Tacx Alpine Owner's Manual - Installing the Tacx Alpine

Positioning the Motion Base

Before you can position the motion base , you must have your bike installed on a compatible trainer such as the Tacx^® NEO 3M .

Remove the front wheel support.
Place the motion base under the front wheel.
Bring the Tacx Alpine near the front of your bike so you can easily roll it onto the motion base.
Align the motion base with the hub of the front wheel above the alignment zone , ideally near the center.
If you are using a training mat, adjust the bike and trainer so the front of the motion base aligns with the front of your training mat (optional).

If you have a quick release axle, see Attaching Your Quick Release Axle Bike.

Open installation kit , and select the compatibility gauge.
The Tacx Alpine is compatible with a bike that uses a 12 or 15 mm thru axle (What size is my thru axle?).

Snap the rotatable end caps into the Tacx Alpine.
Remove the front wheel from your bike, and hold the frame.
Roll the Tacx Alpine onto the motion base, and align the bike fork with the rotatable end caps.
Insert the axle, and check for interference.
