JetBlack Z1-Pro-Fluid User manual

  • Hello, I'm your chat assistant. I have analyzed the user manual for the JetBlack Z1 FLUIDPRO bicycle trainer. This document covers the setup, operation, and safety precautions for your device. It emphasizes the importance of consistent setup for accurate performance data, use of your bicycle's gears to adjust the training intensity and it also includes information about the free training app.
  • What should I do before using the trainer?
    What type of tires should I use on the trainer?
    How do I adjust the resistance?
    How to achieve consistent and repeatable training sessions?

4) USING YOUR TRAINER
GETTING THE BEST FROM YOUR TRAINER:
Do not ride your trainer with less than 1.5 complete turns (three half turns) of the roller
adjustment knob after the roller rst makes contact with the tyre.Itisimportantthatthe
tensionbetweenthetyreandtherollerissetcorrectlyeverysessionfortworeasons.(1)
Itensuresthatthetyrewillnotslipontherollerwhichcouldcausepermanentdamage
tothetrainerandyourtyre.(2)Itensurestheresistanceofyourtrainerisconsistentfor
