Rock The Bike:
On the Rock The Bike generator wheel, take off the axle nut on the drive side, the side with the gears
Rock The Bike:
Drop the wheel in to the frame.
Rock The Bike:
Check to make sure the axle can't rotate and is all the way in. Also check to make sure the tire is not rubbing on the frame anywhere, which would be a sign that the axle is further in on one side than the other.
Rock The Bike:
Put the nuts back on. Note that the axle is slightly larger on one side, so each nut can only go on one side. Tighten firmly!
Rock The Bike:
Set up your stand where it's going to be used. Rotate the handles so the cups are all the way out.
Rock The Bike:
Your bike can now be a generator, every bit as powerful as the ones we use at Rock The Bike gigs.
Rock The Bike:
Tighten but do not overtighten the handles. It will never completely tighten so it is easy for a first time user to overtighten. You simply stop a few turns after the cup contacts the nut, or when the bike feels solid and 'connected to the stand'. Overtig
Rock The Bike:
Use the locknut to hold your setting.
Rock The Bike:
Shift the bike into its hardest gear.
