Assembling Grand Excel

1 ASSEMBLING GRAND EXCEL

The Grand Excel ergotrainer consists of the collapsible CycleForce frame on which you mount

your bike and the Grand Excel computer. The CycleForce is suitable for racing and hybrid bikes

and mountain bikes with a wheel diameter of 610 - 720 mm.

Assembling the Trainer

The following steps show how to assemble and adjust the trainer.

1 Press nut Ainto cap Band slide the cap into the frame tube (fig.1).

2 Assemble base Cto the frame using bolt D. Tighten bolt Dbut make sure

the base is still adjustable.

3 Unfold the trainer and place it on a level surface. By fully squeezing grip E,

the trainer can be folded out or collapsed (fig.1).

4 Turn base Cto the correct position (fig.2). Tighten bolt Dfirmly and attach

anti-slip rubber F(fig.3).

5 Assemble 2 rubber rings Gand part Kto handle H(fig.4). Than assemble the complete handle

to the frame, shove unit Iinto part Kof the handle and turn bolt Juntil the mag unit is firmly

tightened but it should still be able to move (fig.3).

6 Replace the quick-release skewer on the rear wheel with the skewer supplied by Tacx. This

assures ideal clamp fitting and stability. Place the bike in the trainer and adjust the wing bolt L

of the trainer, so that the speed tension clamp Mwill close without forcing. Forcing could cause

damage!

7 Fix wing bolt Lby tightening wing nut N.

Assembling Grand Excel

8 With handle Hthe roll of the mag unit can be moved to and from the tire of the bike

(fig. 5 and 6). When handle Hhas been folded, knob Rcan be used to regulate the pressure

of the roll against the tire. Make sure the roll is firmly placed against the tire so that slipping

of the tire is not possible.

Alteration in mounting of bicycle with different wheel diameter

Before assembling the complete handle to the frame, see nr. 5 of the instructions, you need

to place the heightening or extension pieces.

Wheel diameter 610 - 640 mm: assemble heightening piece Wwith 4 bolts, nuts and rings (fig.7).

Wheel diameter 690 - 720 mm: assemble extension piece Z(fig.8).

Tip

- Before using the CycleForce, after unfolding the trainer, check to see that grip Ehas fully

returned to its original position. This will prevent damage to the frame.

- Make sure that the unit does not fall on the fly wheel during assembly. This could create an

imbalance in the axis, causing vibrations.

- Make sure that the tyre is well inflated (at least six atmosphere).

- ATB tyres should preferably have completely or partially smooth profiles. Rough profiles

can cause noise and tyre slippage.

- Never brake abruptly while using the CycleForce. When the brakes are applied to the rear

wheel, the fly wheel keeps on turning. This results in unnecessary wear and tear to the rear tyre.

- Regularly check to see whether the bolts and nuts of the CycleForce are tight.

- Tests show that the unit will not overheat during high performance. Lengthy, intensive use

could cause the magnetic unit's housing to heat up substantially. After use, allow the unit cool

off before touching it.

Assembling Grand Excel

Connecting the Grand Excel Computer

After placing the bike in the trainer, you can connect the computer as follows:

1 Assemble the computer using the two rubber clamps Pon the handlebars (fig.9).

2 Connect the computer to the unit with the cable Q. Make sure that the cable is out of the way

so you won’t touch it with your shoes or pedals while cycling.

3 Place the small magnet in front of the cadence Ron the inside of the left crankshaft (fig.10).

4 Assemble the magnetic sensor in front of the cadence measure Son the bottom of the left-hand

rear chain-stay. Make sure the sensor is level with the magnet, with a distance of approximately

3 mm between the magnet and the sensor. Insert the sensor’s cable in the unit. Make sure here

that the cable runs freely from the sensor and does not touch the wheel.

5 Place the plug in the power point. Check reception of the cadence metre by pedalling backwards.

The word CAD will appear on the display. The Grand Excel is now ready for use.

Perspiration and humidity could damage the printer plate in the computer. Do not use the Grand

Excel in humid spaces and if necessary dry the display after use. This will prevent unnecessary

damage. Incorrect use and/or improper maintenance will invalidate the warranty.

