Important Notes
• For a standard 2-wheel bike with the wheelbase size between 950mm and 1,080mm only.
Any other bikes such as tandems, recumbent, folding bike or the bike with out of the applicable wheelbase
range cannot be used on R720.
• Triple roller trainers require the rider to be balanced at all times. If you are new to rollers it is strongly
recommended that you set the R720 next to a wall or handrail so you can use either to regain your balance
should the need arise.
Falling off can cause injury. Keep the ground around the R720 free from clutter.
• R720 is height adjustable to compensate for uneven or slanted oors. The rollers should be on a at surface
with the rollers making contact completely with the oor. Riding on a slanted oor may cause imbalance
issues and could result in damage or injury if you don't adjust the foot height correctly.
• Requires some assembling. Use correct tools (10mm & 17mm spanner, M4 hex wrench). Any tools other than
M4 hex wrench are not included in the kit.
• Be careful not to pinch your ngers in the frame while adjusting the roller belt and closing the frame.
• Make sure both side frame stoppers are set in the exact same position. Failure to do so means the rollers will
be uneven causing undo wear, noise, and decreased bike stability.
• Keep both hands on your handlebars at all times while on R720.
Do not brake while on the rollers. Doing so may cause a serious accident.
Simply stop pedaling and wait for the bike to stop when quit the training.
• Hi RPM's are generated on rollers. Keep children and pets away from your wheels.
Use R720 on a bare or tile oor if possible.
• Indoor training traps more heat than when you train outdoors. Be sure you are healthy enough to attempt
exercise indoors and on a roller. Consult a professional before attempting any workout regime.
• Any rubber roller parts and your sweat can cause stains. It is recommended to use a mat between the rollers
and your oor.
• If you feel any strange noise or smell while using R720, stop exercise immedialtely and ask to the shop you
purchased R720. Do not try to disassemble or modify the product without prior approval by Minoura.
• Minoura shall offer 1-year limited warranty to this product from the date of purchase for the owner who
originally purchased it in brand-new condition at Minoura authorized dealer. Any other problems than the
things caused by manufacturer's defect such as natural wear will not be covered by this program. For more
detail, please refer the attached "Minoura Limited Warranty Policy" card and Minoura web site.
• Note: Accessories designed for other Minoura rollers are not compatible with R720. This includes other foot
steps, front wheel guards, Mag units, or carrying bags.
Please read carefully before use

Take out the pre-assembled frame from the box.
Please note the longer one is the rear frame and shorter one is the
front frame. Flat side is outside and the narrow side is inside.
Install the Quick Lever and nut to the
front hole of the long hole on the Rear
Frame. This quick release holds the
Front Frame to adjust the length.
Quick Lever must be located on the
outside.

Make sure the narrower
end must t to the hole
correctly.
Install the roller drums to the left side
frame first.
The roller drums are exactly same and
symmetric. No specific direction nor
position.
Put the Alloy Sleeve through the roller
axle. Make sure the narrower diameter
end of the alloy sleeve is facing to the
frame.
Insert the narrower end to the hole on
the frame correctly. Put the flat washer,
spring washer and dome nut to the
axle.
You don't need to tighten the nut firmly
yet.

Next, install the rollers to the right side
frame with the same method of Step-2.
Make sure the Alloy Sleeve direction is
correct.
Make sure all Alloy Sleeves
are correctly inserted to the
holes on the frame.
If not, the Alloy Sleeve or
frame will be broken when
tightening the nut in Step-5.
Alloy Bar
(from bottom)
M6 Spring Washer
M6 Bolt
Stand the assembled R720 on flat and
level floor.
You will need to have both hands free
so select a level surface to place the
roller so it can stand on its own.
Face the bottom side (with rubber
foot) toward you.
Roller Belt must go to the back side.
Install the Alloy Bar between the
frame with M6 bolt and spring
washer.
Both bars are exactly same. Each one
connects the frame as a reinforcement
To make this job easy, you had set both
frames at same length in Step-1.
Do NOT put the Alloy Bar through the
roller belt.
The bar will impede the belt line and
will cause damage.

5. Lay the R720 on the floor, and tighten all
dome nuts firmly.
Do not over tighten the nut. This
will cause serious damage to
the frame, axle thread, and alloy
sleeves.
The desired tightening torque
should be 10 N.m.
It's much lighter than you expect.
How To Install Foot-Step
Required Tools: 10mm Spanner (not included), M4 Hex Wrench
A convenient wooden Foot-Step comes in this kit.
Your position on the R720 may be higher than you expected
and reaching the floor may be difficult. If this happens you
may not be able to come off the rollers safely.
Be aware of this fact at all times you ride on rollers.
Foot-Step provides a safe area for you to touch down on
when on the R720.
This guide show installing the step
on inside of the left side frame.
Foot-Step
(from bottom)
M6 Spring Washer
M6 Bolt
Installing Foot-Step on the inside is recommended to minimize any possible damage during storage or
transportation. However Foot-Step may be set up inside or outside depending on your need.
[ To Install On Inside Of The Frame ]
Put the step over the frame in the direction that the step legs are facing inward.
Attach the shorter legs onto the frame from outside. Put the bolt and tighten the nut from inside.
[ To Install On Outside Of The Frame ]
Attach the step to the outside of the frame in the direction that the step legs are facing outward.
Attach the shorter legs onto the frame and put the bolt then tighten the nut from inside.
Be sure that you must set the Roller Belt on the opposite side of the step
because the step disturbs the belt line.
Dropping, bumping into things, or otherwise abusing the frame will cause damage.
Be careful during transport.

