Ø12 L=142 Mm Chainstays; Removing The Bicycle; Recommendations For Use - Elite TURNO Mode D'emploi

• Insert the quick release and the dropout adapter
(Rif.C) on the Turno sprocket cassette (Pic. 11).
• Place the bicycle chain onto the smallest spro-
cket of Turno (Pic 12).
• Fully fit the bicycle's rear dropouts onto Turno's
cassette (Pic. 13), paying careful attention to the
correct internal or external position, based on the
type of bicycle (Pic.14 -Pic 15):
- External triangle adapter (Rif. C) for road and
time trial bikes (130mm triangle) (Pic.14).
- Internal triangle adapter (Rif. C) for mountain bi-
kes (135mm triangle) (Pic.15).
NOTE: the knurled side of the triangle adapter
(Rif. C) must be facing the bicycle dropout.
• Make sure the bicycle is safely positioned
on the Turno and lock the quick release with a
strong push. The pressure should make the bike
dropouts remain locked onto the structure of the
Turno.
• 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 Tur-
no, use more force to lock the quick release.
INSTALLING THE SPROCKET
CASSETTE ON THE TURNO
FOR Ø12 L=142 mm CHAINSTAYS
• 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. D)
and unscrew the right adapter for 130-135 mm
chainstays (Pic.16);
2) Screw the right adapter to its end (Ref. E)
and insert the left adapter (Ref. F) for 142 mm
chainstays (Pic.17);
3) Attach the spacer (Ref. E) with the 17mm key
(11/16 inches) 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 Turno.
6) Insert the thru-axle on the Turno sprocket
cassette shaft.
7) Make sure the bicycle is safely positioned on the
Turno and lock the thru-axle with a strong push.
The pressure should make the bike dropouts
remain locked onto the structure of the Turno.
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
Turno, use more force to lock the thru-axle.
WARNING: •The feet of Elite hometrainers feature
a variable design that adapts to any type of floor
and ensures that the bicycle is perfectly vertical
when mounted on the hometrainer. You can also
select from 3 height levels by simply switching
the positions of the feet where they contact the
surface. 0 mm (0 inches) is the standard position,
with 3 mm (0.11 inches) and 6 mm (0.23 inches)
heights also available (see Pic. 18, 19, 20, 21, 22).
• Start pedalling. Ride very slowly at first and
increase your speed gradually until you become
familiar with the features of Turno.

REMOVING THE BICYCLE

• Shift the bicycle chain on the smallest cassette
sprocket of Turno 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 Turno.
• For transportation, or simply to reduce clutter
when not in use: push the safety lever (Pic. 23)
and fold the front leg (Pic. 24).
• It's also possible to rotate the front foot by 60°
(Pic. 25) to fold the hometrainer more compactly
after training. In this case, the hometrainer must
be stored horizontally as indicated (Pic. 26) to
prevent it falling and becoming damaged.

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 Turno. Occasionally, an adjustment
may be necessary for proper operation. If you
have any questions, please contact your dealer to
ensure proper derailleur operation with Turno.
