Resistance Modification Instructions

The resistance can be changed in your 1up Trainer.  To increase/decrease the resistance in the unit, follow the instructions and photos below.

Step 1.  Use the silver wrench provided to remove the axle bolt with lock washer (right side of unit).  The silver wrench is located on the right blue leg held on by a black knob (turn counter clockwise to remove). 

Step 2.  To disassemble the Unit, pivot the right RU Bar out of the way. Remove the Spacer, Friction Pad Plate, Spring, Disk and the 3 Steel Balls. 

Step 3.  Turn the trainer on its side.  To reduce the resistance, place the 3 balls in the inner pockets.  (The trainer comes with the balls in the outer pockets.) To increase the resistance, place all 6 balls in all 6 pockets.  The 3 additional Balls are located in the Plastic Bag inside the right Rubber Foot.     

Step 4.  Slide the Disk back on the axle and line up the Drive Pin Holes so it fits together.  Slide the Spring, Pad Plate and then the Spacer on the Axle.  Be sure the Spring is between the Disk and the Pad Plate.  The Axle should come all the way through the Plate and Spacer.  

Step 5.  While holding the unit together, line up the RU Bar and replace the Axle Bolt.  When the bolt is started, line up the Pad Plate Hole with the RU Bar Pin and tighten the bolt.  Be sure the axle is through the spacer.