Set The Front Roller Position
Required Tool : M4 Hex Wrench
Wheelbase Setting Gauge (min. 950mm / max. 1,080mm)
Left Side Frame
Right Side Frame
On triple roller trainer, the rear wheel
position has been fixed by the position of
both middle and rear rollers. So you will
change the front roller position to adjust
to various wheelbase sizes.
R720 has a bracket in the long hole on
each rear frame. It works to set the Front
Frame at the ideal position easily.
By fixing the bracket position, you simply
pull out the Front Frame until it hits the
bracket. That's all.
This also allows to repeat the same
position automatically.
The tip of the bracket in the long hole works as the wheelbase size indicator.
Loosen the bolt (do not remove), slide it to the position where the tip inidicates the desired wheelbase size,
then tighten the bolt to fix.
For example, if you use a bike with 980mm wheelbase size, just set the indicator at "980" position. This will
set the front roller 10mm ahead from the front wheel axle. This should be the ideal position for most riders.
By setting both side indicators, you simply pull out the Front Frame until it reaches the stopper to setup R720
perfectly.
If you have set the indicators at different positions, the front roller will be angled and
make riding straight difcult.
The available wheelbase size of R720 is between 950mm and 1,080mm.
If your bike is shorter than 950mm, the Front Roller will be located too far that should
disturb the handling performance.
If your bike is longer than 1,080mm, you may fall off forward.
Tips About Front Roller Position
The front roller position is important as it is a major factor in bike stability and overall performance.
R720's front roller is 10mm further than the front wheel axle by design for safety and stability.
The shorter the distance, bike handling becomes quicker. This setting is for more advanced riders.
Minimum position is zero and this replicates your wheelbase exactly. If this distance is 20mm or
more, handling may be sluggish and feel heavy.
Adjust the front roller position to precisely match your skill and handling abilities.

Preparing R720 For Use
Adjust the quick
release properly
as the 1st step
At first, adjust the quick release properly so that
you can tightely fix the Front Frame by just
bending the lever.
This step shoud be done while the frame is
retracted.
Adjust the backside nut precisely so that you will
feel resistance on your palm when the lever comes
in horizontal.
Do it on both sides.
Do not use the lever to tighten.
Use the nut ONLY.
Extend
Tighten
rmly
Tighten
rmly
Make sure the belt is not on the frame (resting
on rollers) so it does not get caught when you are
extending the frame.
Pull out the Front Frame until it reaches the stopper,
and tighten the quick release lever firmly.
The lever should be directed to the floor.
Hook the roller belt to the groove on rollers.
Rotating the roller will help seat the belt properly.
Be careful not to pinch your finger.
Confirm the roller belt is hooked properly between
the center and front rollers.
It's not recommended to hook
the roller belt to the rollers
BEFORE extending the front
frame.
To do so, you need to hold
R720 by pressing the rear roller
with your foot. Keep a steady
pressure with your toe so the
R720 doesn't snap back from
belt tension and cause possible
injury.
Tighten the quick levers rmly.
If you ride on the R720 roughly,
the quick release may come
loose and the front frame will
be retracted, then you may fall
forward.

Install The Front Wheel Guard
While you are a beginner on the tri-roller, you need to understand that rollers require practice. Your front wheel
will move side-to-side on the front roller and could cause you to come off the rollers if you're not careful.
To prevent the front wheel from coming off the roller the R720 comes with a Front Wheel Guard Kit.
When you need it, install it by following the steps below.
1. Remove the dome nut, spring washer and flat washer which hold the front roller.
2. Attach the guard to the front roller axle as the red plastic side faces inward. Put the spring washer and
tighten the dome nut.
!You should remove the at washer and use the guard plate as a spacer.
If you don't remove, you may not be able to tighten the dome nut.
Remove the Flat Washer
!
To allow mounting a long wheelbase bike such as 29er, you need to replace the slide rail to a longer one to
extend the wheelbase capacity 100mm more.
It will change the applicable wheelbase size from 950 – 1,080mm to 1,050 – 1,180mm.
Be sure the minimum wheelbase will be automatically changed.
