3.1 Trainer Assembly

1. Install Legs: Each support leg has two ends of different lengths. When installing, ensure the longer end of each leg faces the hub side to ensure proper balance. Use the alignment slot on the tray to position it correctly.

   

2. Match Screw Holes: Align the main unit's end openings with the central screw holes of the legs.

   

3. Tighten Screws: Secure the legs with screws, remembering to add washers during installation to prevent loosening.

   

4. Adjust Footpad: Adjust the footpad height to balance and stabilize the trainer. Ensure the R200 is firmly stable before riding.

   

3.2 Cassette Mounting

The R200 supports different cassette types. Ensure you use the correct hub and spacers.

1. Shimano 11/12-speed & SRAM 11-speed cassettes: Install the cassette directly onto the default HG hub.
2. 8/9/10-speed cassettes: Install the provided cassette spacer (with notch outward) before installing the cassette onto the HG hub.
3. SRAM 12-speed cassettes: An XDR freehub (sold separately) is required. Replace the default HG hub with the XDR freehub before installing the SRAM 12-speed cassette.

Tip:

• Use cassette tools to firmly lock the cassette after it's fully seated.

3.3 Precautions and Disclaimer for Bike Installation

1. Identify your bike's frame type (thru-axle or quick release) before installation. Refer to the relevant sections below for specific instructions.
2. For hydraulic disc brakes, insert the provided pad spacer between the brake pads after removing the rear wheel. This prevents the caliper from closing accidentally. If the included spacer is incompatible, use your own.

   

3. Ensure that brake pads, cables, and the bike frame do not touch the trainer housing. If contact occurs, stop immediately and do not proceed, as forcing installation may damage your bike or its components.
4. Read this manual carefully and follow all installation steps. If unsure, contact steven@cycplus.com for support. CYCPLUS is not responsible for damage or loss caused by incorrect installation, incompatible bike frames, or forced installation.

3.4 For Bikes with Rear Thru-Axles

1. Install Thru-axle Adapter-R: Install the Thru-axle Adapter-R (09) using the 17mm wrench (07). The R200 comes preinstalled with a thru-axle adapter and 2 spacers.

   

2. Install Thru-axle Adapter-L: Install the Thru-axle Adapter-L (10). Ensure correct orientation for mountain bikes (148mm outwards) or road bikes (142mm outwards).

   

3. Adjust Shifter and Install Frame: Adjust the bike's shifter until the chain is on the smallest sprockets of both the chainwheel and cassette. Align the bicycle chain with the minimum sprocket of the cassette and install the frame onto the bike trainer.

   

4. Secure Bike: Secure the bike with its thru-axle.
5. Shake Frame Warning: After installation, gently shake the bike frame to ensure it is securely fastened to the R200. Failure to properly secure the bike can result in serious property damage and personal injury. Never adjust the thru-axle while someone is sitting on the bike. Some bike frames may be incompatible; stop installation if any abnormalities occur.

3.5 For Bikes with Quick Release Skewers

1. Install Quick Release Adapter-R: Install the Quick Release Adapter-R (11) using the 5mm Allen key (08). The R200 comes preinstalled with a thru-axle adapter; remove it before quick release installation and confirm 2 spacers are installed.

   

2. Install Quick Release Adapter-L: Install the Quick Release Adapter-L (12). Ensure correct orientation for mountain bikes & road bikes with disc brakes (135mm outwards) or road bikes with rim brakes (130mm outwards).

   

3. Insert Quick Release Skewer and Install Frame: Insert the quick release skewer into the axle of the R200 and install the nut, but do not tighten it yet. Adjust the bike's shifter until the chain is on the smallest sprockets of both the chainwheel and cassette. Align the bicycle chain with the minimum sprocket of the cassette and mount the frame to the R200.

