If you encounter issues with your ThinkRider XX Pro, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Connectivity Issues (Bluetooth/ANT+): Ensure Bluetooth or ANT+ is enabled on your device. Move closer to the trainer to improve signal strength. Close and reopen the cycling application. Disconnect and reconnect the trainer within the app. Ensure no other devices are interfering with the signal.
• Unusual Noises: Check that your bicycle is securely mounted and that the chain is properly aligned on the cassette. Inspect for any loose parts or foreign objects.
