1. Step 1: Assemble the Base. Attach the vertical support pole to the main base frame. Ensure all bolts are tightened securely. Adjust the V-shaped brackets on the base to accommodate your bike's rear wheel width, ensuring stable support.
2. Step 2: Place Rear Wheel. Carefully roll the rear wheel of your bicycle into the adjusted V-shaped brackets on the base. Ensure the wheel is seated firmly.
3. Step 3: Lift Front Wheel. While holding the bike's frame, lift the front wheel of the bicycle upwards, pivoting on the rear wheel. Guide the front wheel into the upper V-shaped bracket on the vertical support pole. Adjust the height of the vertical support pole as needed to securely hold the front wheel.
4. Step 4: Secure Bike. Use the provided Velcro straps to further stabilize the front wheel and the bike's seatpost to their respective support points. This ensures the bike remains firmly in place and prevents accidental movement.

The freestanding design means no drilling or wall damage is required, making setup quick and easy.

Operation

Placing and Removing Your Bicycle

To place your bike, ensure the stand is stable and casters are locked. Roll the rear wheel into the lower V-shaped bracket. Lift the front wheel and guide it into the upper V-shaped bracket. Secure both the front wheel and seatpost with the Velcro straps. To remove, unfasten the straps, gently lower the front wheel, and roll the bike away from the stand.

Adjusting Height and Width

The vertical support pole's height can be freely adjusted to accommodate different bike sizes (24"-29" wheels). Loosen the adjustment knob on the pole, slide it to the desired height, and tighten the knob firmly. The V-shaped brackets on the base can also be adjusted to fit tire widths up to 4 inches.
