Roller woes

Tarckives Bikes

I just bought a set of Minoura action mag rollers (used), and when I got home and tried to ride them realized the wheel base was too long (or so i assume) because after a few rotations my bike went off the back of the rollers. So the problem is I have no idea how to adjust the front roller, anyone know anyone with these or read japanese and willing to help me navigate the site?

inb4 THERES AN ENGLISH SITE it isnt finished and there arnt manuals on it, dont know if there are on the japense one or not.

there should just be a nut on either side of the front roller. just unscrew it and move it back a notch.

Looking at pictures theyre the same as most rollers. Look along the side of the front drum. There should be holes along the base of the rollers. Loosen the nuts on both side and move the drum. Reposition the front drum so that when your bike is on the rollers, the front drum is centered with the end of the fork.

stoopid question

Its not like I can just move it wherever I want it, here is a picture, it can only go one of these 5 spots.


My only guess is that that bolt comes out of the front cylinder and falls out and then i have to re do it but Im not sure how to get it out. Nothing else seems logical. Plus I feel like when I move it back that cord going from the middle cylinder to the front will be too long? DDD :

ps sup bros been awhile.

I don’t understand how you can be confused. Maybe you’re just one of those people doomed to spend the rest of their life actually riding outside. The band connecting the drums are elastic. Trust that the manufacturer wouldn’t have shipped out the rollers with a band that only worked half the time. Pull one of the legs away from the drum. It should be pretty easy to reposition from there.

Where is your front hub in relation to the front roller? It should be slightly behind the roller. The belt should be elastic enough to be used on any of the positions.

Can you spread the frame apart far enough to move the roller back?

when i first started with rollers i’d go over the back a few times.

before you take the rollers all apart, make sure your setting it up correctly

I feel like Im totally going to break the aluminum, I tried that before I made this thread.

Maybe I will have to take this to brianforums lolz.

Spread them out?

If it to stiff, can you loosen or take off the nuts on that black cross member?

haha I JUST DONT WANT TO BREAK THEM SORRY I AM POOR. I guess I will try to force it later…

Jokes on me just took so force. Now instead of falling off the back I just fall off the sides. THIS IS GONNA TAKE SOME PRACTICE.
