   The bike trainer is compatible with SHIMANO/SRAM card type flywheel with the speed of 8/9/10/11. A shown in Figure 4, if you use the 8/9/10-speed flywheel, a shim must be put on the hub before the flywheel is fitted. If you use an 11-speed flywheel, the flywheel can directly fit without installing the adjusting shim. After the flywheel is fitted, as shown in Figure 5, screw the flywheel nut, and fasten the nut with a special wrench for flywheel assembly.

If using a 135 bike frame, the bike frame conversion sleeve shall be firstly put in the left fixing joint of the quick release, then insert it into the main beam axle hole. If using 130 bike frame, the left fixing joint of the quick release can be directly inserted into the main beam axle hole without installing the bike frame conversion sleeve.

6. As shown in Figure 6, reinstall the spring and nut removed before to keep the quick release loose to install the bike.

Attention : While installing the quick release, the conical spring head of the quick release must be inward (facing the bike body)!

Step 5. Bike Installation

1. Firstly, confirm that the specifications of the rear wheel hub of the bike match the hub configuration of the bike trainer.

2. Adjust the gear of the bike to disassemble the rear wheel. Suggested chain position: the front derailleur is on the chain wheel, the rear derailleur is on the smallest free wheel tooth plate. Loosen the rear wheel quick release and remove the rear wheel.

After confirming alignment, press down the bike. The back fork of the bike is supported on the left and right axles of the bike trainer. To ensure that the back fork of the bike is fully supported on the bike trainer, the front wheel of the bike can be lifted off the ground and swing gently, and then put it down.

   One hand rotates the nut at the end of the quick release, the other hand presses the locking wrench of the quick release. As the pressure is appropriate, press the locking wrench of the quick release to the fully locked position.

   After the bike is installed, don’t rush to get on the bike for operation. Be sure to rotate the crank at a slow speed to drive the chain for trial operation and check for abnormal conditions. When running, if there are other abnormal noises besides chain driving sound, this means the bike is installed incorrectly. Please reinstall the bike according to the above method.

6. Position Adjustment of Bike:
   The bicycle platform is compatible with bikes of various specifications such as 20’’, 24’’, 26’’, 700C, 28’’ and 29’’. Because of the different wheel diameters of each type of bike, there will be position differences. It is necessary to adjust the opening angle of the movable support of the bike trainer to adjust the position of the bike according to your riding habits. Specific operation: Pull out and hold the adjusting knob (arrow A direction), rotate the movable support back and forth (arrow B, C direction). After the movable support reaches the appropriate angle, release the finger that holds the adjusting knob and swing the movable support back and forth slightly. The gears inside the adjusting knob are engaged with the sound of the click.
