4. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to assemble and set up your bicycle trainer stand:
- Unfold the Frame: Carefully unfold the trainer stand frame until it locks into its stable M-shape position.
- Adjust Foot Pads: Ensure the four anti-slip foot pads are properly adjusted to level the trainer on your floor. Rotate the caps to select the appropriate thickness for stability.
- Install Quick Release Skewer: Replace your bicycle's rear wheel skewer with the provided quick-release skewer. This ensures a secure fit in the trainer.
- Mount Bicycle:
- Position your bicycle's rear wheel axle into the clamps on the trainer stand.
- Tighten the clamps using the adjustment knobs on both sides until the bicycle is held firmly.
- Ensure the quick-release skewer is fully engaged and secured.

- Position Front Wheel Riser Block: Place the front wheel riser block under your bicycle's front wheel. The curved groove in the block helps align and stabilize the front wheel, ensuring a level riding position.
- Adjust Resistance Unit: Adjust the pressure regulating device to ensure the roller of the magnetic resistance unit makes firm contact with the rear tire. This contact should be sufficient to prevent slippage during pedaling.

5. Operating Instructions
Once the trainer is set up and your bicycle is securely mounted, you can begin your indoor cycling session.
- Start Cycling: Begin pedaling as you would on a regular bicycle. The magnetic resistance unit will provide a consistent workout.
- Adjust Resistance: The resistance level is primarily controlled by your bicycle's gears. Shift gears on your bike to increase or decrease the effort required.
- Maintain Stability: Always maintain a balanced posture while cycling. The M-shaped design of the stand provides enhanced stability.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your trainer stand.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the trainer frame and resistance unit with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and adjustment knobs to ensure they are tight and secure.
- Tire Condition: Ensure your bicycle tire is clean and free of debris before mounting it on the trainer to prevent excessive wear on the roller. Consider using a dedicated trainer tire for reduced noise and extended tire life.
- Storage: When not in use, the trainer can be folded for convenient storage. Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.

7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your bicycle trainer stand.
- Excessive Noise:
- Cause: The primary source of noise often comes from the bicycle tire rubbing against the resistance roller. Knobby mountain bike tires can be particularly noisy.
- Solution: Use a smooth road bike tire or a dedicated trainer tire. Ensure the tire pressure is adequate. Placing the trainer on a mat can also help absorb vibrations and reduce noise.

- Bicycle Slipping on Roller:
- Cause: Insufficient pressure between the tire and the resistance roller.
- Solution: Ensure the pressure regulating device is tightened sufficiently so the roller makes firm contact with the tire. Check tire pressure.
- Trainer Instability:
- Cause: Uneven floor surface or improperly adjusted foot pads.
- Solution: Adjust the rotating foot pads to compensate for uneven surfaces and ensure the trainer is level and stable.