   

4. Adjust Lock Nut and Secure Skewer: Adjust the lock nut of the quick release skewer. Lift and press the handle frequently until the pressing resistance is appropriate, then press the handle to secure the skewer.
5. Shake Frame Warning: After installation, gently shake the bike frame to ensure it is securely fastened to the R200. Failure to properly secure the bike can result in serious property damage and personal injury. Never adjust the quick release skewer while someone is sitting on the bike. Some bike frames may be incompatible; stop installation if any abnormalities occur.

4. Operation

4.1 Power Connection

Only use the AC adapter that comes with the R200 to power the device. The AC cable can be replaced if necessary.

4.2 Working Modes Comparison

The R200 supports two working modes: Unplugged Mode and Plug-in Mode. Plug-in mode is recommended for optimal performance, especially for high-intensity riders to aid heat dissipation.

4.3 Indicator

The indicator light on the R200 shows its operational status:

• Flashing blue: BLE not connected.
• Solid blue: BLE connected.
• Flashing red: Overheating protection activated. Stop riding or reduce intensity. If the indicator does not return to normal, contact customer service.
• Solid red: Fault detected. Stop riding and contact customer service.

4.4 Application (CYCPLUS App)

1. Download the App: Download the "CYCPLUS" App from the App Store or Google Play to access settings and firmware updates.
2. No Calibration Needed: The R200 is a direct-drive trainer and does not require calibration.
3. Connecting via BLE or ANT+: The R200 supports both BLE and ANT+. For a more stable connection, BLE is recommended. For ANT+, place the receiver close to the R200's indicator.

   

   Important:

   • Only one cycling app can be connected at a time. Do not use a bike computer while connected to an app on your phone or computer.
4. Troubleshooting (Can't find the trainer):
   1. Unplug the trainer for 5 minutes.
   2. Open the CYCPLUS app, go to settings, and disconnect any devices.

   Reminder:

   • If the trainer stays connected to other devices, close all cycling apps and remove the trainer (R200 XXXXX) from your paired BLE devices.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Spacers for Noise and Friction

The R200 includes various spacers to help optimize performance and prevent issues like chain noise or disc brake friction. These adjustments are typically made during initial setup or if issues arise.

1. Cassette Adjustment Spacer (for loud chain noise): If chain noise is excessive, it may be due to a difference in distance between the R200 cassette and the rear fork (A) compared to your original cassette and rear fork (B). Two spacers are pre-installed between the cassette and the Thru-axle adapter-R or Quick release adapter-R.
   • If A < B: Add more cassette adjustment spacers to the R200. Each spacer is approximately 0.4mm thick.
   • If A > B: Remove some spacers to reduce the distance.
   • If issues persist after adjusting all spacers, contact customer service.
2. Disc Brake Spacer (for friction): If friction occurs between your bike's disc brake and the R200 housing, use disc brake spacers to increase the distance and avoid friction during training. This typically occurs with SRAM 140mm disc brakes.

For more detailed official videos on spacer adjustments, visit the CYCPLUS YouTube channel or contact customer service.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your CYCPLUS R200 Smart Bike Trainer, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Trainer Not Found by App:
  1. Unplug the trainer for 5 minutes.
  2. Open the CYCPLUS app, navigate to settings, and disconnect any previously paired devices.
  3. If the trainer remains connected to other devices, close all cycling apps and remove the trainer (e.g., "R200 XXXXX") from your paired BLE devices.
• Overheating Protection: If the indicator light is flashing red, the trainer has activated overheating protection. Stop riding or reduce your power output. If the light does not return to normal (solid blue), contact customer service.
• Fault Detected: If the indicator light is solid red, a fault has been detected. Stop riding immediately and contact customer service.
• Chain Noise: Refer to Section 5.1 on "Cassette Adjustment Spacer" to address loud chain noise by adjusting or adding spacers.
• Disc Brake Friction: Refer to Section 5.1 on "Disc Brake Spacer" to resolve friction between your bike's disc brake and the trainer housing.
• Unstable Trainer: Ensure the footpads are properly adjusted and locked to provide a stable base for the trainer (refer to Section 3.1, Step 4).
