GYRO V270

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Minoura GYRO V270 indoor bicycle trainer.

The V270 incorporates a new, patent pending Gyro Technology ywheel that by design is 35% more

effective than other trainers in its class.

The new NEODYMIUM (neo-dee-um) magnet is four times stronger than typical ferrite magnets and offers

a much wider range of resistance from low to high all while providing equal step differentials to simulate

real road riding.

The exclusive U-SHAPE legs are lightweight but more stable than other trainers weighing much more.

And each leg can be adjusted +/- 10 mm to compensate for uneven surfaces.

Read the is manual carefully and keep it for future reference.

Overtightening the pivot bolt will cause the
Foot-Step to become inoperable.
Make sure you unscrew (loosen) the pivot
bolt by 1/4 - 1/2 turn once you completely
tightened it.
The GYRO Mag unit should be lowered
towards the ground by its own weight at this
point. If the pivot bolt is too loose, the GYRO
Mag unit may drop quickly.
Adjust according to directions for best
operation.

If you need to adjust the Mag unit position horizontally
to set the tire in the center of the drive roller, loosen the
backside screws and slide the Mag unit sideward.

After adjusting, tighten both screws rmly.
