TrainerRoad Zwift
( Mac, Windows, iOS, Android )
( Mac, Windows, iOS ) In order to be compatible, an app must be capable of sending smart trainer commands using one of two standard connection protocols:
ANT+ FE-C Bluetooth Smart [BLE] FTMS
( Fitness Equipment Controlled )
( Fitness Machine Service ) 4 INTRODUCTION TO SMART TRAINERS 2 2.3 Smart trainer modes There are three modes for smart trainer workouts. ERG ERG mode keeps you accountable to your interval workout, ensuring you hit your power targets by increasing resistance if you slow down, or easing up if you pedal faster. Always use your bikes fastest gear (large front chainring). SIM SIM mode simulates an outdoor ride: tougher on the climbs than the downhills. Use your gears like you would outdoors. Resistance ( non-smart mode ) Fliiiight also has a non-smart mode, Resistance Mode. Use the 4iiii app to set the resistance level, then use your gears to adjust the difficulty. 5 INTRODUCTION TO SMART TRAINERS 3 GETTING STARTED 3.1 Before installing the bike in the trainer 1. Check your wheel for compatibility, if you have not done so before purchasing. a. Run a strong magnet around the wheel rim. If the wheel is compatible, the magnet will not stick anywhere on the flat surface of the wheel rim. Ensure you check opposite the valve stem. Do not use the trainer with an incompatible wheel. Go to 4iiii.com/support for assistance. 2. Install the included trainer skewer in your bikes rear wheel. a. In most cases, you do not need to remove your wheel to change the wheel skewer. Tip As long as it is properly installed, it is safe to leave your trainer skewer in your bike during outdoor rides. 6 3 GETTING STARTED 3.2 Installing the bike in the trainer: first time set-up 1. Install one speed index on a spoke. It does not matter which spoke. Slide the index towards the rim. DO NOT install the spare indexes. Doing so will will affect the functionality of the unit. 2. Open Fliiiights legs to full extension and place the trainer flat on the floor. 3. Rotate the magnet arrays so they are parallel with your wheel rim. 1 7 2 Front of Bike This Way 3 GETTING STARTED 3 2 8 3 GETTING STARTED 4. Turn the large plastic knobs counter clockwise to retract the threaded rods. Retract one completely and the other approximately of the way. It does not matter which one is open all the way. This will open up the skewer cups enough to place the bike, and make it easier to mount. 5. Back the rear wheel of the bike into the trainer frame. Aim the wheel between the magnet arrays. Tip If the magnet arrays are not far enough apart for easy installation, gently pull them open by hand while the trainer is off. Pull both sides simultaneously. 4 4 5 9 3 GETTING STARTED approximately centered. secure the trainer skewer. 8. Tighten the lock nuts against the frame. 6.

My app cant find my trainer when it scans Bluetooth Press re-scan. Do not attempt to connect to the trainer in your phones main Bluetooth connection menu. It is a different connection protocol. If you have previously tried connecting in the phones Bluetooth menu, put the device briefly into, then out of, airplane mode and connect from within the app. Allow Bluetooth and location permissions for the app. Make sure Bluetooth and location services are enabled on your phone. ANT+
Remove and reinstall the ANT+ USB dongle. Try using a different USB port on your computer. Make sure no other apps are monopolizing your ANT+ dongle. Only one app can use an ANT+ dongle at a time. If you want to run two apps that use ANT+, you will need two ANT+ dongles. 22 7 TROUBLESHOOTING 7.3 Troubleshoot your connection over Bluetooth or ANT+
Interference and signal dropping These are the common symptoms:
The app repeatedly disconnects. Fliiiight does not consistently respond to changing ERG targets or hill slopes. Power and other readings stop populating, or stick at a certain value. During simulation, your avatar keeps stopping even if your wheel is spinning. Things to know and check If the trainer is low on batteries, this will affect the range of its broadcasts. Charge the trainer. Try moving your device closer to the trainer and moving any metal objects between your trainer and your device. ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart are low-
power and short-range communication protocols. If using the ANT+ dongle, try using a USB Type A extension cord ( male to female ) to get the dongle closer to the trainer. 23 7 TROUBLESHOOTING 7.4 Alignment Your magnet array should be level with your bikes wheel rim. The trainer is shipped aligned for a standard 700c road wheel or 29 mountain bike wheel. If you have a different wheel size, you may need to adjust the resistance unit up or down. Possible symptoms of misalignment:
Magnets come into contact with wheel or tire. The trainer is not able to hit your resistance targets. Alignment steps With the bike installed in the trainer, and the trainer off, push the resistance unit over to one side, until the magnet array touches the wheel rim. Check that the magnets are level with the rim. If the magnet array is sitting too low ( touching the tire ) or too high ( partially above the wheel rim ):
1. Loosen both mounting bolts and move the resistance unit as needed. 2. Re-tighten the mounting bolts. 3. Recheck the height, parallelism, and concentricity alignment. 24 8 DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS Accuracy
