1. Note the difference between the front
and rear stabilizers. The larger stabi-
lizer with wheels goes in the rear of the
indoor cycle (under the ywheel).
3. Attach the front stabilizer to the
front of the main frame with four 5mm
stabilizer bolts and stabilizer washers
using the 5mm Allen wrench. Tighten
the inner bolts rst, and then proceed
to the outer bolts to ensure the foot is
secured properly and evenly.
CHAPTER 3: INDOOR CYCLE ASSEMBLY
Attach Stabilizer Feet
1. Remove 6mm bolt in main frame as-
sembly using 6mm Allen wrench. The
6mm bolt can be kept in place of the
large L handle for a more permanent
placement of the handlebar height.
2. Insert the handlebar post into the
head tube and secure it by inserting
the large L handle into the main frame
assembly on the right side of the in-
door cycle (chain guard side).

A seat has been included with the CycleOps Phantom Series indoor cycle. If desired, the indoor cycle can accommodate
an off-the-shelf seat to personalize the t, feel and ride. In some instances, a shorter seat post clamp is required for
individuals under ve feet tall. If desired, contact Saris Cycling Group to purchase the short seat clamp.
3. Attach the seat post clamp to the seat
post. Once the seat is level, properly
tighten with the small L handle.
2. Insert seat post into the seat tube
and secure it by inserting the large L
handle into the main frame assembly
on the right side of the indoor cycle
(chain guard side).

1. If necessary, the four outer leveler
feet can be adjusted. Turn stabilizer
feet clockwise to lower the indoor
cycle. Turn stabilizer feet counter-
clockwise to raise indoor cycle.
Leveler Feet
Level the Indoor Cycle
Move the indoor cycle to where it will be used and level it by rotating the adjustable feet underneath the stabilizers. Level-
ing the indoor cycle helps ensure a stable and quiet ride and reduces wear on the frame. When adjusted properly, there is
no rocking movement from one foot to the other.

2. Secure the leveler feet by tightening
the lock nuts, with the multi-purpose
wrench, ush against the bottom of the
rear and/or front stabilizer.
5. Loosen the 6mm bolt and place seat
rails within the clamp. Adjust to de-
sired seat placement using 6mm Allen
wrench.

If desired, the CycleOps Phantom Series indoor cycle can accommodate any standard pedals to personalize the t,
feel and ride. Install using the pedal manufacturer’s specications. Improper installation can result in damage to the
crank. Damage caused by improper pedal installation is not covered under warranty.
Attach Pedals
Right pedal
2. Locate the “R” pedal. This pedal is
for the right side of the indoor cycle
(chain guard side). Turn the spindle
clockwise to tighten. Tighten pedals
using the multi-purpose wrench or
using a pedal wrench to 300 in-lbs.
3. Locate the “L” pedal. This pedal is
for the left side of the indoor cycle (no
chain guard side). Turn the spindle
counterclockwise to tighten, because
this pedal is reverse threaded. Tight-
en pedals using the multi-purpose
wrench or using a pedal wrench to 300
in-lbs.
1. Attach the pedals onto the indoor
cycle with the multi-purpose wrench
included or a pedal wrench (not in-
cluded). Each pedal is marked with an
“R” or an “L” on the spindle. This mark
indicates which side of the indoor cycle
the pedal is intended to mount on. This
is important because the thread direc-
tions are different for each pedal.

CHAPTER 4: GENERAL USE
The CycleOps Phantom Series indoor cycle is easy to use. Adjust the seat and handlebar to alter the ride position. Adjust
resistance to change pace/cadence.
1. Adjust seat position to maximum ex-
ercise efciency, comfort, and reduce
risk of injury. Stop the ywheel and
dismount the indoor cycle before mak-
ing adjustments.
3. Turn small L handle counterclock-
wise to loosen. Move the seat post
clamp and seat forward or back, to
achieve proper position. Turn small L
handle clockwise to tighten.
2. Turn large L handle counterclock-
wise to loosen. Raise or lower the seat
post to the desired height. Turn large L
handle clockwise to tighten.

Control Resistance (Phantom 1 & 3 only)
The CycleOps Phantom Series indoor cycle allows the user full control over resistance by adjusting the resistance knob.
Lower resistance levels enable the pedals to turn at a faster (less difcult) pace/cadence. Higher resistance levels enable
the pedals to turn at a slower (more difcult) pace/cadence.
Adjust Resistance (Phantom 5 only)
Pedaling can also be controlled by the CycleOps Virtual Training Software. Reference virtualtraining.cycleops.com for
more information.
3. In case of emergency or before
dismounting the indoor cycle, press
directly down on the resistance
knob to bring the ywheel to an
abrupt stop.
1. Control pedaling resistance by
using the resistance knob located
behind the handlebar on the top
tube of the main frame assembly.
2. Turn the knob clockwise (+) to
increase resistance. Turn the knob
counterclockwise (-) to decrease
resistance.

CHAPTER 5: COMMON ADJUSTMENTS
Replace Speed Sensor Battery (CycleOps Indoor Cycle Upgrade Kit)
Over time, the lithium battery in the speed sensor will need to be changed. See Preventative Maintenance for when to
replace.
1. Using a 4mm Allen wrench, remove
the three chain guard bolts and remove
the chain guard.
3. Replace the battery with a compat-
ible CR2032.
Replace Cadence Sensor Battery (CycleOps Indoor Cycle Upgrade Kit)
Over time, the lithium battery in the cadence sensor will need to be changed. See Preventative Maintenance for when to
replace.
2. Locate speed sensor next to hub.
5. Using a 4mm Allen wrench, and
three chain guard bolts, reattach the
chain guard.
4. Using the new battery, remove the
battery cover on the back of the sensor
by turning counterclockwise approxi-
mately one half turn.
2. Locate the cadence sensor inside
main frame.
1. Using a 4mm Allen wrench, remove
the three chain guard bolts and remove
the chain guard.
3. Using 4mm Allen wrench, remove
the bolt attaching the cadence sensor
(be sure to hold the cadence sensor
arm to avoid dropping the cadence
sensor in the main frame). Slide ca-
dence sensor out of the main frame.
9
Replace Hub Batteries (Phantom 3 & 5 only)
Over time, the batteries that power the electronics in the hub will need to be changed. See Preventative Maintenance for
when to replace. The CycleOps Phantom Series indoor cycle uses two AA batteries. The battery cap is split to make this task
as easy as possible.
1. Rotate the ywheel to access the
bolt on the handle side of the battery
cap.
2. Using a 2.5mm Allen wrench,
remove the bolt on the battery cap.
Pull the plastic battery cap away
from the hub using the molded
handle.
3. Replace the batteries, paying close
attention to properly line up the +/-
poles, then replace the battery cap
and tighten the bolt.
6. Using a 4mm Allen wrench and three
chain guard bolts, reattach the chain
guard.
NOTE: After replacing the battery, Joule or Smart Device must relearn the coded ID for the sensor. Reference Joule or
Smart Device user guide for instructions (available at www.cycleops.com).
4. Using the new battery (compatible
CR2032), remove the battery cover
on the back of the cadence sensor by
turning counterclockwise approximate-
ly one half turn. Replace the old battery
with the new battery.
5. Secure the cadence sensor to the
main frame using the previously re-
moved bolt and 4mm Allen wrench. Be
sure to hold the cadence sensor arm
while attaching bolt.
