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

EN
• 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 Kura,
use more force to lock the quick release.
INSTALLING THE SPROCKET
CASSETTE ON THE KURA
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 Kura.
6) Insert the thru-axle on the Kura sprocket
cassette shaft. (Pic. 11)
7) Make sure the bicycle is safely positioned on
the Kura and lock the thru-axle with a strong
push. The pressure should make the bike
dropouts remain locked onto the structure of the
Kura.
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 Kura,
use more force to lock the thru-axle.
WARNING: both feet support three different types
of wheel height; rotate the foot (Pic. 18) facing
downwards based on your wheel dimension:
1) mountain bikes with 27,5'' wheel dimension
(Pic. 19);
2) road bikes with 28'' or MTB 26'' wheel
dimension (Pic. 20) ;
3) mountain bikes with 29'' wheel dimension (Pic. 21).
• Start pedalling. Ride very slowly at first and
increase your speed gradually until you become
familiar with the features of Kura.

REMOVING THE BICYCLE

• Shift the bicycle chain on the smallest cassette
sprocket of Kura 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 Kura.
• For transportation, or simply to reduce clutter
when not in use: push the safety lever (Pic. 22)
and fold the front leg (Pic. 23).
• It's also possible to rotate the front foot by 90°
(Pic. 24) to fold the hometrainer more compactly
after training. In this case, the hometrainer must
be stored horizontally as indicated (Pic. 25) to
prevent it falling and becoming damaged.
NOTE: For more stability place the feet (Rif. G) in
the 28 ROAD position as in (Pic. 26).
• Kura can be stored vertically by leaning on
the floor as indicated (Pic. 27), but make sure
the front leaning area in contact with the floor
is rotated as indicated (Pic. 28). Be aware that
the flywheel of the hometrainer is moved up
higher in this position, so any external bumps
or oscillations might cause it to fall down. The
folded up hometrainer must always be placed
close to a wall that might break its fall.
NOTE: Before storing the hometrainer in this
manner, make sure it's safely folded up by
moving its upper handle.

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