing.
Tire pressure should be checked before every roller ski session.
CLUTCH WHEEL
: The clutch is dependent on very high tensile forces in the bolt and we use a special high tensile
12-9 nut. The clutch itself will not slip, but the clutch assembly will rotate on the spacers if the bolt - nut are not very
tight. Before installing the clutch wheel clean the fork with a household cleaner such as Fantastic and wipe dry. Any
dirt between the wheel spacer and the fork can cause the wheel to slip. Apply a small amount of grease to the face of
the nut and torque the bolt and nut to between 120 to 140 in. lbs. Without grease on the face of the nut you will get an
erroneous torque reading. 120 in. lbs. on the wrench without lubricant can be less than 50 in. lbs. with a lubricated nut.
This would result in insufficient force between the spacers and the clutch wheel will slip.
CAUTION!!!!!!!!! Make sure
the valve stem is positioned so it cannot accidentally be caught in the wheel fork.
Make sure the valve stem on the
clutch wheel is pointing backwards.
If the valve stem is not pointing backwards it could get caught in the fork, causing
the wheel to stop suddenly.
We recommend that the clutch wheel be inflated to between 80 and 95 PSI.
