1. Attach Support Legs: Securely attach the two support legs to the main unit using the provided screws and hex key. Ensure the longer side of the support leg is on the drive side (freehub side).
2. Install Cassette: If your trainer does not have a pre-installed cassette, carefully align the widest notch on the freehub with the widest step on your cassette. Install all cassette pieces, ensuring the raised part of loose pieces faces the cassette. Tighten the cassette with a cassette wrench and cassette sleeve to a torque of 40Nm.
3. Install Adapter Seats: The trainer comes with a thru-axle drive-side adapter seat pre-installed. For thru-axle frames, ensure the correct 142mm or 148mm adapter is installed on the non-drive side. For quick-release bikes, remove the pre-installed thru-axle adapter using the open-end wrench and install the quick-release adapter seat.

4.2 Mounting Your Bicycle

Once the trainer is assembled and the correct adapter seats are in place, you can mount your bicycle. For ease of installation, it is recommended to shift your bike's cassette to the smallest cog before mounting.

1. Remove Rear Wheel: Remove your bicycle's rear wheel.
2. Position Chain: Gently place the bike chain onto the smallest cog of the trainer's cassette.
3. Mount Frame: Carefully lower your bicycle frame onto the trainer, aligning the dropouts with the trainer's axle.
4. Secure Axle: For thru-axle frames, insert and tighten your bike's thru-axle. For quick-release frames, insert the quick-release lever and tighten it securely.
