Review on 🚴 Revolutionize Your Indoor Cycling Experience with Tacx Galaxia Retractable Bicycle Rollers by Will Powers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Arrived as expected and in good condition. I changed the hex bolts.

Arrived in good condition as expected. I've replaced the hex head screws holding each roller for a better home center quality. The original hex bolts that came with the kit kept slipping under the tension of someone else's wrench. The instructions are terrible, but you only need to put 6 hex screws. Before you connect the front and back rails together, turn the unit over on the floor and look at the two holes next to the gray levers that you slide out to adjust the length. These holes should accept silver pins that are spring loaded and protruding from the front rail. Depending on your bike's wheelbase, you may need to adjust the position of the silver pins on the front rail to match the holes on the rear rails. If you skip this step, the gray levers will not be able to hold the rails and the device will not snap into place. As a result, you fall to the ground, just like me. You pull out the gray plugs that hold the pins and simply move the pins to different holes. Don't lose the springs behind the pins. Quite easy. Make sure the front roller is adjusted to your front axle, mine was too far forward and the bike was never stable. And you fall down again. Save the box and put the styrofoam back in. Turn the box over so the solid part of the styrofoam is on top. I put the box next to the wheels and initially used it as a step to get on the bike. It's also convenient to touch your toe when you want to stop.
