IMPORTANT
•Do not block the rotation of the bicycle wheel
by using caliper or disk brake. This seriously
damages the roller and the tire.
•Use slick tires with a 23 mm or wider rigid
casing when using the home-trainer. Tire
pressure must range between 7-8 atm for
racing tires (4 for MTB tires). A tire that is
too narrow and/or insufficient tire pressure
will cause serious damage to the Elastogel
roller and tire.
•Use a slick wheel on mountain bikes too (it
will improve traction, reduce tire and roller
wear, reduce the noise level and vibrations).
•The wheel must not slip on the roller. If this
happens, make the action on the pedals more
progressive. Training with a tire that slips
regularly can seriously damage the Elastogel
roller and tire.
•While using the Crono Fluid Elastogel trainer,
a slight sign of wear of the roller is normal
and does not effect performance. The tests
performed in Elite show that after 20.000 km of
constant use the wear of the roller is equal to
0.1 mm, and being the roller think 13 mm, even
a wear greater than 0.1 mm would not effect
the functionality of the trainer. Warranty claims
due to improper use of the trainer are void.

ASSEMBLY
The Fluid stand is already completely assembled.
You just have to put it on a level surface with
the front stanchion in a vertical position and
the base in a horizontal position. If the friction
between the base and the stanchion  is not
sufficient to keep the stand open, even without the
bike, you only need to tighten the two screws that
act as a hinge between the two parts.
Resistance Unit Assembly
1 Place the unit on the support . Fasten the
resistance unit to the support by using the M6 x 25
screws and the Ø 6.3 x 14 washers from the lower
side of the support, as show in Ill. 2. Use the most
suitable couple of holes for the rear wheel of the
bike. Front holes for small diameter wheels and
rear holes for bigger wheels. For a 28” (Ø 670 mm
circa) race wheel, we suggest the use of the cen-
tral couple of holes. For 700 mm diameter wheels,
we suggest the use of the rear couple of holes.
Bicycle Installation
1 Substitute the quick release of the rear wheel
with the model supplied with the trainer.
2 Make sure that the quick release of the rear
wheel is tight.
3 Place the locking ring of the handle as
seen on illustration 3a and unscrew the fastening
screw until the right support cup touches the
frame stand (illustration 3b).
4 Make sure that the front legs of the stand are
in a vertical position.
5 Position the bike by inserting the left edge of the
quick release in the left support cup  (ill. 4a). To
have a safe locking of the bike on the stand, make
sure that the left support cup (where the quick

release lever is blocked) is positioned with the
undercutting facing upwards (See ill. 4b).
6 By rotating the handle , tighten the fastening
screw until the right support cup touches the
nut, right side, of the quick release lever (ill. 5).
7 After the contact, rotate the handle of
a complete turn to tightly firm the bike to the
support stand.
8 Lock the fastening system by using the locking
ring of the handle, moving it in a locking posi-
tion (ill. 6).
9 Push the bike towards the resistance unit,
until the rear wheel comes into contact with the
elastogel roller (ill. 7).
10 Verify the stability of the bike by pushing the
top tube of the frame and moving the saddle.
I f
the bike is not fully secured, make sure that
the quick release and its lever are correctly
positioned and the locking ring is in the
correct position. If the bike does not result
securely fixed, tighten the handle by another
one-quarter turn.
Do not ever get on the bike if it is not firmly
fastened to the stand, as injury to the user or
damage to the cycle may occur.
11 Now you can start your training. To have
different levels of resistance, use the bicycle’s
gear shifter just like you do when you ride on
the road.
BIKE REMOVAL
1 Unlock the handle by working on the locking
ring , making it touch the handle (ill. 3a).

2 Hold the bicycle with one hand and with the
other one unscrew the fastening screw , by
rotating the handle , until the bicycle itself is
freed, then remove the bike.
ATTENTION
1 The resistance unit becomes very hot while in
use. It is necessary to wait for it to cool down
before handling.
2 There are no singularly usable components in
the interior part. The warranty is cancelled if the
unit is opened or tampered with in any way.
3 The stand is intended to be used by a single
cyclist only.
4 Verify the safety and stability of the bike before
each training session.
5 The feet are built in a special anti-slip material,
so during the use there might be the chance that
they leave small traces on some floor surfaces.
6If the quick release is not compatible with the
bushings of the stand, replace it with the one
supplied.
WE SUGGEST
Before each training session, clean the bicycle tyre
with water or cleaner.
If the pin of the quick release supplied (10) pro-
trudes from the locking nut by more than 3 mm,
cut off the protruding part (fig. 8).
