Removing The Bicycle; Recommendations For Use - Elite DIRETO Mode D'emploi

EN
INSTALLING THE BICYCLE ON DIRETO
- Loosen the bike's rear brake and place the chain on the smal-
lest rear sprocket and the largest front chainring. Remove the
quick release from the rear wheel.
- Insert the quick release and the dropout adapter (Ref. C) on the
Direto sprocket cassette (Pic. 13).
- Place the bicycle chain onto the smallest sprocket of Direto
(Pic 14).
- Fully fit the bicycle's rear dropouts onto Direto's cassette (Pic.
15), paying careful attention to the correct internal or external
position, based on the type of bicycle:
- External triangle adapter (Ref. C) for road and time trial bikes
(130mm triangle) (Pic.16).
- Internal triangle adapter (C) for mountain bikes (135mm trian-
gle) (Pic. 17).
NOTE: the knurled side of the triangle adapter (Ref. C) must be
facing the bicycle dropout.
- Securely fix the bicycle to Direto and firmly close the quick
release. The resulting pressure should keep the bicycle dropouts
locked to the Direto.
INSTALLING THE SPROCKET CASSETTE ON
THE DIRETO FOR Ø12 L=142 mm CHAIN-
STAYS
- For bikes with rear thru-axle you need to change the sleeve set
in the chainstay spindle:
1) If it's inserted, remove the left adapter (Ref. G) and unscrew
the right adapter for 130-135 mm chainstays (Pic.18);
2) Screw the right adapter to its end (Ref. E) and insert the left
adapter (Ref. F) for 142 mm chainstays (Pic.19);
3) Attach the adapter (Ref. E) with the 17mm key (11/16 in-
ches) with a 5Nm tightening torque (44 in-lbs). Use a medium
strength, oil-tolerant threadlocker to lock the nut on the spindle;
4) Loosen the rear brake of the bicycle and place the chain on
the smallest sprocket of the rear wheel and the front chainring.
Remove the thru-axle from the rear wheel.
5) Position the bicycle's rear dropouts on the axle of the sprocket
cassette of the Direto.
6) Insert the thru-axle on the Direto sprocket cassette shaft.
7) Make sure the bicycle is safely positioned on the Direto and
lock the thru-axle with a strong push. The pressure should make
the bike dropouts remain locked onto the structure of the Direto.
8) Make sure the bike is stable by pushing and pulling the top
tube of the frame and the saddle. Should the bike still be moving
a little on the Direto, use more force to lock the thru-axle.
- Start pedalling. Ride very slowly at first and increase your
speed gradually until you become familiar with the features of
Direto.
CONNECTIONS
- Direto has an electronic motherboard that is powered via a
42
standard power supply adapter (included).
- Connect the power supply to the grid and the jack to the proper
connector on the back of the Direto. A small vibration indicates
that the system is booting up to its initial position. This operation
might last up to 15 seconds.
Hang the power supply cable on the dedicated hanger (Pics 21
and 22).

REMOVING THE BICYCLE

- Shift the bicycle chain on the smallest cassette sprocket of
Direto and of the smallest front chainring of the bicycle.
- Open up the quick release (or remove the
thru-axle) and remove the bicycle from the Direto.
- To avoid clutter or for transportation: loosen the knobs (Pic.
22) and fold the side legs (Pic. 23 - 24).

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

- Choose a cassette range that is compatible with your goals
and fitness level:
1) cassettes with a range of 11 to 23/25 teeth are recommended
for professional athletes and amateurs who are able to develop
high power output.
2) Cassettes with a greater number of teeth, such as 12/ 13 to
27 /29, are recommended for all other cyclists.
- Derailleurs should work properly after bicycle installation on
Direto. Occasionally, an adjustment may be necessary for proper
operation. If you have any questions, please contact your dealer
to ensure proper derailleur operation with Direto.
INSTALLATION OF CAMPAGNOLO
SPEED COMPATIBLE CASSETTE FREEHUB
BODY
- To replace the original freehub body installed on Direto with
the accessory body compatible with Campagnolo
speed cassettes, follow the procedure below:
1) Unscrew the adapter on the cogset shaft (Pic. 25).
2) Remove the freehub body from the Direto shaft (Pic. 26).
3) Fully insert the Campagnolo
body (Pic. 27-28).
4) Tighten the cog set shaft adapter using a 5 mm hex wrench to
a torque of 5 Nm (44in-lbs). Use a medium-strength oil tolerant
threadlocker to lock the adapter on the shaft.
- You can now mount your Campagnolo
sette onto the freehub body without using the spacers (Ref. E)
(Pic. 29) (only for 11 speeds).
ATTENTION!
Strictly follow the instructions provided by the cassette manufac-
turer with regard to specific installation techniques, the need for
additional spacers and torque specifications.
