    I recently acquired a Tacx, it came without any assembly instructions, and when I dl them while sufficient the english and the explanations were pretty poor.

    There was no section about determining what is an appropriate level of compression on the tyre between the wheel and the roller.

    Anyone let me know how I can determine that I have it about right please?

    Thanks

    Have you had a look on youtube for some videos?
    See below for a Tacx but probably a different model, it should give you the basics anyway.

    Must get mine set up again, looking forward to getting back on bike after marathon in a couple of weeks. Enjoy the sweat on the Turbo.

    Perfect, touching, then disengage, 3.5 turns tighter, re-engage.

    Thanks

    Watched that and now I have turbo trainer envy :(
    Makes mine seem rather basic!