2 OPERATION OF GRAND EXCEL

The CycleForce Grand Excel will enable you to simulate the resistance encountered when

cycling outdoors. Below is a description of the options offered by the Grand Excel computer,

with an explanation of the corresponding displays.

Three Ways to Train

There are three different ways to train with Grand Excel:

- without a program, in P0

- with a program, in P1 to P10

- with a program and an opponent, in P1 to P10

Six Ways to Adjust Program Settings

There are ten possible training program settings in Grand Excel, each with a maximum of 15

routes (partial cycle tracks). The programs can only be set when cycling has stopped. You can

set these programs in six different ways:

- with slope resistance and time

- with slope resistance and distance

- with power and time

- with power and distance

- with pulse and time

- with pulse and distance

Program with Slope Resistance

For a training program with slope resistance, by selecting one of the fourteen steps between

-4 and +9 in SLOPE, you can have the computer do the correct resistance calculations. Note

that the resistance will be simulated. SLOPE +9 does not correspond to an actual slope angle of

+9 percent, nor does SLOPE -4 correspond to -4 percent.

Program in Power

With a program in power (WATT), the computer adjusts the resistance on the roller so that you

will continually pedal at your original power setting. If you change pedalling frequency or

resistance, the computer will immediately adjust the resistance on the roller. You can set the

power between 0 and 990 Watts, in increments of 10 Watts.

Program in Pulse

With a program in pulse ( ), during training, the computer constantly checks to see whether

the frequency of your pulse is still near the value set. It then adjusts the resistance of the mag

unit accordingly. You can set the pulse between 40 and 240 heartbeats per minute, in incre-

ments of one.

If you would like to cycle without a pre-set program, select program 0. In this program you

can adjust the resistance (SLOPE/WATT) during cycling.

Structure of the Three Displays

Grand Excel has three different displays that can be called up in succession, using the purple key.

Training Display

Used for setting general data such as activating the pulse rate record, setting the 24-hour clock,

date, printer model and switching the built-in data logger on or off. You can present all informa-

tion in the training display during cycling, using any of seven different display functions.

Program Display

With this display, you can select the training program you want to use during cycling: PO, the

free program or P1 to P10, the programs with settings. In the display, you can set, modify, view

or delete the program selected and you can see how often the program has been cycled.

Opponent Display

In this display, you can set, modify or delete the personal data of a maximum of 99 persons,

including ID number, name, minimum and maximum limits of the pulse rate and body weight. If

you would like to ride against an opponent, select an opponent in this display. If you wish, you

can also view or delete the logging data of all programs stored in Grand Excel’s memory.

Eight Function Keys Available

Grand Excel has eight function keys for computer operation. The available functions of the

yellow, orange, white and purple keys are shown in the display (fig.11).

Saving the Data

The Grand Excel computer’s memory stores all personal data and records the settings of

training programs. For each program, you can save a maximum of five trip or logging data. The

training information is always stored in SCORE. The data of a distance/slope resistance program

is stored in OPPONENT. Note, you must have an OPPONENT to ride a match. During the

match, you will see the distance in metres on the display of how much you are leading or

trailing. You can view these logging data afterwards on the display or by printing them out.

In addition, Grand Excel can store information up to 30 hours. During each training session

(if the data logger is switched on), there is a record per five or ten seconds of the actual speed,

cadence, pulse rate and power. Also, the date, time, the complete program and personal data

are saved during each trip.

Excel Analyser Software

This software provides a range of reporting functions. Trip data can be presented on a PC

screen. Your logging data will be clearly shown in the graphs and tables and, if desired, can be

printed out. The main benefit of exchanging training information between Grand Excel and a PC

is that you can analyse your training. This approach works according to the most advanced trai-

ning methods and encourages even more targeted training. Because Grand Excel has a two-way

data communication system, it is possible to receive and return a cycled program, for example,

via diskettes or e-mail. This makes it easy to enter several opponents in Grand Excel, against

whom you can ride.

You should not cycling on Grand Excel while it is still connected to a PC, since static electricity

could damage your PC and Excel computer.
