ADJUSTING THE TENSION
Increasing or decreasing the tension allows you to add variety to your workout sessions by
adjusng the resistance level of the bike.
— To increase tension and increase resistance (requiring more strength to pedal), turn the
Emergency Brake & Tension Control Knob (37) clockwise.
— To decrease tension and increase resistance (requiring less strength to pedal), turn the
Emergency Brake & Tension Control Knob (30) counter clockwise.

11ELITE phanTom SpIn BIkE aSSEmBLy manuaL
EMERGENCY BRAKE FUNCTION
The same knob that allows you to adjust the tension of the bike also doubles as the Emergency
Brake. Use this safety feature in any situaon where you would need to get o the bike and/or stop
the bike’s ywheel.
— Press down the Emergency Brake & Tension Control Knob (37) on the Main Frame to stop the y
wheel. ONLY when the ywheel has stopped, will it be safe to remove feet from pedals.
— Do not stop pedalling: doing so could result in serious injury.
— Do not aempt to stop the Fly Wheel by hands, feet or any other device not indicated in this
instrucon.

Having your bike seat adjusted to the right
height is essenal for a comfortable ride,
ecient pedalling and avoiding injury. There
are 2 adjustments located on the seat post. The
rst is a vercal height adjustment, the second
is for horizontal seat posion. Although there
are many methods and opinions on the opmal
saddle seng, the following is a quick an easy
method to get started. Further adjustments can
be made aerwards to opmise your posion
and comfort.
Saddle Height Adjustment
— Place your heels on the bike pedals and
pedal backward. Your legs should be fully
extended with your knees straight. If your
hips rock from side to side while pedalling
backward, the seat is too high.
— Place the ball of your foot on the pedal.
There should now be a slight bend in your
knee when the pedal is at its lowest point.
This is a good starng point.
Adjusting the Seat Fore-and-Aft Position
Once you’ve adjusted seat height, it’s me
to nd the correct fore-and-a posion of
the saddle. This determines where you sit
in relaonship to the crank set (where the
pedals are aached), which helps decide how
comfortable and ecient you’ll be when riding.
This also minimises stress to the knee by being
in a more neutral posion.
If you want to try to check the fore-and-a
seng at home, you will need a second person
and a plumb line (a length of string with a nut
or washer ed on the end will work ne).
Whilst sing on the seat saddle bring your right
crank arm around and have your helper stop
the crank when the pedal is at three o’clock
or parallel with the oor. Note that for this
measurement to be accurate, your shoes must
be correctly posioned on the pedals (the balls
of your feet should be over the pedal axles).

SETTING YOUR SPIN BIKE UP

Please note: The spin bikes shown in the ‘setting up your spin bike’ section are for demonstration purposes only and your
spin bike my vary in aesthetics and features.
Holding this posion, have your helper place
the end of the plumb line (line of string with
nut/washer) on the front of your leg, at a point
just below the bony protrusion that’s beneath
the kneecap.
The plumb line’s weight should hang over your
shoe. Check again to ensure that the crank-arm
and pedal are level. By looking at the plumb
line the knee should be in alignment with the
centre spindle or axle of the pedal. Adjust the
saddle to the correct posion then ghten the
locking pin.
Handle Bar Adjustment
The posioning of the handlebars can be
dependent on the bike design and adjustability
available.
To minimise back strain, adjust the height
to a level that is comfortable for you. We
recommend the handlebars be posioned at
the same height level as the bike seat as a good
starng point.

Warm up exercise is important in preparing the muscles for acvity whilst minimising the risk
of injury. You may choose to warm up with a light/brisk walking pace for 5-10 minutes before
stopping and performing some simple stretches. (As shown in the pictures below)
— Hamstring Stretch (Standing) Keep your knees slightly bent and slowly lean forward, back
and shoulders relaxed, reaching towards your toes. You should feel the tension and slight
discomfort in your hamstring muscles. Hold for 15-20 seconds.
Repeat 2-3 mes.
— Hamstrings Stretches (Seated) Sing on the oor preferably on
a mat, put one leg straight, the other inward and close to the
inside of the straight leg. Lean forward from the hips, reaching
towards your toes. Hold for 10-15 seconds, and relax. Repeat 3
mes for each leg (See picture 2).
— Crus and Feet Tendon Stretches Standing with two hands on
the wall or tree, one leg behind. Keeping your legs straight and
the heel on the ground, lean forward towards the wall or tree.
Hold for 10-15 seconds, and relax. Repeat 3 mes for each leg
(See picture 3).
— Quadriceps Stretches Keeping your balance with your le hand
holding onto a wall or staonery xture, grasp your right foot
with your right hand and stretch your right heel toward your
buocks slowly, unl you feel the stretch in the front of your
thigh. Hold for 10-15 seconds, and relax. Repeat 3 mes for
each leg (See picture 4).
— Sartorius (Inner Muscles of the Thigh) Muscle
— Stretches Sing down with the soles of your feet or shoes
together and your knees posioned outward. Pull your feet
towards your groin unl you can feel the stretch. Hold for 10-15
seconds, and relax. Repeat 3 mes (See picture 5).
WARM-UP EXERCISE

19ELITE phanTom SpIn BIkE aSSEmBLy manuaL
Cardiovascular training plays an important part in maintaining a healthy heart and lung funcon, so
it’s no surprise we should be paying aenon to how quickly our heart beats during exercise. The
chart above outlines a range of heart rate training zones determined by the individual’s age and
workout goals to ensure you train safely and eecvely.
Heart Rate can be measured by using the radial (wrist) or carod (neck) pulse using your index and
middle ngers, counng the beats for 10 seconds and mulplying by 6. Alternavely, the use of a
Wireless Telemetry Heart Rate strap and watch will give you an accurate Beats Per Minute (BPM)
reading.
220 – AGE = TMHR (Theorecal Maximum Heart Rate)
TMHR x 85% = (Upper Training Limit) bpm (Beats per Minute)
TMHR x 65% = (Lower Training Limit) bpm
Note: Contact heart rate may provide inaccurate readings and is designed only as a guide
Example: 220 – 39 = 181 bpm
181 x 85% (0.85) = 154 bpm (Upper Training Limit)
181 x 65% (0.65) = 118 bpm (Lower Training Limit)
