Cycling Posture
NOTE: Cycling posture is unique to each cyclist and may require several adjustments. Pedals and tablets are not
included with the Tacx NEO Bike Plus trainer and can impact your cycling posture.
The image contains guidelines for the correct cycling posture while using the Tacx NEO Bike Plus trainer.
Your elbows should be slightly bent, and you should be able to reach the shifters and brakes comfortably. At the

Before Assembly 3
background
Adjusting the Trainer Geometry
Before you assemble the Tacx NEO Bike Plus trainer, consider that the saddle and handlebar have set screws
installed from the factory that can be adjusted and tightened using a hex key. To install the 4 handles, you must
remove the 4 set screws using a hex key.
NOTE: If multiple riders will use the trainer, Tacx recommends installing the handles for easy adjustments. The
handles are packaged in the assembly kit with the screws and washers. If you are the only rider that will use the
trainer and you do not make geometry or posture adjustments, you can use the set screws and a hex key.
Get off the trainer before adjusting the saddle or handlebar.
Remove your tablet before adjusting the handlebar height, reach, or angle.
Match the geometry of the trainer to your road bike (Tips for Proper Bike Fit, page24).
If you adjust your saddle more than 1 cm, check the saddle height and the handlebar reach again.
Do not exceed the maximum range of the saddle or handlebar.
If you change your pedals or saddle, check the geometry of the trainer again.
After you tighten each handle bolt, you should align the handle to be parallel to the frame or rail. You can pull out
and twist the handle.

After every use, clean the aluminum disc on the right side of the trainer with a moist cloth, and dry it
thoroughly.
Clean the saddle, handlebar, and pedals with a cloth and a mild cleaning solution.
Clean and throroughly dry the trainer before storing it.
Use the small wheels on the back of the Tacx NEO Bike Plus trainer to move the trainer.
NOTE: You should stabilize and level the trainer after moving it.
Check and firmly tighten the bolts, handles, and screws before use.
Check the power cable and adapter for damage before each use.

Device Information 21
background
Installing the Sweat Cover
Heavy sweat can get into the components of your device while riding and cause corrosion. For best results,
Garmin recommends using the included sweat cover to protect your device while riding. The sweat cover is
absorbent.
1 Place the loop around the saddle post.
2 Fasten the hook and loop straps around the handlebar.
TIP: You should hand wash the sweat cover after a few rides. For care instructions, see the back of the sweat
cover.
Wrapping the Handlebar
You should replace the handlebar tape if it is worn or uncomfortable. Sweat from your hands can cause the tape
to degrade. Garmin recommends wearing cycling gloves.
TIP: It's a good idea to replace the tape on one side first, so you can compare it to the other side.
1 Remove the bar plugs , and pull up the lever hoods .
2 Remove all existing handlebar tape and damaged electrical tape.
3 If necessary, use electrical tape to secure the shifter cables.
4 Wrap the handlebar with new tape.

Troubleshooting 23
background
Tips for Proper Bike Fit
Bike fit is unique to each person and requires some trial and error and several rides. After a few rides, if you
need help customizing the fit and geometry of your Tacx NEO Bike Plus trainer, you can try these tips.
REMEMBER: Remove your tablet before adjusting the handlebar height, reach, or angle.
Adjust your saddle height:
Measure your road bike, and match it to your trainer.
If you don't have a road bike, stand next to the bike, and set the saddle height at your hip bone.
Select the appropriate crank length of your trainer:
Match the crank length of your road bike.
Most manufacturers print the length (mm) on the inside of the crank.
Use your height or inseam to determine the crank length (Crank Length Options, page24).
Check the crank settings in the Tacx Training app (Customizing the Trainer Settings from the App,
page19).
Adjust the handlebar height, reach, or angle.
Get on the bike, and see how it feels.
TIP: If multiple riders will use the trainer, you should record the height and reach values for each rider.
If you still have questions about your bike fit, consult a professional bike fitter.
Crank Length Options
There are many published reports and crank length calculators available on the internet. If you still have
questions about your bike fit, you can consult a professional bike fitter.
Crank Length Height (approximate) Inseam (approximate)
165 mm 170 cm (5 ft. 7 in.) or shorter less than 79 cm (31 in.)
167.5 mm 172.5 cm (5 ft. 8 in.) 79 to 81 cm (31 to 32 in.)
170 mm 175 cm (5 ft. 9 in.) 81 to 83 cm (32 to 33 in.)
172.5 mm 177.5 cm (5 ft. 10 in.) 83 to 86 cm (33 to 34 in.)
175 mm 180 cm (5 ft. 11 in.) or taller more than 86 cm (34 in.)
24 Troubleshooting
background
Tightening the Handles and Screws
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury and damaging the trainer, firmly tighten all of the handle bolts or set screws before
each use.
1 Confirm the bike geometry, and select an option:
For the handle bolts, firmly tighten each handle by hand.
For the set screws, firmly tighten each screw using the 6 mm or 8 mm hex keys.
2 For the handles, pull and turn the handle only (the bolt doesn't move), and align it to the frame or rail.
The handle itself has a spring mechanism that can be snapped into alignment with the bike so it doesn't
stick out or get in the way.
3 Make sure the handle snaps back into place.
Can I pair ANT+ or Bluetooth sensors using an open connection?
Your trainer can use an open connection with compatible ANT+ or Bluetooth sensors.
1 From the Tacx Training app, select Connection Settings.
2 For Bluetooth sensors, turn off Secure Bluetooth Connections.
A confirmation message appears.
3 For ANT+ sensors, turn on ANT+ FE-C or ANT+ Power Sensor.
A confirmation message appears.
4 Bring the sensor within 3 m (10 ft.) of your trainer.
NOTE: Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other sensors while pairing.
5 Follow the pairing instructions for your compatible sensor and trainer.
When you wake up the trainer, the ANT+ or Bluetooth connection icon will flash three times repeatedly
(Display Data, page16). The connection type is open until you change it in the Tacx Training app settings.
Pairing Optional Sensors
Your trainer can be used with wireless sensors such as a heart rate monitor. Bluetooth sensors should be
paired directly to the Tacx Training app, using a secure connection. To use ANT+ sensors, you must change the
device settings in the Tacx Training app. For more information about connection types, go to garmin.com/hrm
_connection_types.
1 Bring the sensor within 3 m (10 ft.) of your trainer.
NOTE: Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from other sensors while pairing.
2 Open the Tacx Training app.
The sensor appears in the connections list, and the sensor data appears on the trainer and app data fields.
