2. Place your bike between the KICKR SNAP's clamping mechanism and align the non-drive side quick release skewer lever with the
KICKR SNAP's non-drive side clamp.
3. Close the KICKR SNAP's clamping mechanism by pulling the blue clamp lock handle down. The clamping mechanism should fully
engage the end of the skewer when the blue clamp handle is located at approximately the 4 o'clock position.
The bicycle should be secured in the clamp and the bicycle's tire is centered on the roller.
4. If the blue clamp handle feels too difficult to close, adjust the non-drive side screw away from the bike and try again. If upon closing
the blue clamp handle, the bicycle is not clamped securely, adjust the non-drive side clamp towards the bike and try again.
Once the bicycle is properly secured, adjust the non-drive side lock ring to lock the bicycle in the trainer clamp.
CAUTION: Do not over-tighten to prevent damage.
5. Tighten the roller against the bicycle's tire to prevent tire slip. To set the correct roller tension against the tire, use your hand
to hold the flywheel stationary and attempt to rotate the bicycle wheel with your other hand. The correct tension is set when
the bicycle tire does not slide or slip. The tire should not slip during use. If you experience slip during use, increase the tension
on the tire.

COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR KICKR SNAP
Download the Wahoo Fitness app for your Apple iOS or Android device.
The Wahoo Fitness app is available for free download for your Apple and Android device. The Wahoo Fitness app allows
you to test the connection to and control the resistance of your KICKR SNAP during workouts.
The KICKR SNAP is capable of wirelessly connecting to your device via ANT+™ and Bluetooth® 4.0 (Bluetooth Smart) technology.
The connection process depends on the device, application and wireless technology you are using.
Bluetooth 4.0: Available in Apple devices (iPhone4s and newer, and iPad 3rd generation and newer), Android
devices with Bluetooth 4.0 using Android version 4.3 or newer, and some computers.
ANT+: Apple iOS devices capable of using the Wahoo Fitness ANT+ Key (sold separately, available at www.wahoofitness.
com). The Wahoo Fitness ANT+ Key is compatible with Apple devices with the 30-pin connector or devices with the
Lightning connector by using a Lightning to 30-pin adapter. Computers are capable of connecting via ANT+ by using
an ANT+ USB adapter. See www.thisisant.com for compatible ANT+ devices.
PERFORM A CALIBRATION SPINDOWN
The KICKR SNAP measures the rider's power output. To obtain the most accurate power measurement, a calibration spindown
should be performed at the beginning of every ride.
Download the Wahoo Fitness app and perform a calibration spindown.
FOR BEST RESULTS
• Perform a calibration spindown at the beginning of every ride.
• Use a slick tire with the KICKR SNAP.
• Avoid use of knobby tires. Knobby tires will create excessive noise and vibration.
• Use tires with a hard compound to decrease tread wear and extend tread life.
