CHAIN TENSION & ADJUSTMENT
The chain on your bike has been factory set and lubricated. It should not require adjustment initially. Over time, however, you may need to adjust the
tension.
CAUTION: Improper chain adjustment will cause premature wear and may void the warranty.
To adjust chain on Spinner

V:
1. Using a 3mm Allen Wrench, remove the three screws supporting the
plastic chain guard shroud.
2. With an adjustable wrench, loosen the two nuts on both sides of the
flywheel (Figure 1 & 2).
3. Tighten the two bolts that go through the frame, moving the flywheel
forward by turning clockwise, until there is approximately 3/16” of slack
in the chain (Figure 1 & 2).
4. Re-tighten the two bolts on both sides of the flywheel and replace the
chain guard shroud.
NOTE: If the chain is too tight, typically the rider will feel a strong
vibration between 20 and 50 RPMs. If this happens, loosen the bolts 1/2”
turn until the vibration disappears, then tighten the lock nuts.
