HOW TO SETUP YOUR E-HYPER-RIM ALU TRAINER

<Required Tools: M5 hex wrench>

1

2

3

Open the frame support leg fully and place it on the flat and level floor.

Install the Mag resistance unit on the left side slot and
the assistant roller on the right side slot beside the trainer
pillar by the supplied M6x12 bolts. (see Fig. B)

NOTE: We recommend you to use the reinforcement plate

(SR-13) for installing the Mag unit. This plate will sandwich

the slot plate from outside for mounting the heavy Mag unit

stable.

(Fig. B)

Open both couplings by turning the left side knob (see Fig. C) and the right side hub handle (see Fig. D)
anti-clockwise.

4

Do not over-loosen the couplings, otherwise the knob or the hub handle may become unthreaded inside
the frame.

Left Side Knob

(Fig. C)

NOTE:NOTE:

NOTE: We suggest you do not need to move the left side coupling away so

NOTE:NOTE:
much. It should be fine to move by the center of its length, but it needs to be
adjusted depends on the hub width. (see Fig. E)

Right Side Hub Handle

(Fig. D)

(Fig. E)

Insert the left side of the skewer (Q/R lever side) into the left side cou­pling, and adjust the rotation of the coupling so the skewer lever sits

securely in the large cut-out (see Fig. F). This will prevent damage to the
skewer during use.

(Fig. F)

Hold the bike firmly by hand and turn the right side hub handle clockwise until the coupling comes into
contact with the right side skewer nut.

Adjust each height of the Mag unit and the assistant
roller to fit to your rear wheel perfectly and tighten the
bolts firmly. (see Fig. G)

Adjust the wheel position by checking the double-circle
position indicators on both side.
The best position should be each indicator can be seen
equally, but if your rim is narrow, you should adjust
the wheel position to be a little left (toward Mag side)
to prevent unexpected slippage problem.

NOTE:NOTE:

NOTE: Be sure that the left knob is NOT for tightening the

NOTE:NOTE:
axle. It is only for positioning the wheel. Clamping wheel
securely must be done by the right side hub handle.

USING THE PLATIC SKEWER NUT PROTECTOR

We recommend you should replace your wheel axle to the supplied quick
release skewer to avoid any fitting problem that may occur during work­out, because our coupling is designed to fit to the supplied skewer only.

(Fig. H)

Hole

(Fig. I)

The right side coupling has a black plastic skewer nut protector (called a “Grommet”). This is to protect your
skewer from damage during use.
Minoura cannot guarantee compatibility with all makes and models of skewer, however when using your own
skewer please use the supplied grommet.

We will NOT guarantee any fitting problem or accident caused by using your own skewer on the trainer.We will NOT guarantee any fitting problem or accident caused by using your own skewer on the trainer.

When you use the supplied skewer, you should remove the grommet from the coupling. It can be done by
inserting a rod or a pen to the hole (see Fig. I) and lift up the grommet.

HOW TO INSTALL THE REMOTE LEVER

You can install the remote lever on anywhere the diameter is between 22.2mm (7/8”) and 31.8mm (1-1/4”) like
as on the handlebar.

2

Fully loosen the knob bolt on the plastic holder until it stops then push down the bolt to open the holder.
(see Fig. J)

Place the holder onto the handlebar, shut the holder, and pull up the bolt then tighten it. (see Fig. K)

Shim

(Fig. J) (Fig. K)

Depends on the diameter of your handlebar, you must adjust the

!

(Fig. K-2)

shim as follows;

• 22.2mm (7/8”) - 25.4mm (1”): Install both shims.

• 28.6mm (1-1/8”): Install either right or left side shim.

• 31.8mm (1-1/4”): Remove both shims.

When you install the shim
on the plastic holder, make
sure the direction of the
shim as shown in Fig. J-2.

USING THE MAG RESISTANCE UNIT

The Mag unit has 7 different levels of load force, replicating actual riding resistance.
The load settings range from high (H) to low (L) can be adjusted via the white lever on the Magturbo unit or the
lever on the thumb shifter type remote lever device. You may also adjust the load force by shifting up or down
among your gears, depending on the level desired.
We recommend that you start with a medium to low load force and gradually work
up, increasing force as your muscles warm up.

Increasing Load ForceIncreasing Load Force

Increasing Load Force

Increasing Load ForceIncreasing Load Force

To increase the load force, move the white lever on the Mag unit toward the (H)
symbol. (see Fig. L)

(Fig. L)

If your Mag unit is a remote control type, turn the lever on your thumb shifter
device toward the (H) symbol. (see Fig. N)

Decreasing Load ForceDecreasing Load Force

Decreasing Load Force

Decreasing Load ForceDecreasing Load Force

To decrease the load force, move the white lever on Mag unit toward the (L)
symbol. (see Fig. M)
Be sure the lowest selection is not zero load, there still be a small level of force.
If your Mag unit is a remote control type, turn the lever on your thumb shifter
device toward the (L) symbol.

TROUBLE SHOOTING YOUR REMOTE SHIFTER UNIT

(Fig. N)

If you cannot shift to either the lowest (L) or the highest (H) position, it is possible
that the inner wire of the remote shifter cable is too long and the wire tension is

Cable

loose. If so, please adjust the tension with the following steps.

1

2

3

Set the remote shifter lever at “H” position. Remove the remote shifter
device from the handlebar and straighten the cable.

Remove the plastic cap located on the bottom of the cable. (see Fig. O)

Hold the adjusting screw with your right hand and push it towards the

Adjusting Screw

(Fig. O)

direction of the outer cable, then adjust the nut with your left hand to make
the wire tension properly.

If you experience that the remote lever will move toward “H” unexpectedly automarically when you pedal hard,
try to tighten the adjusting screw 1/4 rotation. The screw is located under the remote lever holder.

ABOUT SLIPPAGE PROBLEM

The drive roller doesn’t bite the rim, just being pressed by a spring, so some slippage between the rubber roller
and the rim must occur, especially when the rubber roller is being cold or you pedal fast. This is not a trouble.

If you experience slippage all the time you use the trainer, check the belt tension first by pushing down the belt
with your finger. The V-belt will be worn down after long term use but most reason for the slippage problem is
caused by improper (too much or too less) tension adjustment.

To adjust the belt tension, loosen both upper and lower bolts which hold the pulley arm by an M5 hex wrench,
then pull the arm outward by your hand and tighten the bolts firmly again.

If the V-belt is completely worn down or damaged, replace it.
This work requieres high skill for disassembling and assembling the Mag unit. If you don’t have confidence,
please ask to the Minoura dealer where you purchased the trainer.
The instructions manual will come with the replacement V-belt kit, also you can download it from our web site
(http://www.minoura.jp).

and remove the inside spring. You should keep a memo where the
bottom pin of the spring was installed for returning to dial type
again.

Change the spring position as shown in the Fig. P.

Place the spring holder onto the spring. Be sure the top pin is inserted into the slot of the holder.

Twist the spring holder in the direction of clockwis and push down it to fit to the hole on the lower case
then tighten the screws.

Install the remote cable bracket at the postion where the dial lever sit by the removed small screws in
