Product Information

Full details

The MonsterShop Velo Pro Magnetic Turbo Trainer is designed for cyclists looking to maintain fitness indoors year-round by converting their own bike into a stationary trainer. Its key benefit is providing adjustable resistance for varied training sessions, simulating different terrains. A potential caveat is the need to ensure bike compatibility before purchase. This durable, powder-coated steel trainer features a heavy-duty magnetic alloy roller and handlebar-mounted resistance control, supporting bikes up to 120kg and accommodating various wheel sizes.

FAQs

What types of bikes can I use with this trainer?

The trainer is compatible with road, mountain, hybrid, and gravel bikes with wheel sizes ranging from 26" to 28", including 700C tires.

Do I need to change my bike's skewer?

Yes, the trainer comes with a specific quick-release turbo skewer that should be used in place of your bike's standard rear skewer for secure mounting.

How do I adjust the resistance?

Resistance is adjusted using the control unit that mounts to your handlebars. There are six levels to choose from, allowing you to simulate different terrains.

Is assembly required?

Minimal assembly is required. The trainer typically comes mostly assembled, and you'll mainly need to attach the resistance control to the handlebars and mount your bike.

Can I use this trainer with a thru-axle bike?

This trainer is designed for standard quick-release axles. If you have a thru-axle bike, you may need to purchase a separate thru-axle adapter compatible with this trainer.

How much weight can the trainer support?

The Velo Pro Magnetic Turbo Trainer has a maximum weight capacity of 120kg, which includes both the rider and the bicycle.

Will this trainer damage my bike tires?

Using the trainer with a standard road or mountain bike tire is generally safe. However, extended use can cause wear. For frequent use, a dedicated trainer tire is recommended to prolong the life of your regular tires.

Troubleshooting

Bike is wobbly or unstable.

Ensure the quick-release skewer is securely tightened and the bike is properly clamped into the trainer. Check that the trainer is on a level surface.

Resistance is not changing.

Verify that the resistance cable is properly connected to the resistance unit and the handlebar lever. Ensure the lever is moving freely.

Rear wheel is not spinning freely or is rubbing.

Check that the rear wheel is correctly centered on the roller. Adjust the bike's position in the trainer or ensure the roller is not overtightened against the tire.

Trainer makes excessive noise.

Ensure the tire is properly inflated. Different tire treads can produce more noise; consider using a trainer-specific tire or a mat to dampen vibrations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:
