2.1 Compatible devices
In order to control your smart trainer, you’ll need a smart training app, running on
a device such as a smartphone or laptop.
You can run training apps on:
• Smartphones
• Tablets
• PCs
• Macbook Computers
• Laptops
• Apple TVs
Your device needs either Bluetooth Smart or ANT+ in order to communicate with
the trainer. Smartphones, tablets and Macbook Computers have Bluetooth built in,
whereas you’ll insert an ANT+ dongle in the USB port of a Windows PC or laptop to
connect with it.

2.2 Compatible apps
Fliiiight has been tested to be compatible with:
• TrainerRoad ( Mac, Windows, iOS, Android )
• Zwift ( Mac, Windows, iOS )

commands using one of two standard connection protocols:
• ANT+ FE-C ( Fitness Equipment Controlled )
• Bluetooth Smart [BLE] FTMS ( Fitness Machine Service )

2.3 Smart trainer modes
There are three modes for smart trainer workouts.
ERG
ERG mode keeps you accountable to your interval workout, ensuring you hit your power
targets by increasing resistance if you slow down, or easing up if you pedal faster.
Always use your bike’s fastest gear (large front chainring).
SIM
SIM mode simulates an outdoor ride: tougher on the climbs than the downhills.
Use your gears like you would outdoors.
Resistance ( non-smart mode )
Fliiiight also has a non-smart mode, Resistance Mode. Use the 4iiii app to set the
resistance level, then use your gears to adjust the difficulty.

2INTRODUCTION TO SMART TRAINERS

3.1 Before installing the bike in the trainer
1. Check your wheel for compatibility, if you have not done so before purchasing.
a. Run a strong magnet around the wheel rim. If the wheel is compatible,
the magnet will not stick anywhere on the flat surface of the wheel rim.
Ensure you check opposite the valve stem. Do not use the trainer with an
incompatible wheel. Go to 4iiii.com/support for assistance.
2. Install the included trainer skewer in your bike’s rear wheel.
a. In most cases, you do not need to remove your wheel to change the
wheel skewer.
Tip
As long as it is properly installed, it is safe to leave your trainer skewer in your bike
during outdoor rides.

3.2 Installing the bike in the trainer: first time set-up
1. Install one speed index on a spoke. It does not matter which spoke.
Slide the index towards the rim. DO NOT install the spare indexes. Doing so
will will affect the functionality of the unit.
2. Open Fliiiight’s legs to full extension and place the trainer flat on the floor.
3. Rotate the magnet arrays so they are parallel with your wheel rim.

4. Turn the large plastic knobs counter clockwise to retract the threaded rods.
Retract one completely and the other approximately ¾ of the way. It does
not matter which one is open all the way. This will open up the skewer cups
enough to place the bike, and make it easier to mount.
5. Back the rear wheel of the bike into the trainer frame. Aim the wheel between
the magnet arrays.
Tip
If the magnet arrays are not far enough apart for easy installation, gently pull them
open by hand while the trainer is off. Pull both sides simultaneously.

6. Lift the tip of the trainer skewer into the closest skewer cup. The bike should be
approximately centered.
7. Keeping the bike upright, tighten the other knob until both skewer cups firmly
secure the trainer skewer.
8. Tighten the lock nuts against the frame.

3.3 Activating the trainer
1. Turn the power switch to “ON” ( #1 in the diagram ). The status light ( #2 in the
diagram ) will be solid blue until paired with your app.
2. The magnet arrays will close on your wheel in order to center themselves.
Keep the wheel still until they release.
3. Pedal to start your ride.
Tips
• The trainer will default to 36% resistance, until it receives a command from the app.
• Don’t forget to turn the trainer off when not in use.

3.4 Calibration
Fliiiight is calibrated for a standard 700c road wheel or 29” MTB wheel. Use the 4iiii
app to update the wheel rim circumference if you have a different wheel size
( Section 5.1 ). You will not need to do regular re-calibrations.
3.5 Removing your bike
It is not necessary to undo both threaded rods. Leave one threaded rod in place to
easily remove or install your bike.
Additionally, you do not need to remove the speed index.
