Chapter 5: Lubrication - CycleOps 100 Pro Assembly & Service Manual

Brake Adjustment
The brake mechanism on your CycleOps indoor cycle has been adjusted at the factory. However, over time due to chain stretch
and brake pad wear, it may need to be adjusted. To replace/adjust brake pad, use the following procedure:
Back off resistance until it the knob stops
turning (counter-clockwise). Then turn
clockwise 180 degrees (1/2 turn)

CHAPTER 5: lUBRiCATiOn

Chain
Over time, the chain on your indoor cycle will require additional lubrication. It is
recommended that you lube the chain every six months to maximize chain life.
To lubricate the chain on your indoor cycle, use the lubrication port that is at the
back of the chain guard Liberally spray a Teflon-based lubricant onto the chain.
Be sure each link gets lube. Be careful not to over-lubricate the chain as excess lube
will drip out of the chain guard and can stain floors/carpet.
Nuts & Bolts
It is recommended that you put a light coating of lithium grease on the threads of the
following hardware to ensure proper tightening and to prevent the parts from seizing
over time:
•Stabilizer bolt threads
•Rubber feet threads
•Pull-pin threads
•Pedal spindle threads

Loosen the clamping bolt with an
Allen wrench (*Note, early models use
a 4mm bolt, later models use a 5mm
bolt). Be sure to note the orientation
of all necessary hardware.
Align the brake pad by sliding it
towards the flywheel. Stop when the
pad just touches the flywheel. Note
that you must align the arc of the
brake pad with the arc of the flywheel.
Tighten clamping bolt to 50 in-lbs.
When properly adjusted, the Indoor
cycle should register around 30 watts
at 90rpm with no resistance applied
(can only be validated on Club Pro
300PT)
