- The cycling trainer has a freehub that supports standard Shimano and SRAM 8-11 speed cassettes.
- Install your bike onto the trainer, similar to installing a rear wheel on a bicycle.
- The installation method for Q.R./Thru Axle converters is illustrated in the diagrams.
- Ensure your bike is securely LOCKED to the trainer to prevent it from coming loose and causing harm.
Top View Diagram Description: The diagram shows two configurations for attaching the bike's rear axle. The left side shows a 'Quick release' mechanism suitable for 130mm and 135mm spacing, with a note to 'Rotate 180°'. The right side shows a 'Thru axle (Optional)' mechanism suitable for 142mm and 148mm spacing, also with a 'Rotate 180°' instruction.
Important Reminder: Make sure your bike is LOCKED.
5. Special Reminders
- The ThinkRider A1 is a direct-drive trainer functioning as a pure power meter. When using cycling software (e.g., Zwift, Powerfun App), select the 'power meter' or 'power equipment' connection option on the device connection page. Do not choose 'Smart trainer' options.
- The A1 trainer does not require calibration.
- Trainer A1 Firmware Upgrade Tool:
- For iPhone: Download the app from the App Store: Thinkrider tools
- For Android: Download the app from Google Play: Thinkrider tools
- If the belt slips, it should be tightened according to the provided videos. (The belt is a consumable item; replacement once a year is recommended.)
- Pay attention when installing the horizontal bracket, as there are differences between the front, back, left, and right sides.
