  2. Install the Quick Release Skewer on Your Bicycle:

    If your bicycle does not have a quick release skewer, or if the existing one is not compatible, replace it with the quick release skewer provided with the trainer. Remove your bike's rear wheel from the frame. Remove the existing skewer from the wheel hub. Insert the provided Schwinn quick release skewer through the wheel hub and secure it. Reinstall the rear wheel into your bike frame.

  3. Mount Your Bicycle onto the Trainer:

    Position your bicycle so that the ends of the quick release skewer align with the mounting cups on the trainer. Carefully lower the bike onto the trainer, ensuring the skewer ends rest securely in the cups. Adjust the tension knobs on both sides of the trainer to firmly hold the skewer in place. Ensure the bike is centered and stable.

  5. Adjust Resistance Unit:

    Ensure the magnetic resistance unit is positioned against the rear tire. The knob on the resistance unit allows for fine-tuning the pressure against the tire. Adjust it so there is firm contact, but not so tight that it causes excessive friction or tire wear.
