Brake Pad Adjustment
This procedure provides instruction to adjust the Magnetic Brake Pads.
The brake pad-flywheel gap must be correctly set to insure proper resistance level, AutoCal,
and power measurement (watts).
Perform the brake pad adjustment any time the brake pads are replaced or any condition
were the resistance is not performing correctly or the power measurement is not being cor-
rectly computed.
Strong magnetic force
The brake pads have a very strong magnetic force and attraction to the flywheel or any fer-
romagnetic metal object. . The brake pads can easily be ripped from your grasp and snap
against the metal object damaging the pad. Be very careful to hold the brake pads tightly
when in close proximity to the flywheel during the brake pad removal and installation pro-
cedures.
CAUTION
: The magnetic force of the brake pad is very strong and when in close
proximity to the flywheel (or any metal object) will quickly snap the pad against the
flywheel (or other metal) object causing damage to the brake pad magnets. Firmly
hold the magnetic brake pads during removal/installation procedures to avoid
damaging the brake pads.

Procedure
Review entire procedure before starting.
1. Loosen the resistance knob enough to allow the installation of the magnetic gap fix-
ture tool.
2. Mount a magnetic gap fixture (2x) onto both the left and right brake pads. Slip the
back of the magnetic gap fixture into the gap between the brake magnetic pad and the
