Once the rollers are positionedproperly, tighten the M5 bolts securely.Adjust Roller Tension and Resistance4. Once both rollers are aligned with the rim, engage both rollers and make sure the drive roller firmlycontacts the rim. If it does not, loosen the left side axle support cup and tighten the right sideaxle support cup an equal amount to move the rim closer to the drive roller. The rollers need toprovide enough pressure against the rim to prevent the rear wheel from slipping while in use.5. The Rim Drive Mag resistance unit offers seven resistance settings to vary the intensity ofyour workout. As the resistance adjustment lever (J) is moved from “L” to “H”, the resistancelevel will increase. See Figure 3. Middle range settings simulate level road conditions,lower settings are useful for warm-ups or high cadence training, and the higher settingsapproximate hill climbing conditions.Tip: To make your indoor workout as quiet as possible, set the trainer on a small section of carpet.JFig. 2LV.
