The LR961 can be used as a gravity trainer or a xed position trainer by operating the lock

lever.

Fixed Mode acts like a traditional trainer where the trainer stays in the same position and
the rear roller compresses the tire to achieve resistance. This is good for power training.
Gravity Mode supports the bicycle frame by the axle allowing the bike to move up and
down. Your body weight dictates contact with the roller naturally so no adjustment is needed
no matter what bike or tire you use. This also extends tire life.

Important Notes

• For use with a normal 2-wheel bicycle only. Do not use a tandem, recumbent, or other.

• Fits rear wheel hub width between 125 and 140mm.
Hub nut type rear wheel axles are not compatible without using the replacing the left side coupling bolt (UF-8S)
with the optional Left Side Coupling for Hub Nut Axle (UF-8L).

• Fits tire which outer diameter is between 570 and 710mm (Gravity Mode) or 610 and 710mm (Fixed Mode).

Any other sizes cannot be used on LR961.

A slick tire MUST be used with all tire drive trainer like the LR961. Use of a non slick or knobby tire will cause

severe damage to both the trainer and your tire and will void any warranty.

• Packed in completely assembled condition. However, you will need tools for adjusting the center foot length

or the remote shifter band. The tools don't come in the kit, you need to prepare separetely.

• Use the supplied rear quick release skewer for maximum stability. The hub clamping parts (couplings) ts the
supplied quick release skewer only. Minoura is not responsible for any problem caused from using your own
skewer.

Please read carefully before use

• Be careful not to pinch your nger when raising up or folding down the Mag unit, or folding the frame.

• Adjust the roller pressure to the rear tire properly in order to maximize your tire life.
Tire and roller contact will eventually wear both your tire and the trainer roller.
Wipe the tire surface to remove any solid dust away before setting the bike on the trainer in order to maximize
both the tire and the drive roller life. And maintain the tire air pressure 10% higher.

• Touching the spinning wheel and/or any other moving parts while training may cause serious injury.

Keep children and pets away from the trainer when in use.

• It is not possible to convert the remote controllable resistance unit to the non-remote version one.

Removing the remote shifting device means xing the resistance level at the highest range.

• To protect the oor or carpet from stain and sweat during workout, we recommend you to put a sheet or mat
under the trainer and bike.

• If you feel any strange noise or smell, stop using LR961 immediately and contact the retailer where you
purchased the trainer. Do not try to disassemble LR961 without our prior approval.

• Any warranty will be void if you use LR961 for other purpose than instructed.

How To Setup LR961

Required Tool : 13mm open wrench (NOT a closed type)

LR961 is packed in the folded condition. The pillars are folded backward, and the Mag resistance unit is folded
forward. (see Fig. A)
First, raise the pillars then set the Mag unit into position.

Left Side Pillar

Right Side Pillar

Frame

Make sure both side Lock Levers are released from
the holes, then raise up the pillars.

While supporting the pillars, pull the Lock Lever
and slide it outward to insert the pin into the hole for
Fixed Mode. (see Fig. B)
The lever will be retracted by the inside spring. Slide
the pin until it's securely locked.

Adjust the center foot length by turning it until
all 5 foot points securely touch the floor.
(see Fig. C)
If you set the the center foot too long, stability
will be compromised.

After adjustment, tighten the inside nut by
inserting a 13mm wrench from the front opening.

You will do this on both sides to prepare using the
trainer in Fixed Mode.
Even if you will choose Gravity Mode, set the pillars
in this position first.

!

Make sure the Lock Pin
is securely inserted into
the hole and the pillar
is solidly supported.
