IDT on a budget

[Uni]

I have access to one of these.

 

are you supposed to be able to change resistance as you would on a normal stationary bike? it has an "attachment" which is supposed to do the trick - connects to the handlebar but there's not any noticeable difference when adjusting that.

 

if someone has some pointers or if you can point me to a DIY video so i can check if I'm setting this up correctly would be grateful.

I use the same one. When setting it up, be sure that the resistance on the adjuster is set to L (Low). You then tighten it quite a bit to apply pressure onto the back wheel, I also pump the rear wheel to about 9-10Bars. It works for me and I can definitely feel the difference when increasing the resistance.

cool tx for the tips. will give it a try over the weekend and see how it goes.

If it stays on the same constant strength and it prety tough then you have over tightened it onto the wheel.

Also make sure the tensioner on the roller is in the the metal bit and not on the plastic..
