4. Setup
Follow these steps to set up your Elite Qubo Power Fluid Classic Trainer and mount your bicycle:
- Unfold the Trainer: Carefully unfold the trainer frame until it locks into its open position. Ensure all legs are fully extended and stable.
- Install the Quick-Release Skewer: If your bike uses a standard quick-release skewer, replace it with the one provided by Elite. This ensures proper fit and security.
- Mount the Bicycle:
- Loosen the clamping mechanism on the trainer.
- Position your bicycle so that the rear wheel axle aligns with the trainer's clamping points.
- Engage the quick-release lever or tighten the bolts on the trainer to securely hold the bike's rear axle. Ensure the bike is centered and stable.
- The Elastogel roller should make firm contact with the rear tire. Adjust the tension knob to achieve optimal contact without excessive pressure.
- Place the Front Wheel Support: Position the included front wheel support block directly under your bicycle's front wheel to level the bike and prevent steering.

5. Operating Instructions
The Elite Qubo Power Fluid Classic Trainer offers a straightforward and effective indoor cycling experience.
- Fluid Resistance: The trainer's fluid resistance system automatically adjusts resistance based on your speed, mimicking real-world riding conditions. The faster you pedal, the higher the resistance.

- Smart Connectivity (Optional): To unlock smart features, you will need the optional Elite Misuro B+ Adapter (sold separately). Once installed, this adapter allows the trainer to communicate with cycling apps like My E-Training and other third-party software, providing data on speed, cadence, and power.
