Installation and Setup
Instructions stated in this manual must be performed during initial installation of the Indoor Cycle to ensure optimal performance and a long lifespan. Read and follow the following instructions carefully. If the Indoor Cycles are not installed and configured as described, the components may be subjected to excessive wear and tear and the bike may become damaged.
Note: Lubricants are required for some
maintenance procedures.
Only use an acid-free and solvent-free spray lubricant and white lithium grease.
- Make sure the bike is level. If bike rocks on the floor, turn the leveling feet underneath the front and / or rear stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated. Make sure that the leveling feet are not screwed out further than 0.4" (10 mm).
- Verify emergency brake function to make sure that it is working properly.
- Check that both crank arm Allen bolts, with which the cranks (on the right and left side of the bottom bracket) are fastened, and secure (tightening torque 44 ft. lb. (60 Nm)). These bolts are provided with TufLok at the factory to prevent them from becoming loose during use. If the bolts become loose, we recommend applying medium-strength Loctite® #243 and then reattaching the crank fixing bolts with a tightening torque of 44 ft. lb. (60 Nm).
- Wipe down bike frame with a rag moistened with acid-free and solvent-free spray lubricant.
- Some parts of the bike may become loose during shipment. Check crank arms and all exposed bolts and nuts, and make sure that they are all secure and properly tightened.
