About Noise from Roller Drum
There are various reasons of the noise problem. Follows are the typical cases;
● Nut has been loosened
If the nut which holds the bearing has been loosened, the bearing cannot stay in the correct position and come out from the
hole on the roller end cap, then it generates the noise.
In the proper condition, the bearing is sunk in the plastic cap in the depth of 2.5mm. If your bearing has been moved shallower
than this level, it's the evidence that the bearing is loosened.
To avoid this problem, check the bearing regularly (hopefully once a week) and tighten the nut if necessary.
** From this version (1.2), we change the nut type for holding the bearing from a standard nut to Nylon nut.
It won't be loosened under normal usage, so the above trouble should not occur.

● Pedal slowly
While holding the wall, start pedaling slowly.
If your body has been leaned or the handlebar has been angled even a little, the front wheel will rapidly move sideward on the
roller drum. If you grab the handlebar at this moment, you will have to fall off. Do not loose your head.
Learn how to maintain the proper weight and balance control by yourself as your own physical feeling that the front wheel
stays in the same position even while spinning.
● Release your hand from the wall
When you get skilled to pedal stable, try to release your hand from the wall.
At this moment, be sure you should quickly release the hand. Slow action will ramain the gravity on your hand, and you may
loose balance at the moment of release. Quick action is crucial.
● Keep the speed faster than 20 km/h (12.5 mph)
You can ride at very slow speed if you get skilled enough, but you should keep certain speed to maintain balance while
beginner. Do not try high-speed riding, it's yet dangerous to you.
● Do not apply brake
To stop your workout, don't brake but just stop pedaling to reduce the speed gradually. At almost stop, extend your hand to
catch the wall to support yourself.
