As I indicated in another thread, I purchased the above roller trainer. Unfortunately it has come without any set-up instructions and as I've no previous experience of rollers and for safety, I'm cautious about using it without knowing I have all the parts, correct positioning, correct tensions, etc.. Torpedo have been contacted last Friday immediately I opened the box and realised the instructions were missing but thus far have failed to respond. I'm very disappointed with their response and won't be using them again.
I'll try contacting them again but in the meantime, has anyone a set of instructions for the above rollers they would be prepared to scan in and email to me?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers

Hi mate ... just bolt it together as per the picture. There is no tensioning, the drive belt runs in the groove on the side of the drums between the front wheel drum and the 'middle' drum. Only thing that adjusts is the position of that front wheel drum, the one on its own. Find that drum's position by placing your bike's back wheel in the two rear rollers and see where your front wheel sits. The drum needs to be either directly under the front wheel axle, or slightly in front of the front wheel axle. If you dropped a plumb bob from that front wheel axle, you would choose the bolt holes / drum position which is slightly forward of dead centre. Choose the ones slightly in front that spot, and NOT behind the axle.
Thats all there is to it.

Didn't come with instructions. Just match the photo and front wheel roller position as described by DD.
