RacerMate CompuTrainer Quick Start Manual

Make your CompuTrainer an immovable installation while protecting your flooring from sweat by mounting your
CompuTrainer to a Race Platform. This will eliminate trainer "walk" when you are up out of the saddle as well as
providing a surface that is easily cleaned. This plan allows running any cables off the bike and below the platform. By
building the Handlebar Controller Mount you will only be attaching the cadence sensor to the bike to speed bike swapping,
or using the cadence Puck to eliminate attaching anything to the bike.
Actual hole locations for the DIN Cable will vary depending upon your bike length and handlebar location, so mock the
bike on the platform before marking hole locations.
Materials Needed:
2 - 4' x 8' sheets of ¾" Plywood (smooth one
side).
Construction Adhesive (to glue the two plywood
sheets together).
12 (or so) 1 ¼" long sheet rock screws
(to screw plywood sheets together).
6 - 3/8-16 x 1" Tee Nuts (for Leveling Feet).
6 - Leveling Feet - 1" diameter foot with
3/8-16 thread x 1".
