HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENTS
Proper position for the handlebar is based primarily on comfort. Typically, the handlebar
should be positioned slightly higher than the seat. All group cycles allow for
adjustment of handlebar height. Additionally, the V-bike
® Spinner® allows for fore and-
aft adjustment of the handlebar.
To adjust the handlebar height:
(V-bike® Spinner®) Loosen the handlebar height tension handle by turning the
handle counterclockwise. Raise or lower the handlebar to the desired height, then
tighten the tension handle by turning clockwise. Be sure to tighten firmly.
(Spinner® Pro/Elite/NXT) Turn the handlebar height pop-pin counterclockwise
and pull out on the pin to release it from its current preset location.
Raise or lower the handlebar to the desired height, then gently release the pop-pin.
Raise or lower the handlebar slightly, if necessary, until the pop-pin engages a preset
hole. Turn the pop-pin clockwise to secure.
To adjust the handlebar horizontal position:
NOTE: Handlebar horizontal adjustment is available on the V-bike® Spinner® only.
Loosen the handlebar fore-and-aft tension handle by turning the handle counterclockwise.
Move the handlebar forward or back to the desired position, then tighten
the tension handle by turning clockwise. Be sure to tighten the handle firmly.
PEDAL STRAP ADJUSTMENT
The pedal straps should be adjusted to hold the foot snugly in the pedal.
To adjust the pedal straps:
Place each foot in the toe clip until the ball of the foot is over the
pedal axle.
The front of the shoe may not completely fill the toe cage. Rotate the
pedals until one foot is within arms reach, then tighten the webbed
cloth buckle until the cage of the toe clip is snug around the foot.
Repeat for the other foot. Point your toes and knees directly forward
to ensure maximum pedal efficiency.
RESISTANCE CONTROL
Pedaling resistance is controlled by the Push Brake System knob located
below the handlebar. Resistance adjustments can be made while riding to
vary the intensity of your workout.
To adjust pedaling resistance:
To increase resistance, turn the Push Brake System knob clockwise (+); to
decrease resistance, turn the knob counterclockwise (-).
In case of emergency, you may press directly down on the Push Brake System knob to bring the flywheel to
an abrupt stop.
SMART RELEASE™ SYSTEM
(Spinner® Elite) Allows the benefits of the direct drive system with a safety clutch to release the crank from the
direct
drive when a force is applied to the pedals.
